Webcam undetected, is Unknown Device in Computer Management
Webcam undetected, is Unknown Device in Computer Management
Status
Logitec C160 Webcam (was operating under XP)
- moved to a Win 7 Premium PC
- Logitech Webcam Software doesn't detect Webcam
- Computer Management shows it as Unknown Device
- Webcam shows no sign of life (should it anyway?)
Steps Taken
- Checked compatibility (rated for XP , Vista, Win 7 and Win 8.1)
- Logitec sourced 160 lws251.exe installed (re downloaded/ re installed several times)
- Uninstalled Driver attempted Update (won't see drivers in Logitec install folder)
- Tried different USB ports
- Tested USB ports
- Consulted Logitec site (very helpful **cough)
- Followed these steps and repeated three times.
USB Driver - General Fix for Problems
- Said some bad words
What I don't know
- Anything specific to Webcams (never used this one myself)
- Whether Logitec 160 lws251.exe actually includes drivers (must assume yes)
(original XP machine has had a melt down, so unavailable for cross checking)
I'm stumped any suggestions?
Cheers,
