1)
Enable Webcam in BIOS.

When the EeePC is starting up, before POST you will see the Asus logo and a line telling you to press F2 to enter the BIOS.

Press F2, enter the BIOS settings screen and make sure that the webcam (and everything else you need) is enabled. Then press F10 to save your settings and continue through the boot sequence. You only need do this once, the EeePC will then remember your settings.

2)
Make sure you have the resolution of your webcam set correctly.

You can test this using Cheese, the webcam software that is available via the Add/Remove Software menu option. Use Add/Remove to install Cheese, run Cheese and in the preferences reduce the webcam resolution from 640x480 to 320x240 (or lower). You should get an image in Cheese to confirm your webcam is working. (This may only be a problem for the 701 but it's worth trying anyway.)
