Getting a Webcam to work on a 64-bit processor

I was recently given an EasyCam Pro (Model HO98064) as a gift. When I attempted to install several drivers to use it, I was alerted with the message stating that the driver could not be installed properly. Looking into it, I found that this webcam is not compatible with a 64 bit processor. Is there any way for me to almost force the webcam to be compatible with my computer?

Depending on the device age, there may not be any 64-Bit drivers for your particular camera. I tried doing a search on multiple driver websites but there were few relevant hits.

Does the camera have a manufacturer or is it just a generic brand? Visiting the manufacturers website may yield more results.

Edit: I just found this link stating that the camera you have (I think it's the one you have) is not 64-Bit compatible.
