    I know that this is not the correct forum for this but i still need someones help on this one..

    Okay I have a Toshiba Satalite Laptop Running windos Xp(i have done all windows updaes) that I happen to love.I wanted to add a webcam that I was using from my home PC running windows Xp.
    I did not get any drivers for the webcam when It came In the mail from what i remember back when I got it.And I had no problems Installing It to the PC.

    The webcam product name Is Sarbrent and the probelm that pops up is (Cif single chip) and I am at this point still unable to use the cam on the laptop.

    Does anyone have any idea as to what this is and how can i find the drivers tht I need or do I have to go out and buy another one?HELP...
