Hello,
I got a PC webcam which was working with windows xp. Now my pc is upgraded to windows 7, but the usb camera is not recognized by windows 7.
Any solutions please!
Well dear, I got same Intel webcam that is, cs330. It is working fine with windows 7. Simply attach webcam to any available USB port, of course windows wouldn't install it automatically. Now download windows XP driver for the cam. Download link

Double click the downloaded driver file. It will extract into windows temp folder. Open device manager, choose "Browse my computer for driver software" option. Browse for temp folder in C drive that is, C:\temp\cs330_XP and click next that's all. Enjoy your antique Intel CS330 webcam on windows 7.
I've run it in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 3, and as an administrator.
I think the problem lies in that I have Windows 7 64-bit and this driver is meant for 32-bit (I got it to work perfectly with a Vista 32-bit machine using the instructions provided...
But for 64-bit (even in Compatibility mode), it just doesn't work on Win7.
If anyone does actually get it to work on Win7 64-bit, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

If you have drivers that are supported for Windows XP then try installing it in compatibility mode in Windows 7. Click on the below link and follow the instructions
