I have an Acer Aspire 5532. There's a webcam on t he laptop but I can't access. I've tried downloading all the drivers or whatever and I still can't get to it. Maybe its different with Windows 7.

I recently purchased this exact same model - Acer Aspire 5532 from Best Buy. The laptop looks like it could possibly have a webcam on it because of a round piece where a built-in webcam would go but the box clearly states that this model does not have a webcam.

Their website clearly states this model DOES have a webcam.
"Integrated Acer Crystal Eye webcam, supporting enhanced Acer PrimaLite™ technology"

They wouldn't sell you a laptop with windows 7 and have driver problems right out of the box. Acer checks each product and compatibility before it is shipped to the dealer. If it came with windows 7 drivers are not the issue.

Does the Acer Aspire 5532 have a built in webcam?

I can't see any built-in webcam referred to in the product information page:
http://us.acer.com/acer/productv.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&kcond61e.c2att101=69962&sp=page16e&ctx2.c2att1=25&link=ln438e&CountryISOCtxParam=US&ctx1g.c2att92=447&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=3284883877

However, there are webcam drivers available for download from the "Drivers & Download" page for this laptop model. So, I would assume that it has a built-in webcam.
Anyway, all modern laptops nowadays have built-in webcams.
