    Hello :)

    I bought myself a Zepto 6625WD back in May, and have overall been satisfied with the computer.

    I'm trying out Windows XP Professional atm (32bit, yay!) - but I can't get the webcam driver to work. If I go to the device manager, under the "BisonCam, NB Pro" device, it says: "Windows can't load the device driver for the hardware. The driver may be damaged or missing (Code 39)" (translated from danish, may be wrong translations :p)

    I've been searching the net for a solution, but most of results was just random fixes, where you click here and there, and then it maybe works, without you knowing what really fixed the whole thing. I became desperate enough to try them out, but they didn't help at all.

    So.. can anyone help me with this?

    CHeck the little swith thing to the right of the webcam, put it down if it aint there yet, I remember this causing some random stuff to happen with the webcam if it was up (wich makes absolutely no sense to have a switch like that :confused:).
    Anyhow try it and remember to press the webcam button so its orange.

    If it still doesnt want to work, uninstall the driver, reboot, switch on the camera, and then install the driver.
