All drivers for Windows 8 are available on the Microsoft website. Since Windows 7 all drivers need certification, from Microsoft and then you can download them there. All other drivers offered via other sites, could still work fine on older operating systems, but not on Windows 7 or 8.x. So older hardware can't be installed, unless you get certified drivers form Microsoft.
Strivinz : 'M' button became '0' whih means Numeric ON. (numeric : 0123456789) turn it off by pressing FN+Num lock. And for your Operating system...Try using Vista Ultimate (works for my vaio vgn-s270b) or Windows 7 Ultimate (motion eye application might not appear > but you still can access the camera via devices and printers Section.
Took from the FAQ on Phillips support page At the time this webcam was designed, Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems did not exist yet. Unfortunately, the internal hardware of the webcam does not match the requirements of these operating systems. Therefore we cannot provide a software upgrade (driver upgrade) to support Windows Vista or Windows 7. We apologize that we are not able to support you in this matter.
Check if there are Vista drivers since Windows 7 and Vista are very similar. If they are not available then you'll probably have to go back to your previous operating system.
mcdevito75 here, You should be able to up-date your windows 7 to vista, for your home page type in up-Date windows OR! left click on tools (very top of screen) then click on windows up date.
Did you happen to make a recovery point? Vista is pretty good about this. Restart your system and push f8 until you get to the recovery and troubleshooting. Then just use recovery console and restore it to a previous point. If you cant do this you might need to do a fresh install of vista.
My Veo Stingray works with Vista Ultimate just fine.
How I did mine:
Search for and find on the net (like I did once upon a time) a file named:
"veo_330V_v002"
Install it- Mine wouldnt finish install (95%) because of ".DLL load failer"
Once rebooted- when the system tried to install driver auto. I just browsed to the "c:\program files\veo stingray\drivers folder (created) and it installed and works now.
