    I think you should check out all this things on the Creative’s site I hope they might have made some driver for their webcam which might be compatible for windows 7. I would like to suggest you to check also at the Microsoft website they might have had the driver for the webcam and then download the driver to the system and then go to the device manager which takes you to the unknown device option and then click on the update and after this point it to the directory where the extracted file is saved into the system. Also remember that this all should be done after the attachment of the creative webcam.

    So you want to know how to install the driver for the webcam which you have already tried but fails as it is not getting installed into the system as it shows that it not compatible with windows 7. SO to install the driver you need to follow the steps given below:
    • First of all cancel the auto play if you are getting the auto play at the same time as you have inserted the CD.
    • After this in the next steps brows the CD and look for the setup.exe or something which is similar to this.
    • After this do a right click on the setup file and then select the option Run Compatibility Mode for Win Xp or 98 or whatever version you have printed on the CD.
    • Do not allow the creative to update it as the newest update won’t work so try installing the driver which you have on the CD.
