New Device detection, 32 vs 64 bit

I have an old Creative Webcam Gen3. Under XP it required a driver and
that's the last one available. Driver is very old, basically unuasable
in todays OS's.
As a curiousity I plugged it into a couple of Win7 32 bit pcs and they
all saw the camera, downloaded a driver and it was seen as a Windows
Imaging Device and it worked. Under 64 bit Win7 it can't locate a
driver!!!
Same thing happened in last 24 hours, 64 bit Windows with a bluetooth
dongle and it's go looking yourself. 32 bit downloads a driver that
appears to work properly.
Is this a common occurence?
Are these on the catalog server ?

Appear to be, least Broadcom Bluetooth shows up as both 32 % 64 bit
versions. I'll try again as perhaps it was simply a network connection
issue. I have the driver to install 64 bit but hopefully it's not
needed.
Biggest issue is I have no bluetooth device to check it works, dongle
kinda just fell into lap so to speak.
