haha, yeah my girlfriends mom got suckered into buying a mustek camera. Good idea, but poorly engineered. I don't recall what model it is though, but the pic on their site looks like the same camera. funny.
The camera does come with its own install disk, that has everything you need. I remember not having to download any additional programs.
Looks like the driver you need is here:

the software that they include on the disc i think includes a utility for using the camera as a webcam. I would just try installing everything that the disc recommends, then seeing what happens.
I know this doesn't help the "homo ass message" but its a start.
If you dont have that disc, I'm sure I could image the disc I have and post it somewhere. I'm 99% sure your camera is the same one my gf's mom has.
