    Hi, I've had this problem since I got my Sager early this year and now I know the reason that is causing it, but not the solution.

    After I make a clean install of Windows (Vista or 7) the camera works flawlessly. But if I install in dual-boot any linux distribution, then the camera stops working in Windows, even after reinstalling the latest drivers and software. After that, the only solution I have found is formatting the laptop and install all over again.

    Does anyone have an idea of a possible solution to this problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated :).

    P.D. Te BisconCam software doesn't detect any problem, but no image is displayed. (and by the way, I do have my camera activated with Fn+F10)
