I bought a new acer 5100-5840 this past spring. I hardly ever used my web cam that came with the laptop. About 4 months ago it just stopped working. I have VISTA that came with the laptop but it worked fine and now when I attempt to turn it on an error message from microsoft windows says my web cam has a problem and they will let me know if "they" can fix it. But they never reply and jsut continually say windows has a problem and will contact me with solutions but never do. Can you help me??
-   I was chating and using my Acer Web Cam one day and the following day it stopped working. Going through the steps of reporting the problem to Windows I have not heard back as to how to recify the problem.-   Guest

-   I have a 1.3 Megapixel logitech quickcam and it has stopped working. We had to reboot our computer and ever since then it has stopped working. It says that the ASB cord needs to be plugged in, when it is in. What's wrong and how do I fix it?-   mittermylee
