Hi Michael.
Does it look like this ? -

If so it is a Creative Labs model.
Here are more models of the Creative Webcam. -

Here is the site for webcam downloads ( You will have to choose camera model you think you have. ) Unfortunately, I believe Creative only supplies update drivers and not the full driver so the update may not work for you if you don't have the original driver already installed.

Looking further some of the Webcams may have the full driver on the Creative site. You will have to figure out if this is your model or not -

Check the various webcam drivers to see if something works for you.
You could also email Creative and ask if the full driver is available.
Take care,Linda

I read this query with interest as I found myself in the same boat (but through stupidity - I mislaid my driver disk oops). My webcam came out with the dinosaurs but it works and I like it. Got it from Gateway with a package but with no info written on it. After a while discovered basic info I needed was under the stand on which it sits and tracked down the driver to some company in China. Did the old Norton test and was happy it was safe. Now we are both working together in harmony once again!!!
The web site is for View Quest Technologies Inc (that well known firm who make web cams!!
