Acer Orbicam

Hi
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.

That is hard to believe. My Acer Aspire 5100 was delivered with Vista
preinstalled and even after a manual reinstall of windows the cam worked
without any problem, even with the built in MS usb2.0 camera driver .
Perhaps broken hardware on your end?

we have that our orbicam does not work when we have photos saved

Thought i had the same problem, as the orbicam application did not work after
vista upgrade. However the actual camera does work with Windows Live
Messenger & Skype which is ok for me. Not sure how this can help but thought
I would share.

That's the same situation I'm in with an Aspire 5670. Not a big deal for me,
though, so I haven't pursued the latest Acer patches.

Place a support request at the acer website as I did, the control for the
webcam is working the manegement console with the settings will not start.

A few more support requests may let them act a bit quicker.

Acer 9300 here and running the Bison drivers ver 6.32.0.4.
Camera works under Vista............but I had to download the drivers from
Acer and it took 3 tries to get them to work.
I uninstalled the Camera and the drivers each time and finally something
clicked.

Had exactely the same problem with my Acer9420. Camera light goes but no
image shown. With Skype and Messenger works great, it's a driver problem and
waiting for a fix.
