Try this bigupload download link:
IBM PC Camera Driver

Use the File Link Codes if you want to link it on your own web site.

HI. Sorry to bother you, but I've spent 7 hours looking for the ibm pc webcam driver that you talked about on your camerhacker.com site (i don't know how old that post was) and unfortunately, the only sites that have it our subscription driver sites. I even signed up for one of those sites, and they never meailed me my confirmation. (probably just sold my email to a list. sigh)

I was wondering if you still had the installation software for the webcam?

Thanks

I downloaded the driver, but get a message at the end of the installation saying

"An error occurred during the installation of the device.

The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device."

Any ideas?

I also downloaded the driver, and get a message at the end of the installation saying

"An error occurred during the installation of the device.

The class installer has denied the request to install or upgrade this device."

I decided that it is not worth it because I had so much problems with my old laptop and this is a brand new one with XP.

Anyway Thanks for the detail installation. You are very cool!

I also can't find the drivers... that weird ad-supported "DriversGuide" almost got me, too.

Could someone just post the file? Bigupload isn't working either. :(

Al, use the one on bigupload. The file is too big to post on this forum (2 MB limit).

Hey everyone. I have struggled with finding the driver myself...but try this:
http://cheserver.ent.ohiou.edu/Drivers/IBMcameraS/

I did a google on the file name itself and came up with an .edu source (free). I loaded it and it works.

I wish I could adjust the frames per second with this camera - anybody know how? Video is real choppy.

Good luck.

Anyone know where I can get the software for this? I did everything the way it said to do for the driver and when I got to the end it told me it could not find the software - But I no longer have the CD with the software on it and can't locate it on any websites to just download it ... Please, oh please, help me, it shouldn't be so hard to find something so simple! Thank you to anyone who can help!

Nikki
Fri, 16 Jun 2006 22:51:56 -0700

Never mind on the above question because after way too much searching I finally found the CD. But now I have another problem. When I try to start the camera with the software, it gives me this message: "Video camera is not working properly. The request is not supported". I then noticed the little green light on top doesn't come on - which tells me it isn't getting power, maybe? I unplugged it and plugged it back in to the port where my printer was plugged in to just to see if maybe it was that port, but it won't work in either ports. I also checked the USB Root Hubs properties and it says the device is working properly. Please..... H-E-L-P! This is driving me crazy!!!

Chieh -

Thanks for the nice article on how to get the IBM PC camera to work in Windows XP. I had a little twist on the instructions you gave though. My computer found 3 "suitable" INF files for this camera (after clicking on the "Reinstall Device Driver" button. The first of the tree choices started to install, but could not complete due to an error. The second choice installed flawlessly.

I'm just telling you this in case you would like to amend your write-up. In any case, your information was quite helpful in getting this camera to work

for anyone who is interested... I signed up for a free account at DriverGuide.com and they had a driver there that included the software. it was from IBM for this camera and is formatted to work on XP. it was a simple free download and install, no tweeking to be done. the file was called ibmv5000w2kxp

hope this helps

Thanks for the very informative site. For some reason my PC camera quit working and I was getting the "not connected" error msg. I wasn't able to find the installation CD and started to use the Wizard to find and reinstall the driver but freaked out and stopped when the scary msg came up. I found this site in Google and proceeded to reinstall that driver and everything works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

Excellent site. Thanks so much for putting this site up. It helped me get my old PC Camera installed in my new Windows XP system. Couldn't have done it without you. It is still "my OLD PC Camera" and slower than some of the new cameras I've seen around, but it works. Again, Thanks.

And you made this grandma very happy by enabling me to 'do it myself' .

This article's instructions were exactly how I installed my IBM PC cam onto my Windows XP four years ago, but now I have Windows Vista, and it is not working. I installed the software 1st, restarted, plugged in the cam, and it said that the driver was installed correctly but the device will not turn on/camera is not plugged in. I tried updating the driver via internet, and it always tells me that I have the most up to date driver already installed. I searched the web and found DriverDetective, but all of the "free" downloads cost $29.99 to make the program actually update and fix the Vista drivers. What is wrong with Vista? Where can I find a real FREE download to help me install my pc cam onto Windows VISTA (home basic)? Thanks.

I followed the instructions that you outlined and the camera worked fine. (for a short time ) Then I got the unwanted blue screen that windows gives you when there is a major problem and shuts down.

I reported the error and the responce was that the IBM camera was at fault. any Ideas?

Excerpt: Don't forget that you can hack this camera to get 640x480 by changing a setting in the registry! The instructions used to be available on cameratechsupport.com/IBM/PCPro/software_pcpro.asp but that is now someone's site to capture ad clicks so don't go there. I can't remember what needs to be ed . . .
