It sounds a lot like this one I found on Ebuyer, Zentium 1.3 MegaPixel Webcam With 6x LED Lights - USB which also looks remarkably like dozens of others with identical descriptions but different brand names.

I went searching the net for a Puond driver and even after 45 minutes I`d only found post after post of people complaining they couldn`t get the driver. French website, Chinese websites, all sorts to give the google translator a workout but none of them were resolved apart from people saying check the manufacturer website which didn`t have a link to them for those that tried, and two Chinese email addresses for the manufacturer.

No one mentioned whether they actually had any luck emailing them but I suspect not as they didn`t post the reply to help anyone else resolve the same problem. Btw, that Zentium one is said to be a chinese import too.

I usually download a driver before I buy anything that needs one given the way some places seem to make a complete mess of providing them, or only provide one that upgrades if you have a completely working original disk to install the old version first which is a bit stupid. I run it in a Virtual PC to see if it asks for the original disk or otherwise fails to install for any reason other than the VPC doesnt support USB.

Sorry I don`t have better news for you but I did try. Someone on driverguide suggested opening the camera to say which chipset it was before asking about a driver then locked the post as it was in the wrong forum. The person involved in that post doesn`t seem to have replied elsewhere as far as I can tell.

My only suggestion would be to try to copy the contents of the disk using another computer to a usb drive so that you can take it home and use it yourself. Finding it on the web seems a complete waste of time given how many have tried it previously and failed.
