    i got a webcam from china but it didnt come with software or any thing just the webcam and thats it!! it doesnt have a make or model. ive serched for the webcam on google and it on sale on ebay and other places. i found out (from the ones on ebay) that it has a Twain driver and vfw interface. i tried googling the twain drivers on google but couldn find any thing that matches the webcam. any one got any help???

    sorry mate but wihtout a make and model number its nearly impossible to find out what driver you need.

    by the way i dont know exactly what "twain" means but i do know that its not something specific to web cams as my epson printer has a twain driver so that bit of info is actually useless

    a twain driver is a driver that allows your computer to interpret images from a cam they are different for each device
