    Hey there!
    All of a sudden after a format, i could no longer install any of the webcam drivers (vista x86). It just tells me "Error" when trying to install them.. I've tried all of them but i know mine is the Chirony, which doesnt work either..
    whats wrong :S?

    and btw, there's also some "Unknown Device" in my device manager.. I think it has something to do with realtek, and i read somewhere how to "install" it, by just clicking on it and set it to auto search for drivers.. that doesnt work eiter.. whats wrong?

    (and no, formatting wont help)


    thanks

    IMHO you should have to try ASUS utilities. They might have drivers for webcam and fingerprint reader (and some others you need too)

    Make sure you apply right driver to a device.
    Try to google forum what driver for what device is

    yeah those drivers are old and windows installs newer ones but they arent for asus notebooks. go on to support.asus.com and download all the cam drivers. there are different ones for different cameras and since you dont have the drivers installed to be able to tell you should try all of them to see which ones give you the best quality and what not.
