webcam driver either of those 2.

Hi there , On the laptop & after ready your OS for work just put your Acer driver DVD in DVD RW/ROM. when its open, that time just select webcam driver and install it as per your operating system. Usually Acer user's are install Broadcom driver for webcam.
So do it and after finish restart the laptop. Your will see your cam is ready for use.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback.

You need to find right drivers for your laptop .
search on google as " windows drivers for acer travel mate 5520 " if you do not know how to install drivers let me know .
scan you system with an anit virus as well

You are missing your drivers,..go to their website and download your drivers, you have to match it up with your type of laptop

Go to this link: http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/, choose notebook, aspire, and the 5520. Download the 3 camera drivers and install.

Download driver and application and then install it from here :

Note: there are 4 different driver, because i can't tell which oneinstalled in your laptop, try each of them but remember to uninstallprevious driver before you install the new one.

The clearest connection for webcam is not Yahoo, it's Windows live messanger--I'd definitely give it a try. you can get your Acer webcam (which actually is a logitech) working in two ways: bizarrely, sometimes you need to move all your photos to a new folder, leaving the original empty. if that doesn't work, try reinstalling the original webcam sofware as follows: actually, first go to control panel, then check out device manager to see if you have any nasty big checks. If imaging devices has a big check, try reinstalling the driver there. If that doesn't fixya, click on Start, then Acer Empowering Technology, then Acer E-Recovery, and choose Restore Apps and Drivers at the bottom of Restore tab. It will extract; then click Install for Vista or (XP) on the left - click Drivers - Camera or CCD - on the right side of the screen for your model which you saw in device manager. you and your friends should set up Live Messanger per their directions--much clearere images, as i said. Please let me know if that doesnt do the trick.

well fist the size that it is says is creating the error is interesting. My guess is that the fault is because the picture you are trying to access is actually a GIF. If this is the case many camera software and even some of the graphic software will not read it. Try opening that picture in internet explorer and see what happens. To remove the fault what i would do is erase the picture or move it to another part of your hard drive. That way when you start the camera it will not be looking for that picture but another JPEG.
