If you are looking for Driver for Creative Webcam Instant (Model VF0040 or PD0620) to work on Windows 7 then you will find it at the link shown below. Make sure you pick Creative WebCam Instant x64 driver Version 2.00.04.0825. This driver provides Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition support for Creative WebCam Instant and works on my Windows 7
you may have a webcam that is not vista compatable. If the drivers are not on creatives website for your cam, for vista, you are suckered. Try swapping your cam with a friend or a recycle website for a one that is vista compatable. best of luck!
(this link will expire shortly... If it does, you can go HERE, and download the driver from driverguide, but you will have to sign up or view a series of ads
My wife has a new computer with Vista on it. I tried to plug in my Creative Webcam Instant into it, thinking there would be no problems. Turns out that Creative doesn't support Vista for a couple of its webcams. I fixed it, though, and now there's no problems. What you have to do is take advantage of a couple of Vista's less-obvious features. Put the Creative CD in. On the CD (not in a folder on the CD), there's a setup.exe. Right-click it and select "Properties". On the "Compatibility" tab, enable the option to run it in compatibility mode for XP SP2. Then also check the "run as administrator" option, just for good measure. After that, it will install just fine (otherwise, the Creative installer tells you that it doesn't support your version of Windows). Then, after it installs, find the program's executable. It should be in the relevant program files folder (if you're not sure, hover over the webcam center shortcut in the start menu, and see where the program is actually located). Do the same thing for the program executable (right-click, compatibility tab, enable compatibility mode for XP SP2, enable running as admin for good measure). If it doesn't work for you after all that, I don't know what to tell you. It works just fine for me now (it didn't want to otherwise).
