Hey, I'm running El Capitain and have been using this webcam for years...

https://us.macally.com/products/MEGACAM

Nothin special but does what I need. Anyhow, I installed bootcamp and it no longer works. It is showing up in system report as the following:

Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venus):



Product ID: 0x3420

Vendor ID: 0x0ac8 (Z-Star Microelectronics Corporation)

Version: 1.00

Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec

Manufacturer: Vimicro

Location ID: 0xfd530000 / 6

Current Available (mA): 1000

Current Required (mA): 256

Extra Operating Current (mA): 0

I tried going into bootcamp to uninstall the driver but it didn't seem to help and macally support has been unresponsive. Any thoughts on how I could troubleshoot this?

Thanks.
