That is hard to believe. My Acer Aspire 5100 was delivered with Vista preinstalled and even after a manual reinstall of windows the cam worked without any problem, even with the built in MS usb2.0 camera driver . Perhaps broken hardware on your end? >> Stay informed about: Acer Orbicam

Thought i had the same problem, as the orbicam application did not work after vista upgrade. However the actual camera does work with Windows Live Messenger & Skype which is ok for me. Not sure how this can help but thought I would share.

Acer 9300 here and running the Bison drivers ver 6.32.0.4. Camera works under Vista............but I had to download the drivers from Acer and it took 3 tries to get them to work. I uninstalled the Camera and the drivers each time and finally something clicked. peter "StephenB" wrote in message > Sean wrote: > >>Thought i had the same problem, as the orbicam application did not work >>after >>vista upgrade.

Place a support request at the acer website as I did, the control for the webcam is working the manegement console with the settings will not start. A few more support requests may let them act a bit quicker.

Had exactely the same problem with my Acer9420. Camera light goes but no image shown. With Skype and Messenger works great, it's a driver problem and waiting for a fix.

I've been struggling with Acer OrbiCam for over a year. Cannot adjust it with Acer software so resort to Windows Live Instant Messenger which permits minimal adjustment. In Instant Messenger however if I try to use the Advanced Settings panel everything shuts down ! Acer now finally admit that the Cam is to be used/intended for still photo clips only !!!...You belive that garbage folks ? If one wants to use it for Video or as a Instant Messenger Cam then Acer advise that we use 3rd. party software...which they will not support. Anyone know of software other than Microsoft IM that we can use to adjust the Cam settings ?...Thanks: Doug. zorro4141" wrote: > > Try removing all files from your "pictures" directory. > > > FROM THERE I CANNOT HELP YOU.

All the Acer computers I've tested that came with Vista and have a built in webcam work fine. Some older models that came with XP don't work as well. Did your computer come with Vista?
