Wrong driver for Webcam (help)

[Crafting]

Hello there

 

I own a HP HD-4110 Webcam.

It worked a long time ago, but I would really have it fixed now.

The driver is mistakenly seen as "SunPlusIt PC Camera"

 

How can i force the camera to choose another driver? I tried removing and uninstalling the driver, but it automatically chooses the same one the next time i put it in.

 

If you need any more info, then I'll be happy to reply as soon as possible.

If you go to it in device manager, click and select update driver, choose pick a driver and either have it scan the folder it's in or pick I will choose what to use myself, and then click have disk and browse to the driver's location.

Yes, I've tried that, but the driver just reinstalls the same one the next time I plug it in. And the search for driver function just says it already has the right driver on it.

ah, not sure what to tell you then...maybe go for a new web cam? They don't cost that much now.

 

You could try to go and manually delete the driver it keeps installing but that may not work. What version of windows are you running?

I've uninstalled the driver several times, but it just reinstalls the bad driver, since it can't find anything else I guess.

Im running Win10

hmm. it should let you override it then...does it give you the option to remove the driver when you uninstal? If it's a stock driver it might not, but most of the one windows will download for you can be removed.

It does not let me override, it can't get rid of the SunPlusIT PC driver for some reason, and I am 100% sure that it wasn't the one it came with.

Well, I'm out of ideas. maybe someone else will jump on and be able to help you, good luck.
