Problem: After installing Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, the built in camera output is upside down / inverted.
Reason: This is a well known problem with Asus laptop. It seems that the generic camera driver in Windows 7 is not compatible with Asus' camera. I have here an Asus K501J series laptop and when I view my camera in Yahoo Messenger, the output is upside down.
Solution: Download the updated driver from Asus support site. Search for your laptop model, and try every camera driver listed. There are usually 4 camera drivers listed/available. So, if the first did not work, try the next one.
Solution 2: Edit Windows Registry. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Sunplus SPUVCb\VIDEOPROCAMP. Change VFlip value to 1.
Solution 3: If you're having problems in downloading your webcam driver, download and install ManyCam. This program is free and can flip and rotate your camera output. Also works with Gtalk, Skype, and other programs.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much. After days of calling asus, and them running me through programs, and drivers that didn't work, they wanted me to send my laptop in and told me that it MUST be broken. I tried the other drivers like you said, and the fourth one installed correctly, and flipped my cam. You're awesome!
