Packard Bell Easynote BV webcam driver?

[billybear]

i have a 3 year old PB Easynote BV laptop, purchased in the UK. It previously had Vista installed, but ive just upgraded to Win 7. My webcam is now not showing up and Packard Bell are as much use as a chocolate tea pot.

Can someone please tell me which make of webcam is used so i can find a driver

thanks

Check out their support site and see if you can find the driver. Chances are that they only have the Vista one, but it should work. If not, report back.

It's frustrating when tech support doesn't even know what their own company uses in their laptops and such. After doing a bit of a cursory search, all I could find in regard to the webcam is that it is a "TJ65." Here are the google search results for drivers for it (it's up to you if you want to try any of them):

thanks Buwish,

managed to get it installed thanks to you identifying it as a TJ65 - went back to Packard Bell support, legacy drivers and downloaded a vista 65 driver for webcam and up it came

cheers
