If you can't find the right drivers manually I would recommend just getting a software program that can do it for you. There is a program I use which will find drivers for just about all hardware devices. The best part is it takes a snapshot of your system specifications and matches the right driver to go with it.

creative web cam driver for window xp
vf0040
Drivers for the Creative WebCam Live! Pro webcam (model VF0080) can be found on Creative's website at the link in the Related Links section below.
you can still get this software from creative labs website. click on support and web cams scroll to the bottom of the page and look for where it says "if your cam not listed here click here" and it will take you to discontinued model page. then look for your model. have the same cam and just found the software there.
I recommend you a simple software which meets you basic needs. Webcam Capture Studio is a webcam recorder software, it simulates a virtual webcam, when you have a Skype chat just do some settings. You can Google it or cope the URL here, and then paste it in your address bar.
Your webcam should have come with it's own software. If it didn't, then follow the instructions that came with it. If you don't have them, then try searching the internet for that specific webcam..

I went with EyeSpyFX's webcam software. It's worked really well so far. I'm using WebcamXP webcam software, and it's been great.
The effects are provided by the software being used by the webcam. With the right software any webcam will produce special effects
