There has been a lot of smoke regarding missing drivers for older webcam, here and in other webcam forums, why the drivers are missing. Today I tried to install the TS webcam on a new laptop for a friend. And naturally, the "webcam missing" driver issue arose like a letter in the mail. A problem I also had on my own laptop since two years back, now using a little Azus 32bit win10 notebook instead for the cam. But at starry nights site, I found a link that went to the old Phillips SPS900 drivers, I downloaded it and tried. And, now the camera is listed in the device manager/image devices as "DTCS033 CCD USB2.0 Camera", but Sharpcap or other video tools can't see it (guess due to not under the camera section.
On my crate, I had an old installation (2012) of AMCap, so in desperation, I tried it out. And lo and behold, it works "just perfect" in AMCap, light coming in and I can adjust the filters... The question is how to reprise this behavior in Sharpcap, any ideas?
