Dell Latitude E6220 webcam drivers for windows xp

hello
recently i purchased a dell latitude e6220. i want to downgrade from windows 7 to windows xp pro (32bit), but can't find built in webcam drivers.
seems that windows 7 native drivers suit for the webcam, but dell drivers page doesn't provide them for windows xp.
searching the net for the hardware id (USB\VID_1BCF&PID_2804&REV1310&MI_00) results nothing.
so can someone point where can i download appropriate drivers?

 

Does Windows XP have a generic driver for it? If not, then you're out of luck.

As a side note, there's no reason to be running a 10+ year old OS on modern hardware...if you need it for compatibility purposes, you can run XP in a VM using a variety of methods, including the built-in XP Mode feature, Microsoft Virtual PC, or VMware Workstation. It'll save you a lot of headache with security issues and hardware compatibility.

 

unfortunately windows xp sp3+ shows yellow exclamation mark for that piece of hardware ...

i assume, that dell does not use (so much) different webcam solely for e6220. so maybe some more informed person can share his knowledge about this and that?

i'm aware of all other options, but right now windows xp sp3+ 32bit is my choice

 

Try the E4310/E6410/E6510 webcam driver, which has a Windows XP version. It's the closest match, and if you're lucky, it might work...

thanx, Robin24k, i'll try those drivers and post about results

 

i,m sorry, answering for a while, but driver problem was caused by some hardware malfunction or failure: after reseller "serviced" a product (replaced whole lid (camera, antennas and lcd panel)), the problem is gone default windows xp camera drivers (shown in Device Manager under "Imaging devices" as "USB Vide Device") fits for the camera very well

accoring to hardware id's from *.inf file dell latitude E4310/E6410/E6510 webcam drivers won't work. despite i think somewhere there should be better (newer) drivers.

so, in general, i think the problem is solved

 

That's good to hear, glad you got it fixed. Hardware sometimes fails in strange ways...
