there should be a program on your computer called acer arcade deluxe. Go into arcade deluxe and choose DV wizard, it will then say choose device for recording (nb once you have done this and recorded using the dv wizard then you can open the movie maker wizard)

ok if you have an acer. there should be a program on your computer called acer arcade deluxe. Go into arcade deluxe and choose DV wizard, it will then say choose device for recording choose crystal eye webcam and then record your video. It will automatically save your video then just go into windows movie maker and import the video. That simple. Hope this helped> Casey Elkins

ok to put it simple: there is no way to record from a buitl in camera on acer unde vista platform ! there simple isnt. In movie maker under vista platform you cant choose built in cam as a video device, so you cant record anything. the best solution is if we all write/call acer and demand that they relese a new program for a built in cam that lets you record videos and not only capture images wich it doeas now ! i mean how stupid is that !!!! they have to keep up wit hthe rest of them all loose costumers. dont get me wrong i love my acer thats why i want to see them fix this stupidity FAST !!!

In Windows xp operating system, there is an icon in My computer to take the cam...in Windows Vista, there is no short cut to take the cam...if u just want to check ur cam ..then take Movie Auto Producer from All programs..continue with the free version...then from the tools menu..take the second option..video from cam coder....thats all....

Hey Lostcheryl,

I hope you were able to install the drivers just fine for the camera. If not, then head over to global.acer.com to get the most recent drivers for the cam.

Once you have it installed, go to My Computer > Then on the bottom it should show a camera device.

If you want to use your camera for chatting purposes, for example, yahoo, or Skype!, you just open the option for video camera and it should automatically initialize the camera.

If you want to make a video, you can use the built in program, Windows Movie Maker. Start > All Programs > Windows Movie Maker. From there, choose a device, and then you should be able to choose your webcam!

Hope this info is helpful.

-Chad
