I follow the instruction, and i can’t fix the problem with my webcam. I have a Asus Z96Js (BisonCan 5602), and after merge the reg file still appear the grey square in preview windows.
What recommend you?

Thanks!

I have the same problem! The reg changes made it see the camera, but I’m upside down and the vertical flip option is not in the menu. Just has check boxes for “Vertical” “Horizontal” I tried checking them in all combinations and no affect. I don’t like hanging upside down like a bat, any help would be appreciated.

Brian, there should be a Rotation Option and you need to do that.

Eagle 1, What kind of Camera does it have? Are you sure its Bison Cam?

If you need further assistance, please go to http://www.techforums.info

I remember very well that in my XP when the camera is in use, the screen that comes up is BisonCap.

One more info that could assist anyone to help me is that the ‘Bisncap’ icon that shows on the desktop then says ‘Bs350u2′

Hi Nish,

I’m using a NEO EMPRIVA 540NVi notebook. It runs on Vista. The webcam appears to work fine when I open it using the BisonCam shortcut. However, when I open it through Yahoo Messenger, my image is upside down. All the options on the settings are not working. I’ve checked and unchecked the vertical and horizontal options, but the output remained upside down. Also, when I try the options using the BisonCam shortcut, checking the vertical option also did not change the orientation of the image output.

Hoping to get your help.

Thanks for the prompt repy. I already tried it before. Checking/unchecking the vertical/horizontal options did not effect a change on the inverted image.

Hi Nish,

I tried reinstalling the Yahoo! Messenger. I still get the upside-down webcam output. I also downloaded and installed the MSN Live Messenger. The webcam output was also upside-down. I tried going through the camera settings (on the MSN messenger) but as soon as I click on the settings button, the MSN messenger shuts down.

This is really frustrating. Is it possible that the device installation was faulty? I bought my laptop just over a month ago. Oh yeah, the camera is indeed BisonCam, NB Pro (version 6.32.0.1). I am also concerned that the camera has no options for taking still pictures i.e. like a camera would normally do. It can only record video on AVI format.

I tried installing a cam driver I got from the NEO website. It was not labelled for the specific laptop model I have but I tried anyway. My laptop crashed three times whenever I tried to open the webcam. I uninstalled and re installed again. The last re-installation was I think okay because I was already able to open the camera without crashing the computer. I tried it on Yahoo! Messenger, and the output was already normal. One problem still remains though, there are no options for taking still pictures. Anyway, I am happier now that the output orientation is not upside down. So, thanks for the suggestions

i have a problem with my webcam (bisoncam) also, when i opened my yahoo messenger my cam was inverted, please help thanks

hi guys have same problem, regarding comment number 27 what is the NEO website please?

Hey Nish,
I uninstalled the windows update driver, installed the driver you originally recommended and then applied the .reg file… I accidentally saved and applied the .reg code as an ANSI file (but after reading the windows site, i believe i revered this by typing a - in front of the 3 reg key’s)… then i saved it as a .reg unicode file and applied it… I have an Asus s96j and the camera light is green but the camera itself is just a black screen.. under both bisconcam application (the device is bisoncam) and under AIM and YAHOO messengers… any ideas on where to go from here? 3 hours of tinkering is leaving me utterly frustrated… thanks

i manage to ge the version to 6.32.0.2 and a shortcut to the desktop but the capture window is only showing black, tried to fix it with the “options” tab but nothing worked

have any idea what to do Nish?

cleenex, from where did you obtain the driver version 6.32.0.2 pls?

Hi,

I finally managed to get the Bison Cam working with the above instructions but… The image is a bit blurry and black/white, in XP image was sharp and in colour. Any ideas to correct this ?

Hello Nish,

Thanks for the quick reply. Perhaps I was unclear, the image has no colour information. As if the camera wouldn´t provide RGB-image at all (image looks like an infra-red image, if you know what I mean). I think the problem lies in the registry settings, the problem is I don´t know which values to change and to which direction. Third party software can´t correct the image. Do you have any ideas ?

Thank you so much! it’s finally working after 4 months of neglecting trying to fix it much appreciative Nish

I had a problem installing the BisonCam Driver on my Laptop running Windows XP, The XP driver didn’t work at all and I expected that you can help me.
thanks.

Thank’s a lot, It’s make my bisoncam running now.

Just a quick note to say thanks for the information - it worked perfectly for me getting my BisonCam NB Pro working in Vista on my Asus A6Ja laptop.

Edric Try reinstalling it again and apply the Registry file, It should overwrite it.

If you have BisonCam, The driver on this post should work for you… I want you to uninstall whatever you installed, then reinstall the the driver on this page. Also, I recommend you download the .reg file from this page and use it, rather than creating your own .reg file.

By looking at the symptom, I recon it is something to do with the .reg file, It is a common issue and thus I uploaded the .reg file to eradicate this green screen issue. Hope it helps. -nv

im getting a hardwear not found message, im useing vista and my ibuypower laptop cam with the cam but it doesnt work. i tried what you said to do but doesnt seem to be working, can someone please help

Hi Filip (mesg 51),

Could you please tell us where to find the “necessary drivers” and what the “optimal configuration” is and how to do it?

BTW, I have a Lenovo 3000 v100. THe notebook came with XP and the camera was working great. I switched to Vista and the camera is all messed up. It has taken up way too much of my time. Unfortunately, the driver downloaded from this site (Nish’s site) and the registry changes did nothing! I get a blank/grey screen. The camera green-light does not turn on! This piece of junk camera just doesn’t work!

