I have the same camera...the product is manufatured by jasco and there's no driver CD included in the Cam. You have to download the drivers from:
http://www.jascoproducts.com/cgi-loc...html?E+scstore
You'll see several cameras...ours is 98067 (second to last from the bottom).
Good Luck!

i dont know what 2 do with the drivers after i get them what is the process
????????????????????
Ah, the instructions on the site seem a little strange...
Assuming you have XP, you should be able to double-click on the 98067.ZIP file you downloaded, and use Extract All to unzip the file. For older Windows versions you'll need a utility like WinZip.
If you've done this, you'll slightly confusingly have a folder called 98067 with another folder in it called 98067... Anyway, in there should be an InstallShield installer called GE 98067 MiniCam Pro.exe
Double-click the file to install the drivers. Normally you should not have the camera plugged in while installing drivers, unless the driver installation asks you to plug the device in.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I have the same cam, and now that I have Windows XP Pro 64 Bit the drivers that came with it don't work. I went to the link you had and downloaded that file. After installing it, it kept doing the same thing like that downloaded driver wasn't for a 64 Bit system either. What should I do?
The location of the Driver downloads has changed to:

If you go to the site noted in post #8 above and click on the 'instructions' tab for your model of camera it tells you what OS's are supported.
They also have a Vista reference site BUT no camera data yet:

Welcome to Windrivers Adorkable20
It seems you omitted to read post #8 which has a link to the drivers on it :)

I downloaded the driver from THE site. I seems to be the same as the disk that came with the camera. My camera is a Rev. 4. The one they show compatible with Vista seems to be a Rev. 1. Mine worked fine with XP It gets a raster on vista but the raster is trash.
Following is from JASCO site (This only applies to cameras marked with Ver. 1 (item #98067) on the bottom of the base of the camera.) If your camera does not have Ver. 1, it is not Vista compatible.
So if your camera does not have Ver. 1 on the base and you are using Vista------forget it.
Welcome to Windrivers jokerj and sorry to hear that your camera won't work. Fortunately these things are not too expensive nowadays.
Thanks, NooNoo. This is only part of the Gates conspiracy----which seems to be compounded with the introduction of Vista. I expect more problems to come up as I try to use more of my old programs. First, I could not access Help for some of my MS Office programs because they are not supported. Next, my Cad program wouldn't work and I had to buy a new one. Now the camera. I'm waiting for the next shoe to fall, and feel that I am dealing with a caterpillar.
Oh good grief... if you wanted to use it with Vista you should have checked for compatibility FIRST. There is no conspiracy except in your inability to understand that Vista is a NEW operating system for NEW hardware and NEW software. While it does provide some backward compatibility, there are limits which have been well documented... hell there is even a wizard to help you with finding out whether it is compatible BEFORE you install Vista.
Ok, I have one of these webcams and can't install it via the cd because I don't have a cd rom on my lap right now. I've installed the drivers from the webpage given both with the webcam plugged in and not and it still won't recognize it. What am I doing wrong? I need to get it working ASAP to talk to my husband in Iraq. Any and all help is appreciated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and rebooted. Thanks.
Welcome to Windrivers mrsmfshort
First of all, what windows are you running on the laptop?
Second, what is the make and model of the laptop?
Third, are all your windows updates done?
I've got XP on an Inspiron 6000 (Dell) and I don't have any messages saying to update so I'm gonna assume I'm up-to-date. I saw on another message board that Direct X update might help and I did that to no avail too.
Ok, I downloaded the drivers for the 98656 model and installed those and that got me further. (My disc said that was the other model it worked for. It was a shot). I can now bring up the program and I have a light on the cam, but the screen is dark. My messengers aren't recognizing any picture either. Any ideas?
Are you sure this camera is good? Does it appear in device manager? (Right click my computer, select properties, hardware tab, device manager button)
I have a desktop and it's installed on there and works just fine. It's not the best thing in the world, but it does work, at least on the desk. I'm just not getting any picture on the lap when I open it up.
Right, so it works on the desktop computer fine, but it doesn't work on your laptop. Is the operating system the same on both the desktop and the laptop?
Is this cam compatible with windows vista or not? Please help!! And if so how do i make it work??
Welcome to Windrivers legacy laced
it depends on the model number of the camera.
The company that handles GE Webcams is called Jasco. Their technical support number is: 800.654.8483, option 4, be prepared to hold. Hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 7:30am - 5:00pm (CST). Don’t waste your time telling them it doesn’t work. They don’t want to hear it. They insisted that I was my laptop and not the driver. I explained that I used the driver downloaded from their website and it didn’t work. I was told that there was no difference in the driver disc they would send me… I persisted. Guess what? When the disc arrived, I loaded it into the laptop. Installed the driver once again. Went to START, right clicked on MY COMPUTER, went to PROPERTIES, then HARDWARE, then DEVICE MANAGER. In the list you will see a YELLOW QUESTION MARK next to the USB camera. Right click it and UPDATE DRIVER, run the HARDWARE SETUP WIZARD and all of the sudden by some incredible miracle the webcam will start working. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the disc, I’m sure it was because the stars were perfectly aligned paired with the incense I was burning while I chanted incoherently. Whatever the case may be, get the disc and get cam-ing!

Interesting that... funny how that seems to happen alot with these types of products... can you make an iso of that disk and upload it somewhere? If not, private message me and I will make arrangements.
I've got a 98067 Rev. 2. I've downloaded 98067.zip from Jasco. I followed the directions of installing the software before plugging in the cam. Although the software installed, I keep getting the "found new hardware" dialogue when I plug it in. I've uninstalled, rebooted, powered off, and I was considering sacrificing a goat, but I thought I'd see if anyone else had a suggestion first.
Welcome to Windrivers unixkaiser
And your windows version/Service pack level is?
That WOULD be helpful. My bad.
OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
When the hardware device wizard launches, have you pointed the wizard at the folder where you unzipped the driver files? Does the wizard identify what the device is and if so, what exactly does it say?
Have you got the chipset drivers installed for your motherboard? Do you have any other usb devices?
Unfortunately, the zip only contains an .exe. I tried to see if the exe was just another zip, but, alas it is an actual installer program.Quote:

"Welcome to found new hardware wizard... install software support for USB camera... install automatically?... specific location?"Quote:

So it doesn't recognize the vendor or model.
I believe so.Quote:

Quite a few. In fact, a year ago I had this very camera working. I had uninstalled it since I didn't use it much.Quote:

The previous poster (thewillie) found that getting the CD from support check here for details was the only way forward.
Note the page says that the drivers must be installed with the cam disconnected and then shut down. While it is shut down, connect the camera and then start the PC with the camera connected.
It might be worth installing the drivers again as described above. If you do go the route of getting the CD would you please compare the cd with the download and let us know if it is different?
Failing that, I can only suggest you look in the windows directory for files created on the day you installed them. It must have created or modified some system files.. then you could point the request for the drivers at any .inf or .sys files you find.
