Win7 – Philips Toucam Windows 7 Driver fix – Problem solved!
I had problems using my old Philips TouCam Pro with Win7 since Philips does not offer any drivers for it. I read somewhere that you could hack some drivers but that sounded so complicated.
Here is a driver that works with the TouCam in Win7 (at least 32-bit) right out of the box. Just do like this:
1. Download the driver package (click the drive icon under Téléchargement, which is french for download)
2. Unzip the files to a folder of your choice
3. Plug in your toucam, cancel the automatic driver installation window that pops up.
4. Open the Windows 7 Control panel, in the search field there, type ” device ” to find the device manager, open it.
5. Find your unrecognized device in the list, right-click on it and choose “update driver software”, “browse my computer for software” and browse to your folder where you unzipped the files. Click next, ignore the warning and the driver installs.
VOILA!

Brilliant!!! Thank you so much
it dosnt work…. it says windows could not find compatible driver in the folder. windows needs 64 bit driver..
thanks worked very well
@huhu, maybe this only works for 32-bit os, sorry
Perfect! It works for me! thancks!
//win7, 32-bit
@eugge, thanx for reporting os version. Seems this is only possible for 32 bit Windows.
Yes, this is for 32 bit only. Windows 64 needs completely different drivers: re-written from Win32 (no Win32 drivers can be used in Win64).
it doesn’t work, my laptop pc is a 74 using win 7… i tried several things…the pc doesn’t see the drivers in th folder…
ThankSssssSSSSS!!!!!!
