The original disk wont work for Windows 10 or 11.  You need to do a 2 step driver install. I have found if you install the 5.1 driver then uninstall and leave the driver files behind and install the 2.0 driver it works. Apparently the 2.0 driver installs two devices that the camera needs to be able to function but the 2.0 driver by itself doesn't work.  There is apparently something in the 5.1 driver that solves the issue but the 5.1 driver does not install all of the necessary devices by itself.  Yeah i know really screwy but it works.  Although i have had issues on my ASUS tablet with it being correctly recognized by my USB ports.  Something about the USB driver on that machine i haven't figured out yet is causing the issue because it used to work just fine.  It works fine on every other machine i have so i know it isn't the driver.  The tablet also has Win 10 and my desktop is Win 11 and it works there.  Here is a link to my OneDrive folder where i have zipped up both drivers for you.  Install the 5.1 driver first, uninstall it but be sure to leave the driver files itself then install the 2.0 driver.  Make sure it sees the device in USB section of the device manager.  You will need to show hidden files to see the other driver.  The IO driver will be visible but the Base driver is hidden.  If both are there it should work.

That's the 2.0 driver included in the zip file.
