- Hi
my webcam (BisonCam) is not recognised (shown with a yellow question-mark in the instaler assistant).
It seems that Ihave not the driver for it.
When I tried to instal the one you give in the previous post, it says : "this programme requieres windows NT 6.0.5744". I have windows XP-SP2.
May you give me an url for downloading directly the driver.
Could you tell me too if it is a BIOS problem?
Best regards

- Also works with Asus R2H ! Thanks!
- What if it does not work ? I tried your solution and it helped me get rid of error messages when lauching any app using the camera ; but the screen remains black.
Any idea ?
Thanks ! - I used a similar solution as above, but merged the OV7660-D.reg file from the ASUS Windows2K/XP drivers instead, which also worked.
Hello
I did follow your advice, but when the webcam capture the video screen stay black.
Does a new driver exist now ?
Thanks for your advice
Hi,
is it the same link and .reg file for Windows XP SP2?
If not, can you post a new link please?
Thanks
- Just download the driver package from ASUS's website for your notebook model. I grabbed the ones for the Z83V if you want the exact same ones I used. And yes, its the same one for XP SP2.
Hi guys,
I have followed that procedures and still not having it working. Before that modifications my Cam had its light turned on but I only got a gray screen, but after that, not even the light turned on.
My notebook is an Acer Aspire 5102WLMi, AMD Turion 64 x2 TL50, ATI Radeon Xpress X1100, 2 GB RAM.
Any clues?
wonted driver
I all so have a black webcam window on my Acer aspire 5100 does any one have the naswer on how to fix this particular problem?
- I Vincenzo i have a problem with the wireless card.
You have a Intentel 2200? Work fine?
My card don' work and after driver installation are see Intel3945.... - OK
The script and BisonCam app above got the thing working but it is only 4 fps and no sound.
Anything else I should try ?
Running Vista Ultimate on a Asus A6Km ~ 2g Ram If someone is looking for drivers for OrbiCam for Winndows 64bit edition then should see this: ftp://ftp.acer.pl/notebook/aspire_3100/vista/Drivers/
And if you need drivers for an Aspire 5102, they are here:
ftp://ftp.acer.pl/notebook/aspire_5100/vista/Drivers/
Also you can find applications for Windows Vista 32-bits on Acer Aspire 5102 here:
ftp://ftp.acer.pl/notebook/aspire_5100/vista/Applications/
But my Cam still mirroring the images. I have changed the AgcGain from 0 to 1 and nothing. Same thing Anyone got it right?

Having the exact same issue with the same notebook, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Hi Cobra,
problem solved. You just need to download the drivers and applications from:
ftp://ftp.acer.pl/notebook/aspire_5100/vista/Drivers/
ftp://ftp.acer.pl/notebook/aspire_5100/vista/Applications/
After you install them your image will be mirrored, so I have solved this by MSN Live Messenger Cam Configurations -> Flip Image Horizontaly.
Done, everything working just fine.
I have found drivers for my notebook which is Clevo based here:
http://www.clevo.com.tw/download/ftpOut.asp?Lmodel=M57xU<ype=9&submit=+GO

I am using VECTRON laptop with bisoncam, its working but when I'm in messenger the cam is inverted.
I followed the instruction for regedit "the registry key "AgcGainType" from 0 to 1, but the screen became black.
Please help me.
I was for a few month looking how to make it work, but I could yesterday.
Thanks to everyone for your help in making my ASUS w5ae work with windows vista.
The only thing I can do is run Aero, but everything is working OK.
I did this:
Install windows XP drivers, it says something went wrong and he couldnt install the bison camera.
Then I installed every attached file as the backup.log described (create folders and copy files) and when I restart my windows started to search for new hardware and worked perfectly.
I hope this works for everyone,
I put the files on my office webpage:
http://www.agriliance.cl/vista.htm
The only thing I know for sure is that I wont buy any other asus notebook again, I cant beleive they dont give us support.
Have a nice day,
Matias
I've been working with XP drivers for a few days without any problem. The only thing I can't do is go to advanced settings, when I click them messenger crashes.
I dont know if someone can help me with that.

- Hi ronak20332,
this is the most helpful information i have seen on the issue with the bison camera on asus computers. I am still waiting for information from ASUS. I have tried this mod to the registry and the information was added to the existing information but still it doesn't work. I am using XP so does the same apply or does the text have to be a bit different?
Would appreciate any help. I am having the same problem with the windows update version of the bisoncam, NB Pro driver.... Im actually rather pissed that microsoft would release an update for the cam without testing it first... anyways it causes msn to freeze and causes windows vista home Premium to crash... sadly enough the only webcam driver i can find that works... isnt for microsoft its for linux and its the m560x bisoncam driver off source forge. boots fine with slackware. I do hope microsoft actually reads these forums and corrects the driver they released in windows update. Its silly that my driver will work on slackware and not windows vista... anyways I have a ASUS A6J laptop running windows vista home premium upgrade.
Following are specs for my laptop's chipset... maybe some devloper will take pitty on all of us and code a new driver lol

I was facing the same problem on various laptops (MSI, Sony, Acer) and I just found a "solution" by accident:
I have UNINSTALLED SLD codec pack (that I always install on all my machines!) and after a reboot WLM just works fine with the webcam...
Don't ask me why....
Hope this helps
