looking for a driver

haymur

I am looking for a driver for a cheap 7mm endoscope camera with LEDS which I have bought. It came with a CD but the software won't run on my laptop which has Windows 8. It only works on Win 7 and XP . I have been on to the supplier and verified this.
Another option I tried was to use it on my 10''tablet which is a Nurvo Android. I have downloaded loads of apps but they only recognised the built in front and back cameras and not the external USB camera. Any suggestions of software or apps for this would be great

appily, there’s a way round this problem too. If you go to the Advanced Startup app in Windows 8, you can choose to reboot the computer with Advanced Startup options enabled. You’ll then be given the opportunity to boot into various troubleshooting modes, including Safe Mode, Debugging Mode and the snappily-named “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” mode.

No, it’s the driver. Windows 8 supports drivers from windows 7 (this happens frequently: 95-98 ME 2K-XP VISTA 7-8).
