    I just installed some updates via the Windows Update site. Anyway, one of the updates was for the webcam on my W7J. When I activated it, I noticed that the image generated was upside down. Anyone know how I can flip it? I can't seem to find any kind of utility associated with the webcam. Or is my only choice to roll back the driver and reinstall the one of the driver disc? Is the driver available on ASUS' site? I can't seem to find it. I'm out of the country on business and would like to remedy this issue so that I can use the webcam feature in messenger. Thanks in advance.

    I have done the same thing. Just reinstall the ASUS driver for the webcam, and it will all be fine.

    Yeah, use Asus' driver.. the one windows wants to install is for the camera itself, but due to it's location, the camera is twisted sort of upside down from where it's "supposed to be".... Never trust the windows updates that have to do with very specific things like that... just for future reference.

    Thanks. I just rolled back the driver in device manager. All is well now.
