    I've posted this in another thread but it wasn't quite related to the original topic so I've made a new thread. I've had this problem for a couple of weeks now. Didn't notice this until I installed Windows 7, but now my webcam does not work. I think it has to do with my laptop falling off the couch as I had problems after that getting the card reader to work (card reader is fine now). I have tried running the Crystal Eye program in XP, Vista 32-bit, Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit with no luck (it just says camera not found). Occasionally in Vista I will get a popup error message saying a usb device has malfunctioned, and when I look in device manager it says unknown device. I can't seem to figure out how to fix this problem and need some advice. Where would I need to look to see if the camera is loose?

    I guess no one here has any idea what to do? Guess I'll have to send it to Acer then :(

    perhaps a loose connection

    sending to acer might be the best solution to resolve your issue.
