    Hey guys, I have some questions about the webcam attached to my Sager. Is it possible to use a different program to take pictures and movies using the webcam other than the BisonCam software? Or would uninstalling BisonCam result is loss of driver and not work?

    Basically I'd like to use a program that runs hidden and will capture movie data with a hotkey while hidden. Is there such a program? If there is, is it necessary to uninstall BisonCam software?

    Thanks!

    I have this same question and a related question. Is it possible to reprogram the hotkeys somehow? I know you can't install the hotkey app if you want to use the camera, but is there some kind of hack anyone knows of for Windows XP? Thanks!

    No need to uninstall Bisoncam. The drivers loaded with the laptop will talk to every program I've tried with them. Talk with the mfg of the software you bought to check compatibility, but like I said, I've never had a hiccup yet.

    Which program are you using? I'm new to this game so I have no idea what program you're referring to. What is the category?
