Has anyone got an Acer Aspire 5100 with the built in orbicam and managed to
get it working with Vista Home Premium??

Have tried all the upgrade drivers and applications from the Acer website to
no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've been struggling with Acer OrbiCam for over a year. Cannot adjust it
with Acer software so resort to Windows Live Instant Messenger which permits
minimal adjustment. In Instant Messenger however if I try to use the
Advanced Settings panel everything shuts down ! Acer now finally admit that
the Cam is to be used/intended for still photo clips only !!!...You belive
that garbage folks ? If one wants to use it for Video or as a Instant
Messenger Cam then Acer advise that we use 3rd. party software...which they
will not support. Anyone know of software other than Microsoft IM that we
can use to adjust the Cam settings ?...Thanks: Doug.

Acer Orbicam is a generic name that Acer uses for many different webcams
from many different manufacturers. All the Acer computers I've tested that
came with Vista and have a built in webcam work fine. Some older models that
came with XP don't work as well. Did your computer come with Vista? What is
the model number?

I am really struggling with this ACER Orbicam problem. Yes, moving all
files out of the pictures folder allows me to open the Orbicam
application without it crashing, but still the camera shows nothing....
Black screen.. There must be an answer to this... (How on earth can
this be the right solution!)

ACER Aspire 9410Z Vista 100% up to date with microsoft.. The latest
ACER updates all installed and up to date...

Someone must know the full solution to this problem ?

Please??


Regards Guy
