Wondered if anyone can help, I bought a noname digicam for my daughter and the software cd that came with it doesn't work, no support from the retailer and of course the manufacturer is unknown I tried searching online for a driver but it only recognizes that it is a "USB camera" so I have no clue what driver I am even looking for. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Windows detects the new hardware as"usb camera" When I try to install the driver on the software disk I end up getting the message "Please insert the next disk which contains file layout.bin." I found a file called layout.bin ina nother folder on the cd and copied it into the temp install folder. Install process was able to continue until another file called setup.skin was missing. It is not on the CD anywhere.
When I let windows search for another driver it doesn't find one.

instead of having windows search the cd ,choose pick from a specific location and browse to the folder where you found the layout.bin ,and maybe windows will pick all what it needs .

Still no luck. I appreciate your help.
There is no number or name on the CD. It just says digital camera and I have searched the camera even the battery compartment and there is no number. I did notice that there is a direct x file on the cd which you can run in English or Japanese so apparently it was manufactured in Japan if that helps at all. We no longer have the packaging but I know there was no name on it either. . I live in Canada. I purchased the camera on ebay and looking at the guy's feedback he has sold tons the same and people don't seem to have any problems with them. It was $32 US so I didn't expect anything too wonderful (it was for my daughter) but it would be nice if I could get it working for her.

I just noticed something, I tried to run the direct x from the cd and it said "This program is not designed for use on Windows NT"
I have Windows XP on my computer.
