Hi everyone

I recently installed Vista x64 on my desktop, and I plan on keeping it. I managed to get everything working well, even an old bt878a-based capture card (didn't have sound, but now I connect my VCR, since I use it for tunning, directly to the PC's line-in and it is working well), but this **** webcam is a no go.
I myself didn't even use it, but the thing is: it is a shared computer, and my relatives want the webcam working. I can't just tell them to buy another one, because this one is perfectly fine, and does its job well enough, but I don't want to just ditch x64 and go back to XP x86, not because of some stupid USB webcam.
In linux, this Webcam is supported by the spca5xxx module. I tried installing the x64 driver for Logitech QC for Notebook, which uses the same module, and it is a no go. Does anyone know ANY way to get it working?

EDIT: I didn't know the "d" word was censored oO, sorry

In looking at the vendor's support site, I see nowhere that they write x64 drivers for this product - only x86. So, unless you can find another vendor that uses the same internals that writes an x64 driver you can use, you will likely be out of luck.

There's a list of vendors who make products based on this chipset here. Good luck.

No go

Well, I'm not going back to x86, I'm stubborn and I'm gonna stick to x64 . I have an P3 700 which is installed in another room, in which the webcam works perfectly, so I'm gonna leave it there, and buy another camera for this one.
