and thats what happening with mine too http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/Built-in-webcam-found-then-lost-then-found/td-p/133490...
mataleo, try uninstalling USB Charger+, reboot, then try the webcam. Leave USB Charger+ uninstalled until you get the webcam working.
Try uninstalling hidden and real webcam devices, reboot and go into Device Manager - give it a couple minutes to find and install drivers - scan for hardware changes if it didn't come back on it's own. Test it again.
So far everyone has gotten it working without that Skype work around, and I wouldn't play with that ManyCam tool, yet.
I am running Windows 8.1, with all drivers update
Make sure all the drivers listed in Programs and Features has been updated, and install the latest INF chipset driver - it is at the end of this list - check versions and update all drivers for Windows 8.1. Reboot between each driver update.
The G750JW/JX/JH/JM/JS/JZ download areas haven't had new updates for a while, at the time of this post the JM download area is where to get the latest Windows 8.1 updates, after the new G750 models after those are released then their download area will be the ones to watch. BIOS updates still happen in your model's support area, so still check there from time to time.
Here is the list of places I look for updates for my G750JH; the best way to get a stable fully functioning G750/G751 is to update all the drivers / apps to the latest Windows 8.1 release.
The G750JW/JX/JH/JM/JS/JZ download areas haven't had new updates for a while, BIOS updates still happen in your model's support area, so check there from time to time.
The G750/G751/551/500/etc share the same basic hardware components; check support download areas for new hardware for newer drivers.
Asus maintains central support areas for hardware component features common to all products, those areas usually have the latest drivers after new hardware releases, sometimes there is a lag before the newer drivers show up there, so still to new product releases support downloads for the latest drivers.
Asus G751 Support / Download areas - Asus hasn't updated all the versions of these support areas, this link discusses the 3 locations were started independantly and not sync'd/updated through to the latest driver releases - check them all to be sure.
