    the webcam might not be backward compatible with XP. There might not be drivers for it

    Hi there, my notebook is Lenovo Z61m model 9450-A38. I can't install the intergrated camera and bluetooth devices. I do clean install both XP and Vista Ultimate on it. Every devices work fine except them. Inside Devices Manager don't show any unknown hareware, and also there is no "Imaging devices" name neither (both XP and Vista 's devices manager).

    I found there is a driver folder name CAMERA under original OS (Vista Home) came with this machine before I made an clean install (I backed it up). But even I installed this driver, my Vista Ultimate haven't realized the camera. Yahoo Messenger and MSN Live said it can't find any camera attacked to my notebook. I looked inside some .ini file of camera's driver and note this camera name SN9C202. Then I went to sonix webside and got newest driver of this camera model, but Windows realized nothing. I also note that my machine there is 5 unused usb port. I wonder if this camera is usb cam so why all the usb port unused? I also used this Windows XP Update Module Q909667 before install driver onto Winxp sp2, I also tried do clean install Winxp SP3 but things are the same, Vista is too. The cam haven't worked.

    I also have no any clue about bluetooth devices too. I do try and errors many case but can't make these things work. I have no anymore ideas. :confused:

    Someone can help me please.
