How to identify whats in the camera. Mine uses the Sonix288 driver allegedly in the default firmware. However, if I check my USB device its really a ViMicro/Z-Star 303b. How do I know - mostly because I recompiled my own kernel, and added usb proc device support, and looked See here - http://www.openipcam.com/forum/index.php/topic,41.0.html If you've ever looked for drivers on the web for usb stuff, you'll be familiar with PID and VID numbers. What are they?
Running Windows7 on an Asus K52F laptop with a built-in webcam which worked fine until about a week ago. Suddenly Skype told me that there is no webcam.

HP HD Webcam Driver is a software program developed by Sonix. The most common release is 6.0.1113.1_whql, with over 98 of all installations currently using this version.

I have searched the web far and wide for a solution but the only advice I found was to check the device manager for a yellow warning sign in imaging devices and then reinstall the driver. I looked up the device manager and there is only one Imaging device registered which is my USB scanner.
