I have this pair of old ACT-Labs USB light guns and I can't find much about them online. Does anybody know if a Windows 7 driver exists? Are they still useful?

Useless. Sell them to me cheap.
IIRC they just show up as mice, so no special driver should be needed.
If they are VGA it should be smooth sailing. S-vid ones could be a PITA as far as finding a modern video card with that output.
Set all your light gun games to the same resolution and you should only have to calibrate each game once (in the original game service menu).

For the sake of anyone looking into Act Labs guns, avoid the old original ray guns that used a gameport input. Only fork over the money for USB ones. (They also made the ray guns in USB)
I miss mine, but have rid my house of CRTs.

Excellent! As usual I'm making things too hard.
Thanks BadMouth.
