How to get device driver for Truevision HD camera? Video has no color, only black and white shades.

[Janey99]

I've had the PC for a few years (originally on Windows 8 but now updated to Windows 10)  but only now I want to start using the camera. I found it only takes black-and-white videos, no color. There are various suggestions for this problem in this forum and elsewhere on the web, but none of them work for me. I found a suggestion to update the device driver; unfortunately I can't find the page with that suggestion again, but anyway, the link that it gave for the new device driver was broken. When I tell windows to update the device driver, it says it can't find a better one but the manufacturer might have one. So I went to the HP page for device drivers and told it my serial number, and it came up with a list of device drivers, but none of them was for the camera. This doesn't make sense, the PC does have a camera and it has a device driver, so surely there should be one shown (even if it was only the one I already have, surely it should be listed?) I can only suppose that the site is confused about what devices come with my serial number. So, how can I find a suitable Windows 10 device driver for the truevision HD camera? (I suppose other suggestions for dealing with the monochrome issue might be helpful, though I've already tried the ones that I found in this forum, but clearly there should be a device driver so I really want to know how to find that anyway).
