I wanna cheap webcam that works with vista

I've just opened my previously unused PC Camera and tried to install it, only to be informed that the drivers don't work and that they wont be making them (sadly I've had it too long to return to argos).

I then same day had an offer from an ink cartridge place offering a camera for £6, but when I researched the camera on amazon, it seems that the drivers only work for XP on that one two.

Anyone know of any

    The one I have is just called "PC camera" on the box but the model number is SN9C102.

    If you were wondering about the offer it is here http://www.inkclub.com/index.asp?CtryNo=826&LangNo=1 (note if you were wondering because you are thinking about buying I strongly recommend going through quidco - you get £9 cashback if you are a new customer)

    It seems that you webcam does not have any vista drivers but you could try this for another one in their range that does.

    http://www.sonix.com.tw/sonix/product.do?p=SN9C120

    But on reflection why not go for that one on the link.

    It is usb so should just plug and play!

    thanks
