    I bought np8690 with 5870 like last December. And I just noticed that my Bison Cam is not working properly on skype. The video setting on skype won't default Bison Cam as my default webcam (like I try to save it as my default but it won't save for some reason). Bison Cam on its own works perfectly and I have the driver that sager's website have on their driver's page (6.96 something). So I was wondering anyone have the same problem as me? And how do you fix it? THX in advance

    user manual says cam has to be turned on Fn + F10 before loading the drivers.
    if thats how you done it then its something else.

    This is the screenshot of my skype setting:

    As you can see, skype detects my bisoncam but when I select it and press save, it actually didn't save it... Also when I choose bisoncam, the video works perfectly, I just couldn't save it as my default.

    the same for me on my d900f. i have tried all the drivers for my cam still no luck. but i´m using the 4.2 version and it saves my cam and its working like it should. i have problems in 5.0 beta...skype wont find my microphone(ive set it manually but it´s not as good as in 4.2) and it wont find my cam but when i use the camera call it loads the cam. so i think it´s only the problem of the beta version. i have no problems using 4.2.
