I have an older USB webcam here that I can't find any sort of drivers for. The model is an HP PP136AA#ABA, it's fairly old. When I connect it to my computer, Windows identifies it as a "CIF Single Chip" device. I have looked online for hours for a driver for this, searching for both "CIF Single Chip drivers" and "HP PP136AA ABA drivers". The only links I have found were dead, and I've got no other information to go by. If anybody has information on where to find a driver for this or the driver itself, I would appreciate it.

Thanks, MrAnthology

Try this its from driversguide.com they had it there. I used google to search for it. http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=736507

A good place to look for older drivers for something like this is this place. Its good to have it bookmarked. I have downloaded from there on several occasions for drivers of the weirdest kin for some of my computers.

I appreciate the response and that you took the time to look for a solution, but I've found that site in my hours of searching. The reason I'm not using that website is that it's a paysite. It doesn't ask for payment until you click the download button. I'm not really keen on paying for drivers, but thanks anyway though.

I'm curious.

Exactly how old is this webcam of yours? If I recall correctly, even some old crap webcam I bought for 8 bucks worked right off the bat without any additional drivers on Win7.

I don't know how old it is other than the fact that I bought it in 2006, so it's at least that old. When I plug it in, the driver installation fails. I still haven't found a working driver, haha.
