Clevo D900K webcam drivers and XP SP3 - warning!

Hi,

(I'm new to the forum - hi!)

I've just recently had to reinstall Windows XP from scratch onto my Evesham Quest A620 (aka Clevo D900K with X2 4800, 2GB, Geforce 7800GX). I traditionally throw the drivers on, then do the whole Windows update thing. However, this time I forgot to install the webcam driver before going to service pack 3. Grief! When you run the installer from the Clevo website (same version I got with the laptop I think) it handily pops up to tell you that this needs Windows XP SP2 and then quits and refuses to install. How annoying!

Anyone got any ideas how to force it? Only option is to either reinstall or else risk a rollback to SP2.

If not, consider yourselves warned ;-)

I had the same problem and was able to extract the files with Admin Studio.
I posted them here.

You probably only need the .sys and .inf files, but grab them all anyway.
Put them into a folder and then point the New Hardware detected to it or update the driver from within device manager.

 

My webcam drivers work fine, I am using XP SP3.

Although I did have XP SP3 CD to install with, without having to do Windows Update.

 

yup, you're correct, the drivers themselves work just fine on SP3.

The problem lays in the installer they wrote. Before performing the actual install, it checks for SP2...and only SP2. It wouldn't install even if you had SP 6 (if there were such a thing). My problem was that my Windows XP install had SP3 embedded, so I couldn't even roll back and it wouldn't run.

These files should work though...they work fine for me.

 

Does anyone still have this driver without the install routine? I cannot get my camera working for the same reasons the OP stated. The link that was given shows the files deleted.

 

here is the XP driver:
http://74.212.252.103/ftp/misc/D90K_CAM.exe

extract the files and you will find a "drivers" folder.... which you can point your Device Manager to when you are not wanting to install it with the setup executable.

 

Your explanation helped me more than anything since I already had that file.
The problem is the installer. It will not work with XP SP3.

1. I got a file extractor that could handle cab files.
2. I had to search for i5comp and the .dll contained therein to make the extractor work.
3. Then I explored the cab files with the extractor and copied them out of the cab files.

 

here are the drivers (extracted out):
