Instructions / Discussion

Ever lose the driver for that orphan webcam or other USB device? Can't even find who made the darned thing? This utility may be able to help.

The input USB device id is of the form:

USB\VID_####&PID_####\remainder

where the # characters are hex digits.

Example:

USBVID_0C45&PID_60055&337E94B&0&1

Windows: After plugging in your device, open the Windows Device Manager, select the USB device, and open its Properties dialog. Select the Details tab, and record the Device Instance Id. Enter this value into the input field for this utility. Then press "Go!" If in the database, this utility will print the vendor name and product id, so you can try to track down any downloadable drivers from the vendor website.
