480K Webcam : Drivers and instructions

To download the drivers, please click on the link below

480K Webcam drivers [zip file]

1. Right click and 'save target' to 'Desktop'

2. When the download is complete, double click on the file 480kwebcam.zip

3. Windows will ask you where you want to unzip the files to - the default setting might be c:Temp but select 'Desktop' if you can. Windows will create a new folder called '480kwebcam' within which are the files you need to install the drivers.

4. Open the folder 480kwebcam and double click on 'setup'

5. Run through the installation program, following the on-screen instructions

6. Restart your computer, then plug in your webcam.

7. You should be able to launch the webcam from within AmCap (which will now feature in your Start > Programmes) or directly in Skype / MSN

Please note that only one program can handle the webcam at any one time. Therefore you can't open the webcam in Amcap and MSN at the same time.

I've written more troubleshooting information on another page, which is also relevant to this webcam. This page also has information about using your webcam with Skype, sorting out any picture quality issues and sound/microphone problems. There's also a section if you can't get any picture at all.
