Has it worked in the past, on this computer?
Have you recently upgraded to Vista?

Here is a suggestion:
There are two software entities involved – the camera Drivers and the OrbiCam application itself

The new driver and a new version of webcam application (below)

The correct files to download are:
Acer Orbicam driver (Bison)
Acer Orbicam Bison utility 1.0.0.13

These can be found here under the MS Windows Vista drop down menu:
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_9300.html
You need to download and install them both.

Acer orbicam does not function model is Aspire 9301A

Hi thank you for visiting and am willing to help you with that problem, if the orbicam stop working its because the drivers which activate the cam could be missing so i have a good suggestion for you that should fix that problem, go to: www.acer-orbicam.software.informer.com and download the software driver for your orbicam and your computer will be fine one more
if my advise is helpful to you please give me your vote
thank you

Acer orbicam

Go to this link and look up your model for the manual also use the Help menu for Orbicam
http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acerdrivers/bin/drivers.html?CFID=138987&CFTOKEN=95077875

If not working then:

** Note ** When the My Pictures or Pictures folder gets full, camera1.gif 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 - Programs1.gif - look for Acer1.gif Empowering Technology then Acer E-Recovery - The look at the bottom and you will
"Backup1.gif", "Burn disk" and Restore" choose Restore - choose Apps and Drivers at the bottom of Restore tab (it will say
extracting) - once extracted - click Install - click Vista1.gif or (XP) on the left - click Drivers - click Camera or CCD - on the
right side of the screen, click a phrase that has something like "Install now", follow on screen instructions.

Acer oribicam not working

you should be able to get the drivers and application from acer.
http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acerdrivers/bin/drivers.html
select notebook, aspire 5100, and scroll down to acer orbicam

you will need to go into the control panel, system, device manager, and check under imaging for acer orbicam, double click it and it should tell you the manufacturer (bison, logitech, suyin)

grab the appropriate driver and camera applications

remove the installed orbicam application via add/remove programs and reboot if necessary prior to installing the new drivers and application.

if this doesn't fix the issue, please post a follwup and i will see what i can find out.

hope this helps,
trin

Acer aspire 5600 travelmate

There are two types of driver for the orbicam, Bison and Logitech, so ensure you have the correct one installed, especially if you are running Vista as it's a different driver again, and it's installed a seperate peice of hardware although it's built into the notebook. There are no listing for 5600 drivers so try 5610 they should be the same http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_5610.html
