Hi I have just bought

Try the below steps:

1. Press ‘Alt + F10' to start eRecovery Management.
2. Enter the Acer eRecovery Management password, the default password is six zero's, or 000000.
3. Select ‘Recovery Actions' and click ‘Next'
4. Select ‘Reinstall Applications/drivers' and click ‘Next'
5. On the left hand side of the newly opened window select Windows XP
6. Select Driver
7. Select Camera
8. On the right side of the same window, click ‘Install Camera Driver Now'
9. The unit will reboot after the installation is complete.

is it the built in OrbiCam rhat stopped working? Or a Webcam that you purchased?

Hi,

Ready for this, goto to start>my pictures and remove all images from that folder except for the samples folder, just create another folder in your documents for these images.

Now start the webcam up again.

Sounds stupid but it works.

Cheers

Goto Start - Programs - Recovery Manager - Recovery Manager.In that recovery manager,click on next.Its shows the Software reinstallation page.Click on next button two times.Its shows the software lists.Select the webcam software and click on next button.After reinstallation completed , u restart laptop and check it.
If ur laptop have windows XP operating system then u uninstall the webcam software through Add/Remove program and restart it.After restarting ,Reinstall the web cam software and check it. If u doesnt have webcam drivers then u go for nearest service centre and install it.
