Hi Paul
Thanks for the links. See the UVCView report below. The PID and VID are not
the same as in the INF file, they are as you reported. Are we on to something
here?

Sorry Paul, I should have said the webcam worked for nearly 4 months before
this problem appeared. My pc is XP SP2. Apparently the problem arose after a
recent windows update. what i cant understand is why windows doesnt see it as
a vx6000 as if it sees a "usb20" camera, thats what its going to want drivers
for
One posting I found the first time I looked, suggests the VX6000 doesn't have
a serial number. (Some USB devices have a serial number, and that makes it
easier for the OS to track it, as the device is moved from port to port.)
The VID and PID were listed here. 045e:00f4. Which apparently maps to a
Sonix/Microdia chip inside the camera. That ID information, is one of
the ingredients for the OS to install a driver, from the Microsoft
software package you installed.

Since the chip is described, as 9C20X, it might be one like this.

Will those work ? I haven't a clue. Installing them, could
do more harm than good. It all depends on whether you expect
Microsoft to fix the issue. The thing is, the Sonix driver
may know about specific webcams (like what image sensor is used),
or it might not. The drivers might be removable via add/remove
or perhaps you could prepare a restore point just before installing
them.
To look at the config info coming from the camera, you can use UVCView.
This is an archived version, as Microsoft removed the page from their
web site. This should allow you to see the 045e:00f4 part, and if
the Sonix package has an INF file in it, you could compare the information
coming from the camera, to see if it matches an entry in the INF.

I cannot really do anything with the USB20PCCam_5.7.23.000.exe
file here, as it looks like an Installshield package.
If I was experimenting with that here, I'd probably use a spare
disk with an OS install on it, as a test.
Contact info for Microsoft hardware, starts here.

I followed that link, and ended up here. The techniques suggested
appear generic in nature, and yet the text at the very bottom
of the page implies the info is provided for Microsoft hardware
customers.

You could also have a look at their contact page here (but aren't
going to like the options).

problem. It sees a "usb20" webcam when I connect the unit. I have uninstalled

Windows always sees the cam as a "usb20". Have tried the microsoft email
support, which doesnt work by the way. Anybody got any ideas on this issue?
on whether your copy of WinXP is SP1 or SP2 ?

If you installed SP2, perhaps you need a different version of package for
the VX6000.
