I don't know what I need to do to open my webcam program on my computor.

I don't know what program you are trying to use. Does it work on skype? Or a similar program. I would suggest using a free service to test the webcam.

A bit vague don't you think. Can you be more specific. If you are trying to remove a program from your computer go to Control Panel and uninstall in programs. I don't know which OS you have.

One of the two:

1. The driver is absent or not compatible with your software
2. The hardware of both machines "don't like" each other (protectionism)

Is the webcam driver installed in the Device Manager under Imaging Device? Click Start/Control Panel then look for System or System and Performance. Open it and look for the Device Manager. It might be under hardware depending on your operating system. Once you have the Device Manager open look for Imaging Device. If you see it click the + sign next to Imaging Device to expand it to see the webcam. Make sure it says it is working properly.

If you don't see it under Imaging Device then you need to go to the manufacturers website and download the webcam drivers.

Get online and got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "Acer Support" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operating system when requested. Download and install the Webcam drivers.

Maybe it is installed but you don't know how to start the webcam. There are not buttons or switches to make it start. It is driven by the application software program.


You have to open the webcam software to activate or start the webcam. There is no button to push or switch to turn on. The webcam software is somewhere in the program list. Click Start/Programs then search for any reference to webcam or camera. Sometimes the webcam might be inside one of the manufacturers folders in the program list so search the folders for it. Some manufacturers have something like Entertainment Experience that will open and show all the entertainment devices such as the dvd drive, webcam, media player, etc. if you see it click it to launch it then click on the webcam or camera icon.



Try using ManyCam

You can always download Manycam and install it. Go to www.google.com and in the search box type: "download.cnet.com" (without the quotes). Click on the link to go to the site. When the site opens look down on the left and you will see a gray area that says Find Software. Type "Manycam" (without the quotes) in the white search area then hit the search mirror. When it brings back your results look for the one that says ManyCam Virtual Webcam. Down load it and install it. Make sure you remove the check box on any junky programs it would like to install. You only want to install ManyCam, no additions whatsoever during the install. ManyCam is totally FREE and easy to use, and you will always know where your webcam software is.

You don't need codes. I'm not sure what you are trying to do but to program the opener for a remote you need to hold the button down on the remote while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. The smart/learn button is on the rear of the motor unit near where all those white wires go.

I don't have one for free but I do have one. Let me know if you are interested [email protected]

Hi

Just reinstall your webcam driver to fix the missing DLL FILE.

Or go to this link http://www.dll-files.com/.

If still the same, the only solution is to reinstall the operating system and reinstall again the webcam driver which might be corrupted with the windows registry file.

Regards

Don't open two programs that uses webcam, for example: if you have skype application opened with video call you can use the webcam at yahoo messenger. make show application that requires one web cam features like video calling are online opened when needed.
if the is a hidden program that you sure to have close it that is still in process, then open the task manager and click on applications, you will see and end it process there, if the problem persist then restart the computer.

I am glad to HELP YOU!

Go START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACER CRYSTAL EYE WEBCAM and select it. Click on ACER CRYSTAL EYE WEBCAM and that should activate the webcam.
Once the webcam is active you will see an icon displayed in the TASKBAR.

Anyway, using any communication/chat/social software like Yahoo!Messenger or Skype or whatever that requires a webcam connection it will open automatically once the video conversation is on.

GOOD LUCK!
... and don't forget to RATE, please...
