    Hi, my webcam was working fine on my M570 when the OS was Windows Vista....but since upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit, the bison driver isnt doing its job. The webcam just wont launch. Instead I get a error box telling me to turn it on. But its already powered on because if I press Fn-F10, I am actually turning it off! So Im at a loss here...do I need to buy an external webcam or has anyone with a M570 laptop managed to get their built-in webcam to work on Windows 7 64-bit?

    Hi, thanks for your reply...sounds promising. But I checked the sager website for NP5793 and I dont see any drivers that are Windows 7 64 bit [i just see Win XP and Vista 32/64]. Can you please provide a direct link to the file that worked for you (or send to me via email)? Also, if I understand correctly...after you installed the driver you use Webcam Max as the app for the camera?
