    The camera of my Z96J gets inverted after some minutes using it. The image appears fine at the beginning but then, suddenly gets upside down.
    I updated the drivers, but there wasn't any improvement.
    Any advice?
    Thanks a lot.

    Well you know its software related. From what i remember there was actually a way to make it record upside down. Was it always like this? first time i read of this. Never seen it before. CongraTS! you are unique. Or maybee others who have seen this just dont post. How did you install the driver? Have you tried removing the driver all together then installing it again? You should install it by browsing for the intall.bat in the drivers cd. do not install it from the autorun menu

    Thanks, I installed the drivers from scratch, from setup.bat, but it didn't work. The camera started right but then inverted after a minute or so. This have been happening since I got the PC.
    The camera is pretty simple and I don't have any specific program for it, so I can't control things like the orientation, the brightness, etc.
    This camera is a Bison, and the drivers from Asus are for W2K, the win xp has updated drivers, but the result is the same.
    I'm surprise that I'm the first one with this issue. I wonder if it has anything to do with the bios. I have a core 2 duo running with the bios for it, but I haven't update it farther, like to eliminate the graininess issue.
    Thanks again.
