Built in cam won't work.

I have acer aspire 3690. At first my cam was working, I was using BisonCam. I did not like it so I decided to delete it which was wrong, so i redownloaded it and downloaded Acer Orbicam. Now my built in webcam will not work on either of them. I need help please, i would like to start using my webcam asap.

I would go to acer.com and reinstall the built in webcam. I would also go into start, right click my computer, click properties, go into the hardware tab, click device manager and see if there is any yellow shields. that means u need to reinstall the driver. if there isnt i would check the source in the camera software

Orbicam problem

This seems to be a common problem as i have the same issue, we need to report this to Acer and they will relece a fix for it or at least offer to collect it and fix it, they are normally good that way.

Acer orbi cam

unfortunately there could be the possibility that your acer cam is not compatible with vista.. vista is a tricky os right now so it is particular on devices and compatability issues--i was an early adoptor and it isn't fun.. i would check out logitech cams, they seem to work well but look for the vista compatible.. you may want to visit your acer website and see if there are any update or downloads for current users that now have vista.. hope this helps..
