I need help with my acer orbicam 5610

restore to factory settings by tapping alt f10 at boot, otherwise you need a new camera.

What application are u trying to open ?

Make sure that in that application settings at image input / camera or something similar u select your laptop`s camera.

restore back to the date when your orbicam is properly working.pls. rate.ty

plz try by reloading the webcam software if you have webcam

check your device maneger
if its enabled or if its working properly

** Note ** When the My Pictures or Pictures folder gets full, camera will not work - Cut and Paste all pictures in that
folder to another folder and restart Orbicam program.

If that does not work then do this:

Start - Programs - look for Acer Empowering Technology then Acer E-Recovery - The look at the bottom and you will
"Backup", "Burn disk" and Restore" choose Restore - choose Apps and Drivers at the bottom of Restore tab (it will say
extracting) - once extracted - click Install or Guides and Manuals if needing Orbicam instructions - click Vista or (XP) on the left - click Drivers - click Camera or CCD - on the
right side of the screen, then look for Bison driver or (or your model which can be found in device manager - control panel - system - device manager - Imaging devices) you have then click a phrase that has something like "Install now", follow on screen instructions. Then repeat steps above and instead of driver choose Bison (or your model which can be found in device manager - control panel - system - device manager - Imaging devices) Utility

sounds like youre using vista where live messenger starts up auto and tries to log you on whether you use it or not .if so let it run its course then right click on the icon and disable then reboot

try new driver

There are two types of driver for the orbicam, Bison and Logitech, so ensure you have the correct one installed, especially if you are running Vista as it's a different driver again, and it's installed a seperate peice of hardware although it's built into the notebook. There are no listing for 5600 drivers so try 5610 they should be the same http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_5610.html
