    Cross post from the m57ru thread. Not sure if anyone visits frequently anymore.

    I bought this computer mid-2008, and installed win7 about 4 years ago. It was a huge pain to find compatible drivers back then but I found enough to meet my needs, albeit some of the more insignificant hardware hasn't been used. More recently, I have reinstalled win7 and am having a terrible time, yet again, with the drivers. I believe I was able to get some vista drivers to work. I tried all webcam drivers on the clevo site for this model but none have worked for me. Can anyone help me out with this issue? Am I better off reinstalling Vista and using the driver disk (which is absolutely no help to me with this newer OS)?

    Someone in the m57ru thread mentioned that they had all of the win7 drivers for this model. I was not able to contact this user.

    I had one of those and I distinctly remember having everything working in Win7. In fact, I also had everything working in Win8.

    Did you try the drivers from Clevo? CLEVO - Download

    Yes, I tried this but the drivers were only up to vista.

    I've tried every vista driver I could find for the webcam, and also the win7 non-bison cam drivers. Still nothing.

    Fn+F10, yes, nothing.
