No drivers for Creative PC-CAM 850

**G Man** · August 31st, 2004, 04:44 AM

Hey guys... Picked up a creative pc-cam 850 as a giveaway, but no driver cd. So i go to the creative web site and they dont have anything for the model on the downloads page, I tried americas, asia, europe, all sites, no go. They acknowledge the existence of it on the 'contact' page, but no downloads. I sent them an email asking for the drivers, so i can use the webcam facility. But i dunno how long that'll take so i thought i might see if anyone else had one, and if they did, maybe they could send me the file i need. I also tried driversguide with no luck.

Also, the camera is also available under the brand 'Labtec' with the model number DC-2320.

Thanks guys.

Yeah i got that far too, problem is it's not a webcam - its a digital camera with the webcam ability when hooked up to the computer. Thanks anyway buddy.

Just to let you guys know, I solved the problem, found somebody that had the drivers and got them to send them to me, all good. I should point out, however, that creative did reply to my email, offering to send me a replacement cd for $7... no word on why they didnt have the driver available on the website or to send to me, though.

Welcome to Creative support G Man

How big a file are the drivers?

**G Man** · September 3rd, 2004, 03:59 AM

Thanks Noo Noo!

Umm, they were about 900k- 1MB, compressed... I can see why creative didn't want to send it to me, must be a massive load on their outgoing email server! Hah!

can you mail me a copy at gmail?

It might be useful to upload them to www.driverguide.com as well. I upload rare and obscure drivers occasionally. A useful site for the techie, although it didn't have the driver you needed.

Okay, Noo Noo, will do... but first, what the hell is gmail???

Also, uploaded it to driverguide, thanks for the idea, Jeff.

Ah once this place was like that, now you have to pay to find 'em here ...

- so yeah please do upload rare & pay for drivers to somewhere free

I tried looking for this driver on driverguide and no luck.

Gman, where did you post it on there??

Could you please email me the driver??

Thanks
