Use of Creative WebCam Instant in Windows 10

If you have a Creative Webcam Instant that you would like to use with Windows 10, the driver in this link worked for me:

http://download.webcamtests.com/drivers/vendors/Creative/VF-0040/Windows-x64.zip


The steps I followed were:

1. Connected the camera to the computer.

2. The device was apparently set by Windows 10, but didn't work.

3. I downloaded the driver from the link, and extracted the files.

4. I went to Windows Search, "Device Manager", and looked for the camera, which showed an installation error.

5. I made right.click, "Update driver", and then "Browse my computer for files"

6. I selected the folder where I had extracted the driver files in 3. and voilà!

7. In Skype, if I go to camera settings, I have two cameras "Creative Webcam Instant (VFW)" and "Creative Webcam Instant". The first one doesn't seem to work, but the seconds works perfectly.
