Dear user you can solve this problem within few second please reinstall your webcam driver and your webcam will be work properly.....

try to remove cables and battery , then press and hold the power button for 8 secs. Reinsert the cables and battery back, then turn it on. If no power, then that propels you to contact Acer for repair because power supply won't work on your laptop..

First how old is your LP? and 2nd try replacing the BIOS battery inside the PC wait 24 hrs then install the new battery, this might help?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the webcam from the following link:
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads_gd.html

It means some of the application installed in the system is using the camera port.Remove or disable the application like veriface facial recognisation security tools etc.

Your webcam will work now.

This program will eliminate your problem of the camera being busy or being used by another program. Really works great.
