Try downloading and installing the newest drivers for the model of your computer.

If this doesn't fix it, make sure you are not using any programs like ManyCam or anything that would be using your webcam. You can only use the webcam in one program at a time.

Hi, I have Acer Aspire 4710 and my Crystal Eye Webcam is not working at all with any Skype version. Right now I have Skype 5.5 and it's still not working but when I open the Crystal Eye Webcam it works...

You need to redownload the drivers for your crystal eye web cam. Go to this link: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
When you get there, select "Notebook"...then select "Aspire". Then scroll down and select Aspire
4710 Then where you see "Operating System", select your operating system (ex: XP, Vista, or Windows 7). It will then show all the drivers for your operating system...scroll down until you see the camera driver software and then download and reinstall it. Hopefully this will help...good luck.

My crystal eye progam just stopped working and now i can't use my webcam.

you can still use your webcam, just not with crystal eye. try downloading another webcam viewing program, or even try using programs like skype to see if it is enabled. if it is not, try re-installing drivers for the webcam.
