I think my web camera is delete off my computer

goto device manager and delete the web cam or imaging device and or universal serial bus uninstall the 1 that says web cam.
restart the notebook it will pick back up on the web cam and ask to locate and install drivers.

1. Connect your web cam

• Attach all power cords (e.g. laptop and/or web cam).
• Plug your USB cam directly into your computer (do not use any external USB hubs). Turn your cam on
• As long as your web cam and computer hardware are working, Windows should detect it!

2. Open Device Manager

• For Vista
  => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Classic View, click Device Manager
  => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Home View, click System and Maintenance->Device Manager
• For XP
  => Click Control Panel->System, then Hardware tab, then Device Manager button

3. Find your web cam in Device Manager

• Understanding Device Names
  => Windows provides user-friendly device names to accomodate us humans. As far as Windows is concerned, the device name is simply a comment!
  => It's those cryptic Device Identification strings that really identify a device
  => Device Manager displays whatever device name it happens to find in the device driver
  ...==> If Windows finds NO device driver, your web cam may be named “Unknown” or "Other" device
  ...==> If Windows finds the WRONG device driver you may see your web cam with the WRONG device name
• How to find your web cam
  => While your web cam is connected, look through all of Device Manager for devices with a yellow icon (probably a yellow question mark)
  => Look if a device category Other Devices. Also, be certain to expand the USB category to check all devices listed under it
  => Your web cam will appear as a device with a yellow icon (probably a question mark)
  => Click on thumbnail to see the full sized image
  How to verify the device you found is your web cam
  => Your web cam device will only appear in Device Manager when the web cam is powered on and connected
  => Disconnect your web cam. Verify the device you had found is no longer displayed in Device Manager

4. Find your web cam's Hardware Ids

• In Device Manager, select your web cam device, rt click Properties. Click Details tab
• Select Hardware Ids from the pull-down. You'll see a list of one or more Hardware Id strings

It may not be detected by windows or the device manager till the correct driver is installed and can initialize the device (Power it Up)

Try Searching Acers website for a Vista version of your driver , and be sure to make sure you pick the correct bit (ie; 32bit drivers will only work with 32bit vista, and 64 with 64)

this particulat model cannot be used as a web cam, when you connect it to your computer it is detected as a removable device not an imaging device

hope this helps

go into control pannel. go device manager. right click on the camera and uninstall (do not select delete driverS)

reboot the machine

install yawcam

if still having problems go to manufactureres website and search for new drivers for the camera.


or call my office 0845 20 20 118 and I can get them sent to you

check your device manager and see if its detected. if its a usb camera, you might as well try connecting it on a different usb port.

It is actually impossible to use a digital camera as a web cam. Being that you can not use the camera when it's connected to your computer. When you connect your camera to your computer, your computer only sees it as a storage device. Like a hard drive or flash. What you can do, is make a video on your camera, connect it to your computer, then send it to who you'd like.

accidentaly deleted it how do i retrieve it back

This is a common problem for Acer models using Crystal Eye. Delete the web cam from Add or remove programs. Delete all pictures from My Documents. Reinstall Bison Web cam driver. Will work!!!

before you use your web camera, you must install the disc driver to your computer, after you do that, connect your web camera to your pc, then click next and restart...if you do that...i assure you, you will use your camera normally and you can chat with a web cam..=.)
