    I didn't see anything that looked like it had something to do with my webcam. What do I do? Thanks for responding.

  • Kazunomiya Ryukotsusei May 11, 2008

    I have something with an yellow error icon.. with an exclaimation mark on it. But it says PCI FLASH MEMORY. There is three of them. They say exactly the same thing. I don't see my Acer OrbiCam (bison) thing anywhere on the list.

  • Kazunomiya Ryukotsusei May 11, 2008

    Rubec, would it be possible to aquire your help via remote assistance? I would really appreciate it, as I am very confused by all of this. If this is all right, my e-mail is [email protected]

  • Kazunomiya Ryukotsusei May 11, 2008

    Oh, is it? Sorry. I just scrambled through the internet for help when my webcam failed and nothing I did worked. If it costs money, or requires my real-life info.. No, I can't.

  • Kazunomiya Ryukotsusei May 11, 2008

    Wait, load the driver that is downloaded?

    That link took me to a whole bunch of options. I selected the download category, but all these selection menus came up, and I don't know what to click?

  • Kazunomiya Ryukotsusei May 13, 2008

    I don't know what happened.. Because, I tried restarting and system restoring to fix my problem.. But, today when I turned on my computer, everything was working perfectly. Thank you for your time, Rubec.

Check to see if the driver is loaded for the webcam and the device is enabled. You can do this (For Windows) by going in the control panel, system, hardware, device manager.

    As your webcam is "built in" the chances are that the driver for the webcam is not loaded, or another device is conflicting with it.



    The best place to sart is in the device manager where it will show if the webcam is loaded or windows is seeing the device.



    So go to your control panel & select "system"

    Then select "hardware" from the tab

    Then press the button "device manager"

    If the device has a problem it will show up with a yellow error icon.



    From this I will know the next step in helping you

    For me to help you on line you need to open a premium account call, it's fixya's site's rules.



    Can you do this?


  • Anonymous May 11, 2008

    I understand, but try this way for a while, we might be able to it!



    Goto the acer site and download the driver for the webcam:

    http://global.acer.com/support/index.htm

    Load the driver that is downloaded. It will install the driver or upack the files needed on your hard drive:

    If it loads the driver, fixed. If it unpacks the files, write down the location it unpacks the files.

    In the device manager right click one of the devices showing a yellow icon, and click on install/update driver, select the location (Where the files unpacked) and it will say updated, or can't find driver. If updated fixed. If not do, the same for the other icon's.



    Update me on how you go.

Model5742 web cam not working

The Acer OrbiCam is a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam mounted at the top of certain Acer laptops. The webcam can record video clips and integrate with instant messaging software. If you are trying to use your Acer OrbiCam but it won't connect, the driver--a small software file that tells the webcam what to do--may be outdated. Acer provides webcam driver update pages for the Aspire 9300 and Aspire 5570 versions.

1.Go to the Acer 5570 or Acer 9300 Driver Download page (see Resources).
2.Click "MS Windows XP" or "MS Windows Vista" on the drop-down menu, depending on your operating system.
3.Select "Acer OrbiCam Bison Driver" from the menu.
4.Click "Save File > OK" and wait for it to download.
5.Double-click on the downloaded setup files to install the driver.
6.Go back to the Acer Downloads page, and select "Acer OrbiCam Driver Bison Utility 1.0.0.13" from the drop-down menu.
7.Click on "Save File > OK" and wait for it to download. Double-click on the downloaded setup files to install the driver.
8.Restart the computer.

I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya

Acer OrbiCam not working (acer aspiral9412zwsmi)

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.
