Windows Device Identification strings look rather cryptic (for example, USB VID_093A&PID_2468 5&B114931&0&1) but these strings are fundamental to Windows Plug-and-Play and how Windows figures out which drivers work with what devices in the first place! ​ This guide describes how to identify the Hardware IDs for a USB web cam, then try and find a driver that matches the Hardware ID.

The driver must also be compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Note that older cams may not have drivers that work with newer versions of Windows. (For example, an older web cam may only have XP compatible drivers.) But you won't know unless you first try and look! Update: In addition to the manual search method described below, here's two FREE driver finder tools you can also try that may help find your driver. Connect your cam before you run the tool. Note these tools may also find driver updates for devices other then your webcam. I advise​ • 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' Don't install every driver update just because it finds one.

• Only install driver updates for devices that aren't working or you think need them. • Create a System Restore point before installing new drivers. // End Update 1. Connect your web cam • Attach all power cords (e.g. Laptop and/or web cam). • Plug your USB cam directly into your computer ( do not use any external USB hubs). Turn your cam on • As long as your web cam and computer hardware are working, Windows should detect it!
