Under programs, there is a dell web cam program,there is also a dell web cam help file,if you install skype (a free web cam communication program) it will automatically turn on and off the web cam as the program starts and exits.there are also other dell web cam programs that will let you adjust ,and take snap shots called web cam console and dell webcam manager

In order to use your web cam and take pictures follow these steps :

you can do this using the disc which you have got when you bought the web cam.

Must ensure that you select the correct serial number of your web cam when you do this.

The Acer bar should be at the top of the screen when you start the computer. Look for the cam icon on it.

If the Acer bar is not showing on your desktop, Go to start , Programs.Look for "Acer web Cam": or something close to that

I would assume this is a built in web-cam. Normally a web-cam software comes installed on your computer and all you need to do start the software and the web-cam will start. Or you may use this link to get a free web-cam software. http://www.eyespyfx.com/my_webcam_broadcaster.htm
Note, if the web-cam is not a built in web-cam this will work a bit differently.

hi,
the most common reason for this is that the driver is not installed. click here to download the driver(the driver is generic so can be used for all models).
