It was working fine and then suddenly started playing up. Sometimes the cam doesn't show up anywhere (ie my computer, device manager etc) so I can't use it and then sometimes it appears again and I get a message pop up at the bottom right saying "this usb device can perform faster: asus webcam" and when that happens I can use it. But not for long, the cam then disappears again and I get another message show up saying "unknown usb device". I've tried all sorts to fix this, tried updating drivers, tried system restore, tried going into BIOS, tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc. The only other option that has been suggested is to reinstall windows but I don't want to do that really. Can anyone at all help?????? It's driving me mad. My laptop is a asus eee 1001ha pc, and OS is xp. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
