    my friend did this and now under device manager she has acer crystal eye with a ! in a yellow sign next to it and when she clicks on it it says "this device cannot start". the error on aim was ATTENTION (10:06:02 PM): Video session initiated.
    ATTENTION (10:06:02 PM): You do not have a camera.

    now what?

    EDIT: she got it back somehow to the original problem are there any other fixes?
