IBM PC Camera to work

Note
The rest of this article will walk you through getting the IBM PC Camera to work with Windows XP. But make sure you installed the software that came with the camera first.
Hmmm . . . First thing to diagnose this type of problem is to examine the driver status in Device Manager. You can get to the device manager by right-clicking on My Computer, clicking on Properties, clicking on the Hardware tab, and then clicking on the Device Manager button. The Device Manager on my notebook computer indicated a problem with a USB IMAGING DEVICE (see picture below).
Double-clicking on the USB IMAGING DEVICE brings up the Properties. It turned out that the driver for the IBM PC Camera is not installed, as shown in picture below. To install the driver correctly, click on the "Reinstall Driver..." button.
The "Reinstall Driver..." button brings up the Hardware Update Wizard, which will help guide you through installing the correct driver for the IBM PC Camera. The first thing it asks you is whether you would allow it to connect to Windows Update server to search for the software driver. Pick "No, not this time", see picture below, because I have already tried the other options and they are no help. Click on the "Next >" button to continue.
