Ok, so a LONG time ago, about 2005, someone gave me a Creative WebCam Instant. I want to hook it to my win 10 machine, but when i try and install the driver from the creative website, it says it only supports XP. Is there anyway to get this installed? i just need it for something simple.

thanks

I also tried updating the driver via device manager and windows cant find a driver for it

Other than trying compatibility mode (right click the exe, choose properties ect) I think your out of luck with this one.
