I'm lost.......

I had a cheap little Digi Cam that took stills and operated as a reasonably good webcam. All of a sudden it stopped doing anything. There were pics in the cam, but it said there wasn't. I tried to use it with Yahoo Messenger 5.6 Version and for about 1/2 doz. tries I got an invalid page fault then it shut down. For the next 1/2 doz. tries I clicked on 'start my webcam' and.........nothing. Not a thing! After uninstalling and reinstalling about a dozen times, I was still not finding any pics in the cam, and kept getting an error message "no video capture hardware" when I tried to run the webcam on it's own program.

Thinking the poor little cam had died, I purchased a new cam yesterday. This is a Nexxtech 1.3MP Digital 3-in-1 camera. And guess what??? Sammmmmmmmmme problems. Only thing different, is after I install from the "CD", it asks for my win98SE disc for three files:
IYUV_32.DLL
STREAM.SYS
MSH263.DRV

I'm stuck as I do not have a win98SE disc, I bought PC 2nd hand and there was no disc with it. ANY ideas on how I can get either/or cam to work??????????

I'm going

Thanks in advance!!!

Those files are probably available for download.

Just enter the exact filename into Google.

However that may be only the start of whats needed, you really should have the CD as you will be stuck for many things without it.

If the media did not come with the PC, and its not a preloaded OEM system (in which case it would not be asking for the CD), it means that you do not have a legitimate copy of the operating system. Its the same status as a pirated version.

Its a severe limitation for ever installing anything. You need to see if you can get hold of a legit copy of Windows 98SE to correct that.

Thank you kiwiguy......but how come my old cam worked like a week ago?

And also, since you said no stupid questions.....here goes. When I click on my cam program icon, under 'file' it tells you "unable to set video capture hardware". But it allows you to select the video capture device, and a size.
What does this mean? and
How do you do it?

Could this be my problem???
