This driver at least stops the crashing, but it gives a black picture UNTIL you do what this guy said on Technet for some other ASUS notebook:
Hi,
I finally got my bisoncam to work in Vista..
Just install the drivers from the link given above and add the following to your windows registry.
If u'r unsure how to add it to the registry, just copy and paste the code below in a text file and rename it as .reg
Double click the reg file to add the entries into the registry..
Hope this Helps.....

After you modify or add all this stuff in your registry and reboot Voila - it works.

Enjoy - perhaps ASUS people can just nick these settings and make an installer?
