I also have the latest BIOS installed as of this writing.

I got a Microsoft Lifecam VX-5500 for Christmas, but unfortunately the video
it displays flickers horribly. Blocks just move around the image constantly.

When I installed the Lifecam software, I saw it say "verifying minimum
system requirements" so I know that the laptop has enough speed and memory to
handle the webcam.

Any advice would be appreciated; thank you.


If you're not satisfied with the product, consider a refund.

An alternate test you could try, might be to use Windows Movie Maker to
acquire a short movie segment. Using a different playback application then,
might work around any issues with the video card driver.
