I-Five

Aimslab died but I-Five webcams live on.

Having a lot of trouble installing the cam I found myself surfing on the internet to find out Aimslab died and drivers could not be found. Then my friend from wich I got the cam found the CD and 1 floppy somewhere in an old box and I could go on.
And yes... my problems were not solved.

Attention: If your AMD pc has a VIA chipset read the readme file in the driver zip carefully.
You will need a Microsoft patch (159kb) to prevent windows to freeze right after install at startup.
Microsoft download page describing this issue
Download the Microsoft usb Amd Via Windows98 patch directly

For installing the I-five webcam on Windows98 you will need the drivers (download below)
and the windows98 CD.
How to Install the webcam on other operating systems is not known to me. Please let me know.