Regards,
Mahesh

i dont know why it not workin

I made all you mentioned above and:
After installing driver and rebooting - camera starts flashing when LiveCam application started, preview shows nothing and device is set correctly. Afeter applying .reg file, camera stops flashing
I reinstall driver many times, so now - I don’t know what to do.
My laptop is packard Bell Easy Note MX61 and camera is Bison WebCam of course

Regards
Aleksander

ironmaster, If I remember correctly, Asus W7J is a Vista Notebook… If you have BisonCam, I would suggest you check out the Vista Driver for ASUS A6J Series and try that Driver.

Thomas, you need to give me a bit more info!

Aleksdander, I would recommend you check HP’s site and make sure you definitely have a BisonCam!

Faud, If it says it doesn’t have the right Video Capture Hardware, it means the driver is not compatible with your Webcam, Sorry I don’t think this drive is going to work.

Hello Martin,
Is it not on MSI’s Website?

I want you to check the MSI’s Wesite at http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadindex

I do have a backed up driver of BisonCam NB Pro… I want you to try and see whether it works for you.

It can be found at http://www.nishv.com/drivers/BisonCam_XP_NB_Pro.zip

If it does work, Please get back to me so I can officially post it here.

i have sent message to before. but i hope you to tell me all the steps to have bisoncam work on my laptop in detail. i want to ask what do you mean with reboot and how to do it . my laptop is caira mr5412 .

please help me,
thank you

Good day Nish,
I just installed VISTA on my ACER Aspire 5110. As I was having the issue the same as Michael Sampson in post 17, I found this site and started trying out the ideas. The .reg file did get rid of the grey screen, but now it is black. When attempting to select the video device, nothing changes. To better help, the green light does not even come on the camera. I am sure it is as bisoncam as windows autoselected that driver, and the ACER site said the 5110 has it. The MSN freezing issue still exists, even after restarting from the BISON install and after the .reg file also. If you require more info, let me know. Thanks for any help you can give me with this.

About the BisonCam on PINK MSI, well, here’s the outcome:
CAM ON/OFF KEY ON A LAPTOP MAY NOT BE MARKED!
Here’s the story:

I gave the present (MSI pink laptop) to my girl without the cam ever working. She noticed… I admitted. Then, by the greatest of fortune, it occured to me that maybe I should try one of those programmable keys (P1 or P2). Pressed P2 - and the cam BEGAN TO WORK!!! Yipee!!!

Here’s the moral of this story - your laptop may have a key that toggles the cam on and off - BUT IT MAY AS WELL BE UNMARKED! I didn’t have any Fn+Key combination on the keyboard, and wireless key was well marked… but the cam key turned out to be the P2 (innocent name for such an important key, don’t you agree?)…

Thanx Nish, greets to all, hope I helped at least one…

P.S. The town I live in is called Nish, by the way
Nish, southern Serbia, former Yugoslavia

i have tried all of the drivers for my laptop. but still, my Bison Cap failed to work… i have downloaded the driver from clevo and installed the vista driver for my camera… still, the problem exists. please help me with this one… laptop model: M541SE Clevo Vista

Hello,
I was wondering if somebody could help me. I am able to get the BisonCam working on my computer but my programs such as yahoo and skype are not aknowledging that I even have a web cam.

Ok so I got it working with yahoo, but the screen is all black. Even when I click the BisonCam program it is also black. There is no image, can anybody help?

Hi Nish,

I have BisonCam pre installed on my laptop. It was working fine and just last week it just stopped working. I tried to turned it on using Fn+F10 but it doesn’t work. I tried to uninstall and install BisonCam driver but the same result. In Device Manager also I cannot see any imagining devices, which used to BisonCam before. When I click ‘livecam’, I get a message ‘Sorry, you have no video capture hardware’. I have Windows XP Professional O/S installed on my laptop. Can you please help and guide me what should I do now? Do you think formating my laptop would solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Sheetal - UK

I open the program and it says no video hardware. i think i have a generic webcam driver installed already and installing the file you provided didnt overwrite the generic driver file… does that make sense?

I too have an Asus Z96Js. I followed your instruction, installed the Reg. file and installed the setup for the BisonCam, NB Pro camera.

I do get an image and I’m able to record it but NO SOUND. I don’t have an external microphone but there are microphones built into the lid right next to the camera. The sound controller is the Realtek High Definition Audio with the current driver from the Asus Web site.

Prior to upgrading to Vista Ultimate the Camera did work with sound but the sound was out of sync with the video.

Any Ideas?

thanks bro
finally my web cam works perfect

Hey Nish
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi2540 latop, with bison nb pro build in cam.

I tried to follow your steps, by installing, rebooting and then runned the reg. file.

But when i open the “BisonCam” program, its says “Sorry, you have no video capture hardware”…
Any ideas?

Hi,

I have a NEO Empriva system. The webcam is not working on Yahoo Messenger. I already tried reinstalling Windows Vista Home. Same thing. I also tried reinstalling the driver posted and merging the registry. Same thing. I’m running out of options. Please! Need a big help here.

I did all that, but nothing changed at all, well the program isn’t in Danish anymore its in english but still I cant take any pictures !

why does neo q note built-in cam does not appear on the device manager? can anyone please help me.

Hi I’m having a problem with my Neo Basic laptop model using a Bisoncam built in camera. I’ve installed my driver and bisoncam software then when i launch the app. all i get is a pure blank white. By the way I’ve used Vista Starter and Windows XP, and still the same result.
