    Need a little help with this.

    After my two year old Sager 5793 died three months after the nasty fall it suffered, I moved onto a Barebone from SVC, like a couple other folks here. I've managed to get everything to work just dandy, except for this Webcam. I'm still unable to get the Webcam to work on this Barebone. It worked fine on the original body from Xoticpc with the Bisoncam software and driver, but nothing seems to work on this machine. It registers as USB 2.0 in Devices and Printers and Windows Update can't seem to find anything for it.

    Has anyone else been able to get it to work? I'd really like to have this thing functioning.

    Thanks!

    try this driver, it's what I'm using. The application (VideoView) generates a registry error when you run it, but it is not necessary and the camera works fine.
