Did you try just reinstalling it? (the original Win 7 driver)

Or do a Google search for other versions of the webcam drivers. (may be one out for Win 8)

Just cuz the manufacturer's site doesn't have everything listed, doesn't mean there isn't others that are compatible.

Have you tried right-clicking the device and uninstalling it? Once uninstalled Windows 8 should install a generic driver upon reboot.

Regards

I've been struggling with that one for almost an hour now, lol didn't even occur to me to suggest that.....

@LUTZIFER

I tried downloading the driver for Windows 7 but while installing it gives an error, could be the OS non-compatibility.

Tried googling but all in vain.

The point is that why doesn't it show up in the device manager.

It doesn't even show up in the device manager!

Yeah I've been scouring the web for quite a while now trying to find the driver he needs, but it's a lost cause. Chicony's website is a joke too. :/

at the risk of asking a really stupid question....

does win 8 give compatbility install options? (in the hope that at the very least, it might 'find' the cam then do the suto search in windows update for one)

If the device is listed in device manager and no driver is installed, at least we could do the driver update via Windows Update *same as of Windows 7*

Have you tried removing the device listed with the yellow icon beside it, looks like its a question mark?

Not sure what that means, must be a Win 8 thing, on Win 7 I've only seen exclamation marks.

And do other USB devices work? I'm assuming it's a laptop but that is still USB for webcam, my built in one still shows as a USB device.

I would assume both the devices showing there with the question marks have some sort of problems.

Maybe something wrong with Universal Serial Bus Controller driver.

Dear, that was the driver for USB 3, which I already sorted out by installing a driver for another Asus Version. All the USB's including USB 3 works perfectly.

    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/
