    I downloaded the drivers after reformating and My webcam is no longer dectected, also I can't figure out how to install the lan drivers. also I can't install power management due to not having .net or something like that. how do i get that?

    You can try download the .net framework from Microsoft. Are not the driver/app for the Webcam not located on Acer's site?

    A simple search on the Acer forum here would answer all of your questions, but because you took the time to make a thread I'll take the time to search for you ok? ;(

    .net framework 1.1 can be downloaded here - http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ (1/3rd of the way down the page)

    .net framework 2.0 can be downloaded here - http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ (1/3rd of the way down the page)

    Download and run each file individually. Let it install completely, restart and do the other.

    Your lan drivers can be located here - http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/1057261~f9e3ce0a0f88f76badf685765369828c/AS5670_Lan5789.zip

    Your acer orbicam drivers + sofware can be downloaded off of acers main support page which is located here - http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5620_5670.html

    Enjoy

    Check this out it might help you. And the software that comes with the orbicam is very bloated, it would be best just to install the drivers, have you tried the european ones?

    It's a .zip file (it's compressed). You need 7zip, winrar, or any other equiviant software to decompress it.

    You can update the driver from Device Manager allowing you to locate the needed .inf file.

    now something weirder is happening, I got the camera to work and stuff. But when I go into any software that uses it, all I see from the camera is a big gray square. It doesnt pick up anything but a gray square
