Hey guys, i have got a VAIO EH18FG and has Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Arcsoft Web Companion 4 came with it and though it is a pretty fun software to use but whatever image it captures is flipped..i mean my right hand is the left hand and my left hand is the right hand in the image..i hope you understand my point :D Also during skype the same problem occurs. I think this is a problem akin to windows only because i also saw this problem on my cousin's Lenovo Think Pad.

On my ASUS TF the rear camera is in the right opreintation right on right and left on left, but on the front camera it is fliped like yours. I think it has to do with the cameras that they use for the front capture.

Hmmmm..let me try the web cam on MAC OS X and will tell u in a while that whether its a windows fault or manufacturing fault!

Okay..i just checked it on MAC OS X Lion and the image is perfectly okay that is that its not flipped like in Windows...Why microsoft why? :(

microsoft just sucks - and then a whole other sentence of nonsense...

Please, explain to me how Microsoft are to blame here?

1) You will have flipped the image in the control panel

2) Microsoft don't write the driver

1) Can you point me exactly that where can i find the option?

2) Dude dont tell me that..LOL..OS X which doesnt supports Sony VAIO of course can show the image perfectly (facetime, photobooth, skype all work perfectly)..but our own windows for whom even drivers were written fails to show the image/video properly..what a shame...

It is the Arcsoft Web Companion software.... if you download anyother capture software or even use video calling you can see that it is the software and not microsoft or the drivers.... and yes I have a sony with the same software.... and also to get normal viewing... go into settings (Ctrl+T) and click option "Show Mirrored Video in the Preview Area"

Glad you managed to fix it. Well, sort of... in my opinion, anyone who posts something like the posts above is beyond reason and doesn't deserve the time of kind individuals such as Jester124.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
