My Webcam Installs a Different Driver When Plugged-in."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I have an A4Tech PK-810G webcam. It was working perfectly until yesterday. I used it on Skype and the video is not working but the microphone is. Same with Facebook. I uninstalled the USB root drivers from a clean boot but when I tried to plug-in the webcam, it installs a different driver which is Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venus) and is now detected as is. I tried it on different ports but the result is just the same. The problem is, the A4Tech support website doesn&#8217;t have the driver, as well as the CD the webcam came with (it says it&#8217;s &#8220;driver-free&#8221;). Now, I can&#8217;t use system restore either since the last time I used the webcam is 4 days ago and it&#8217;s not available on the options. Now, I found out on the web that I&#8217;m not the only one who had the same problem.
