I have read all the related threads in the forum and spent three days googleing for solutions but i can not get the bisoncam to work.
bisoncam shows up in dev mgr as corrupted driver code 39. i can turn the cams power on and off with fn f10 no problem but the drivers are not working.
i have tried every possible way to uninstall and reinstall the bisoncam software/drivers package with the original drivers from the Cd that came with the notebook and also with the drivers downloaded from sagernotebooks. both are the same, i only bought this laptop a couple of months ago but only recently did an install.
drivers release notes are dated 3/30/07 and are v. 6.3264.0.02.1. (though dev mgr lists the drivers when installed as 10/24/06 v. 6.32.0.2) OS is XP pro sp2. i have followed the instructions as to the driver install order to the letter and have also uninstalled and reinstalled them all multiple times from chipset on down. i've even unpacked the drivers from the cab files manually and tried to install the drivers that way...no love there either.
at no point has the camera shown any sign of life, i always get the "turn on the camera power" message when opening bisoncam software. nor is there any sign of the cam in explorer. bisoncam IS listed under USB root hub as receiving power so it does seem to be connected internally.
there are also a number of BDA and codec listed in dev mgr under sound/vid/controllers as broken when the cam software is installed but they disappear when the software is removed.
btw: there are two sets of drivers install packages under 02Camera, D-max and Sertek. the driver install cd defaults to the Sertek bisoncam for setup and i have installed the same from the downloaded drivers. D-max does not seem to install drivers, only software and fails to do anything installed alone or in conjunction with the sertek drivers package. i know, i have tried many combinations many many times so far out of desperation to try and get this thing to work.
please, i need help with this.
