How to install the unknown device driver

How to make the unknown hardware device running correctly? many friends encountered a similar situation when install a new machine, through a real case to explain the process for everyone.
Step 1: First log Acer website to find ASPIRE 5100 series driver, found camera driver was not provided under the Windows XP, but under Windows Vista system provides three driver (Figure 1), where to download the driver under Windows XP do?
Step 2: The priority is to determine the camera vendor information. Download USBVIEW tools (Download: http://www.cpcw.com/bzsoft). The tool designed to detect USB device PID and VID information (the so-called VID means Vendor ID, that is, vendor ID, and PID is the product ID). With the VID and PID of the specific information, we can roughly know the chips used in devices.
Step 3: When using software to determine the USB device PID and VID information, we can go to professional Web site to find a specific vendor, and then press the manufacturer name and model to find driving. In this case, the software identified by the Vendor ID is 0×5986 (Figure 2), by looking for information to determine which is Bison WebCam.
Step 4: Determine the specific vendors, and then find a driver becomes targeted. Then log on http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5100.html, download the appropriate driver (ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5100/driver/Bison_CCD_5_0_0_10f . zip). After installation, run the Acer OrbiCam program, enter the property to set the interface (Figure 3), seen on “rotation” of the setup options, check the “vertical direction” item, the image display back to normal.
Many people have completely forgotten the specifications of the model. Fortunately, the major chip manufacturers produce small, we can through the device manufacturer to determine the number of its main chip manufacturers, in determining the manufacturer’s official website after the adoption of the hardware or third-party Web site to download the corresponding driver, in general can normal “drive” hardware. Lastly, I hope this can help us in the future maintenance of the hardware.
