Hi to all, it's been a while since my last post, but hey all on IT jobs know that are times when we don't want to see another computer at home, jeje.
Last week a friend of the office updated his computer from a XP to win Vista, all runs great except that his webcam a HP PG088AA has no support for vista, he contacted HP guys but guess what, they just said, sorry this hardware has no driver or support for vista.
So... I decided to try generating a new driver based from xp driver, what I did was this:
1. Download the PG088AA driver for windows XP
2. Installed in a virtual pc with Win XP Pro
3. Check that was installed correctly
4. Extract the driver files with a Driver Backup Software
5. Modify some lines from INF file
6. Test it on my Vista Laptop
7. Final test of PG088AA in Vista
So I decided to post the drive, remember when windows require to find the driver select manually the folder with the driver and if you have any warnings just click on accept.
You can download it here

Amigos, la semana pasada un compañero de la oficina actualizo su computadora de XP a Vista, todo funciono de maravilla excepto por una cosa, su webcam usb PG088AA ya no tiene drivers para vista.
El contacto a las personas de HP y su unica respuesta fue, ese hardware no tiene ni tendra soporte para windows Vista. Asi que decidi ayudarlo tratando de crear un nuevo driver a partir del de XP.
Cuando conecten el dispositivo en Vista diganle que uds van a seleccionar la ruta y si les da alguna advertencia denle aceptar o continuar.
el driver lo pueden descargar aqui
