    Hi, try removing the Acer Crystal Webcam from add/remove in control panel. Then go to the device manager and imaging devices. Right click the reference to crystal webcam then click uninstall, now go to action and scan for hardware devices, after the imaging device has been installed reboot the laptop and reinstall the correct driver for the webcam fram acer's support site for your Aspire one.
    Al I can say is that this worked for me...
