    Right, iv noticed a nice little bug, may be construction fault or driver, but anyway, Iv had 2 bluescreens of death (actually even Vista called it bluescreen, it said
    :D)
    and im pretty shure its the camera, cos Iv got both after putting on the camera trough the hardware switch. The camera isnt coming on sometimes and ya the bluescreens. I dont remember what name the object had that caused the second bluescreen but any other 6625wd owner had any likely problem?

    my only prob with the cam is the the ****ty bisoncam software and that when I press the camera button the camera viewfinder doesnt open up, I have to manually click on the bisoncam software icon after turning on the cam

    I used to have BSOD using the camera but as of late it has gone away, what improved it I do not know.

    I don't think bisoncam is meant to launch on press cam button as only one app can use cam at a time. Using ISPQ is fine as is using CoffeeCup's WebCam in surveillance mode.
    BisonCam doesn't have many features and it records sound very faintly evn when boosting mic in.
