There is a webcam built into my acer laptop, but when i dont know how to connect it to my yahoo messenger, and use it for video chat on yahoo messenger. when i click to turn on the webcam on yahoo, it says "no webcam found on your computer"- any suggestions? please help. thanks i've acer travelmate 3260 with built in acer orbicam (logitec) i upgraded to wim. vista, and installed all available drivers, but aftr that the cam stopped working wz yahoo, it works wz all other programs like oovoo, msn, but doesn'r work wa yahoo, it gives me msg there is no cam, plx help me to solve this prob.
** Note ** When the My Pictures or Pictures folder gets full, camera will not work - Cut and Paste all pictures in that
folder to another folder and restart Orbicam program.
If that does not work then do this:
Start - Programs - look for Acer Empowering Technology then Acer E-Recovery - The look at the bottom and you will
"Backup", "Burn disk" and Restore" choose Restore - choose Apps and Drivers at the bottom of Restore tab (it will say
extracting) - once extracted - click Install or Guides and Manuals if needing Orbicam instructions - click Vista or (XP) on the left - click Drivers - click Camera or CCD - on the
right side of the screen, then look for Bison driver or (or your model which can be found in device manager - control panel - system - device manager - Imaging devices) you have then click a phrase that has something like "Install now", follow on screen instructions. Then repeat steps above and instead of driver choose Bison (or your model which can be found in device manager - control panel - system - device manager - Imaging devices) Utility
Or try re-installing the driver
Remove pictures in pictures should solve problem did with me best of luck all

well i found a solution for this problem, and it happened by chance, installed the yahoo 9 beta version. then i use the orbiacer cam program (the one came with the driver) to open the cam, and when it gives an image, i close the screen, not the program, and choose view my webcam from messenger list, and it works, but if u went to preferences you won't see yur cam listed there, but it worked by that way, sure it isn't a perfect profissionl soluation, but it solved the problem anyway, hope it gonna help you all, till we figure the best solution for this problem
