    I've been looking through the forums and i can't find something related to this.
    I've just got my new G1S yesterday, and i haven't been able to install the webcam driver, i've already tried all the webcams in this thread and the
    installation cd and all of them behave the same way:
    • Do you want to install ASUS 1.3M WebCam Driver?
    • Install Failed! ASUS 1.3M WebCam
    i don't know what else to try.
    The device manager shows the webcam as: USB2.0 1.3M UVC WebCam
    Ubication: 0000.001a.0007.001.000.000.000.000.000
    Hardware ID: USB\VID_04F2&PID_B012&REV_0346&MI_00
    USB\VID_04F2&PID_B012&MI_00

    Would it be possible that it's defective?

    I'm running Vista 32 bits, i've noticed that the asus webpage regarding G1S doesn't have a driver for the webcam, and only G1 has.

    The driver in the cd is the one of the listed on the drivers thread. Do you have any extra info about that colby driver?

    well the laptop isn't working yet, i've found from reading the launcher on the driver (camera/silent.ini) that my webcam correspond to:
    [VID_04F2&PID_B012]
    Class=USB
    Vista=CHICONY\2KSETUP.EXE 2ksetup.ini

    based on the pid. But if i ron 2ksetup it doesn't do anything but throw the error.

    Could it be that the problem is related to my vista being in spanish?
