    Hello everybody,

    First of all sorry for my English, hope it would be undrestandable :)

    After digging in forum and net, decided to create the thread because found nothing.

    My Cristal Eye does not work neither with Bison driver and software nor with Suyin. I could say even more that camera is NOT detected by Device Manager. Wierd....
    From the beginning it was fine I managed to video skype with my family couple of times.
    Another day I went to skype , received the message "camera is not found".
    Great :( I reinstalled the driver and soft (it was Bison), and managed to return camera to the life......for once.
    I went to sleep, switched off the computer. Next day I tried to use camera, but the same message "camera is not found". Again reinstallation of drivers and software, sutting down, switching on.... blah,blah,blah, but this time the camera is not functioning at all.

    Tricks with folder Pictures of course does not help.
    Device manager does not contain any Imaging device.
    Rescaning the system for new PnP device does leads to nothing.
    I tried to install new hardvare manually, pointing the device manager to the foldres with inf files, but again no success.
    I even deleted all USB devices and restart Vista hoping it will be suddenly discovered, but not.....

    any ideas, suggestions.....? Thanks in advance
