-   my crystal eye webcam,says that it is not available,it came with my lap top what can i do to get it back?-   melety
I have an acer 5520, and my webcam also stopped working. I tried everything to sort the problem with no success. I then removed all photographs from the 'pictures' directory and moved them into 'documents'. I could not believe it, the web cam started working again. As soon as any photographs are put into 'pictures' it stops working again. It seems too simple I know, but it works. Try it. My guess is that because the camera takes pictures it ties into the picture folder. When you add any of your own to the folder something beomes corrupt. WEIRD..
the most common solution is to remove or disable the hardware from device manager ,restart the computer and and reinstall or enable the driver(auto or from software support disc-depending by brand)
i have a acer traqvelmate 7320, and i was not able to get the ale cer cam to work eather, UNTIL i unistalled the the hole pack, and ONLY installed teh diver for the cam.
Select webcam BISON DRIVER. and install it, and reboot your computer
IT WORKS :-)

HOLY ! After trying everything from downloading new drivers, to defragmenting, I was ready to give up on my acer crystal eye web cam. With nothing left to loose I tried the easy approach and simply moved my pictures into my documents folder- IT WORKED ! what the heck??? :)
Same problem as many others - just simply hasn't worked at all since I got the TravelMate 6492 last week... Please supply a permanent solution ASAP, as the ability to Skype overseas family is ruined! Have attempted to re-load drivers & utilities (Acer & Bison) without any luck.
I have a Apire 5520 and again my crystal eye web cam did not work, but as soon as i moved my pictures into a documents file, it works fine, i can't believe that the simple solution to make you webcam work is to move your pictures.
Acer Aspire 5520-5912 Notebook A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is available.
