    wow i had my 5760 for about a week now and i just noticed the webcam, :) Well i mean i knew it was there when i bought the system, but when it came in i was so excited about the go7900gtx i totally forgot about the webcam. So now i got the driver and such installed, what program do ppl use to record a video or something. I know i can chat in MSN or AIM or Yahoo, but a software like logitech that allows you to take pics or record videos.

    There should be Bison Cam software already on the computer that allows you to use the video camera. It also works with MSN messenger and a bunch of other apps - pretty neat, once you start using it.

    for some reason you can't take still images with it though.

    That is correct, it would be with the bundled CD's included with your laptop. You can also download from sagernotebook.com

    I'm using Acer Aspire 9300. Before I had Windows XP my Bison webcam was working fine, but after I installed Vista I don't know how to make it work again - specially with Skype.
    Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

    I just bought an Acer and my web cam works. So I would go to the Acer site and check out the webcam drivers. I imagine I have the same web cam manufactiure as you do. The biggest driver problems with Vista was Web Cams and card readers.

    Please don't double post, it's against the forum rules.
