Camera im having a problem with my acer orbicam. it's saying that my camera is not connected to my laptop. wat should i do.

The Name of the webcam in the laptop is Acer OrbiCam integrated 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera (on selected models)
1. did the webcam work earlier

Sounds like a driver went astray.
Normal 0 Try disconnecting the Camera from the USB port and reinstall the CD software program. When the program asks you to connect the camera to the USB port, do so and it should work.
Hope this helps. Bud

What I would first recommend doing is reinstalling the driver for your camera. The driver is basically what allows your computer and web cam to connect to each other.

The Download: http://www.acer.com.sg/support/drivers.asp?product_type_=Acer+Notebook&product_name_=Acer+Aspire+5670+Series+&category_=Windows+XP+Drivers

After downloading that file , run it and install it...that should take care of your issue!

keep turning it then clicking the camera start up button, it will start again, i have to do this everytime, but not much use when using MSN, though. as it will say the camera is in use, stupid camera and software this is but only solution is to buy a cheap web cam

If you have a grey rectangle where ur cam should be. Especially after a fresh install plus all the drivers. although Then here's your solution :)

Go into device manager and delete the USB controller. Then reboot. When it says new hardware found let it automatically install it. Et voila, working cam :)
