Sager 5793 webcam not working on Windows 7 x64

I just put win7 x64 on my 5793, I hit Fn+F10 to try to get the webcam going on skype but it doesn't work. Skype doesn't detect it and I don't see it in the device manager.

People say use default windows drivers with the camera but the camera is not using default drivers and I'm not sure how to put them on since I don't really see the camera in device manager. I thought maybe a usb device that popped up might be in but I tried to put the windows drivers on it and it did not work.

Any advice? Thank you.

 

I have the M570RU (which I believe is the same as your Sager 5793) and have the 64 bit version of Windows 7 installed. Unfortunately, the drivers for the webcam are not automatically installed by Win7 and it doesn't find them when it does the automatic search online, you have to load them yourself.

The drivers I used are for the Sertek1.3M camera, they're dated 2007/3/30, and the readme shows version 6.2164.0.02.1. This was the latest driver I found at the time, though I'm not sure where it came from. I notice that Clevo shows a more current Vista driver from 2009 on their website: CLEVO - Download but I haven't used it.

 

Is the sertek working ok? I tried to download from clevo but downloads seem to be down.

 

I have the D-Max 2.0M camera and use the sager vista driver here

 

Theriko is it possible you could do me a favour and upload the driver to upload | ifile.it ? The download is not working for me.

I really appreciate it if you can do it! Thanks!

 

Hi, try this:

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

They are for np5793 and do work on windows 7 x64.

 

Here is the D-Max 2.0M driver

 

Thanks guys.

 

hey guys im sorry this is an old post but i am having a very similar problem but unable to fix. i have x64 windows 7 and i cannot find the correct driver. i dont wanna sue bison and every time that i try D-max i am getting the registry error when trying to open. is there any conclusion on what the best webcame drive ris?

 

I use the D-Max and just dont use the webcam viewer software it comes with. I only use the cam for skype anyway.

 

thanks i got the skype video working. for awhile i was having an error that the device what not installing properly..


when i go to run video view i am getting this error "Can't open registry key!!"

is there anyway of fixing? im just looking to take pictures with my webcam is there any other good software that does that?

 

one more question, there is 3 different webcam folders in the drivers install disk. and 2 of them are bisoncam, one is non UVC and the other is just UVC. what is the difference in UVC?

 

woooot for anyone who wants a great webcam application that can take snapshots use CrazyCam 3.0 from softpedia. works amazing!!

 

Glad you found something that works and thanks for sharing.
