Load drivers by changing USB Device VID and PID












0















My USB 2.0 Device is listed as PC Camera under the "Device description" of Device Manager. Its Hardware Ids are "USBVID_0458&PID_2029&REV_0000&MI_00" and "USBVID_0458&PID_2029&MI_00".



I believe it is a simple USB camera. However, the combination of VID and PID of the device prevents USB camera drivers from loading. Searching Google for the VID and PID does not yield any useful results.



I have tried looking at spoofing or modifying the VID and PID of the device to other common VIDs and PIDs of USB cameras, to no avail.



Ultimately, I would like to get this USB camera device working, which means that it acts as a webcam. The Windows 10 Camera app should be able to display whatever the USB Camera device is pointed at.
