Windows 7 webcam won't work on Windows 7

[royelmo]

Hey,

I've got a TEAC web camera (model DC-5132).
It was working fine on my Windows XP, but now Windows 7 refuses to install it.
I was trying the Auto install but it didn't work.
I was trying to download a driver but i couldn't find any.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

It seems like you're facing issues with getting your TEAC web camera (model DC-5132) to work on Windows 7. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue:

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. Manual Driver Installation:
   • Since the auto-install isn't working, you can try manually installing the driver. Here's how:
     • Search for Driver: Visit the TEAC website or use a trusted driver website to search for the specific driver for the DC-5132 model that is compatible with Windows 7.
     • Download Driver: Download the driver and save it to your computer.
   []Device Manager:
   • Access Device Manager: Right-click on the Start button, then select "Device Manager."
   • Locate Camera: Look for any devices labeled with a yellow exclamation mark indicating an issue—this could be your camera.
   • Update Driver: Right-click on the device, select "Update Driver Software," then choose to manually search and point to the downloaded driver file.
   []Compatibility Mode:
   • Compatibility Settings: If the driver doesn't install directly, try running the installation file in compatibility mode.
   • Right-click Installer: Right-click on the driver installation file, select "Properties," go to the "Compatibility" tab, and choose to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP.
   []Windows Update:
   • Check for Updates: Sometimes Windows Update includes drivers. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and check for any available updates.
   []Alternative Software:
   • If the manufacturer's drivers are not available, you can try using generic camera software that might work with your TEAC camera.
   []Third-Party Driver Updaters:
   • Be cautious but consider using reputable third-party driver update software to search for the driver automatically.
   []Contact TEAC Support:
   • If none of the above steps work, consider reaching out to TEAC support for further assistance.
