Reboot the laptop and the software should ID the device and apply the correct driver OR Go to this site and redownload the driver for the webcam: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Versatile_Performance/X55A/#download

1. Download the latest Chicony (or Suyin) driver for Windows 7. Check here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Camera&p=3&os=)

If still this does not work, try this:

Once you already installed the driver, go to start menu click or type ASUS lifeframe then open it.

have you tried pressing Fn+V keys? V key has a camera icon and when Fn key is pressed together with it, Asus lifeFrame utility opens. Only then your webcam will be activated. Enjoy!

Hi kathy_handra,

You can turn on and off the ASUS virtual camera by pressing the FN+V. The Virtual camera uses software called ASUS lifeframe. You can locate and launch it by looking under the ASUS utility group of Icons for Lifeframe. When you open the application it is usually set to video mode. So, to switch it to camera click on the camera icon which is located at the lower left circular menu. To locate the photos, you will find them in your document folder [Documents\ASUS\LifeFrame\Image].

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

problem solved =)

Here is the support page for your laptop. Unfortunately, there are 10 different camera drivers. http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us. You did not state Windows you are using and entering that info into the page may narrow things down a bit. In my Asus there are 3 programs for you camera. The virtual camera seems to have to be turned on in order for it to work in the other programs. Hope this helps.
