Haven't tried it with other version of the Eye Toy, nor other versions of Microsoft Windows. If you try it, please let us know if it works. Installing the Driver Now it's time to install the driver.
To initiate the driver installation, plug the Eye Toy into the USB port of your Windows XP computer (while the computer is on). Windows XP will automatically detect that you have plugged in a new device. It will bring up the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' as shown in the screen shot below.
When it asks you, 'Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?' Answer by selecting 'No, not this time' and click the 'Next ' button. The 'Found New Hardware Wizard' will detect that you've plugged in the 'EyeToy USB camera Namtai', shown in the screen shot below. It will ask whether it should install the software automatically. Select install from a list or specified location (Advanced).
Then click 'Next ' button to continue. The wizard will ask you where to look for the driver. Select 'Search for the best driver in these locations.
Then uncheck 'Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM.)'. Instead, check 'Include this location in the search:'. Use the 'Browse' button to find the folder that you extracted from the driver you downloaded. The screen shot shows an example of the selection dialog final output.
Push the 'Next ' button to continue. The wizard will then attempt to find the right software and install it. Don't be alarmed when it tries to install the 'D-Link VGA Webcam' driver as shown in the screen shot below. That's the right one for the Eye Toy. The wizard will prompt you with a warning dialog as shown below. You have to click on the 'Continue Anyway' button to install the driver. Then all of a sudden, it will present you with a strange 'sel3110' dialog box (see screen shot below).
It contains an exclamation icon and a bunch of question marks. The question marks are probably un-display-able Unicode for another language. The only thing you can do is to press the 'OK' button. Next, you will be prompted with the 'Power Frequency Setting' dialog as shown in the screen shot below.
If you live in European countries, Australia, or India, then click on the 'Yes' button to continue. If you live in American countries, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, then click on the 'No' button. If your country doesn't show up on this list, then you need to figure out if your country's power outlet is on 50 Hz cycle or 60 Hz cycle. Tip Don't know your country's power frequency?
Try one of the option. If you get image flickering, you can always uninstall the driver through the 'Device Master' and then perform this installation procedure again.
Now you are done. The wizard will prompt you to finish the installation as shown in the screen shot below. Click on the 'Finish' button to complete the process. You can now enjoy using your new computer web cam and microphone.
Okay, so in this instructable we will be turning an Eyetoy into a webcam for Windows Vista. If I find any drivers for Windows 7 and XP I will update this post, however I have heard that the Vista driver is compatible with XP systems. Essencially what we will be doing is installinga new driver, if you don't know what that is I will explain.
A driver basically allows your computer to communitcate with other software. They eyetoy is missing a driver, when plugged in your computer will recognize that it is a picture/video device but not that it is a webcam, you need to install a driver that will allow your computer to recognize it as a webcam and use it as one. This instructable should cost you no money, assuming that you already have an eyetoy. The driver download is free. The first thing you want to do is check out what model you have.
If you have one of the older ones it should be a logitech, if you have the newer silver one it should be a namtai. You can also check this by checking your device manager via the control panel, it should designate it as either a logitech or namtai. Next what you want to do is go to this website: This is the result of searching 'eyetoy' on Select one of the two choices as shown in the picture below, choosing either the Namtai or Logitech version of the driver. Also make sure you are selecting an option with the author by the name of Thomas Dobson.
Next you want to proceed to download the file you selected. The download button should say 'Download Now (no viruses detected)' Go through all of the download steps. Just a note, it will ask you if you live in a 50hz country.
Countries like the US and Japan are 60hz countries, if you don't know what area you live in you can google search a list of 50hz countries. Also you will most likely encounter a box that just says '???????' And the option to click OK, it doens't mean something went wrong so just click OK and continue. Finish the download and your Eyetoy will be a fully functional webcam! It's actually a pretty high picture quality so have fun!

I chose one By:, the most recent was quaranteed by Macafee for containing a Trojan. This one appears good. I can't really get any of the contents to work independently, so I have no way to directly install a driver through the device manager or the file contents.
AMCAP is present as Awatson16 mentioned, various application extentions, security catalogs, and SET files. I will keep pushing, but it isn't looking so good.
