    try going thru www.acer.com maybe dowloading from the US or EUROPEAN site using the www web interface instead of the FTP site will link you to a driver that is not corrupted.

    good luck

    I am not sure what problem you had with the webcam, but I had a problem on my Aspire 5520-5912 (Vista Home Premium) and maybe my solution may help other people with problems. Acer's support is horrible, but after four calls we determined that the webcam app failed, because I changed the default location of the "Pictures" folder. The program looks in the default location and fails if it has been changed. The program worked once I changed the folder back to its default.
