I have a webcam built into my laptop, and since installing windows 7 I can't open it
I've tried finding the file in my back up and running it from that but it wouldn't open

I can use it on other things that use a camera like msn, I just can't work out how to open it by itself

Any help would be gratly appreciated

What software did you use before? What make is the laptop?

Its an acer laptop

And the software was acer orbicam

Acer OrbiCam Software Informer: Latest version download, news and info about this Acer OrbiCam program. Image driver. (http://acer-orbicam.software.informer.com/)

I can't download it I can't find a link there.

When I get directed to the logitec website I can't find whatever web cam I have, like I said its built into the laptop and hence I don't know its model numer

There is no way for me to download acer orbicam from there, or at least not one that I can see, unless there's something obvious that I haven't tried

I guess I'm just looking for a way to use my web cam, like I used to with orbicam, if you know of anything I could try, that might help?

I see a big red Download Now button.

Yeah that takes me to a different web site that scans for my out of date drivers

So I must download their driver scanner register and pay to download the new drivers

And I don't have the money to be honest

The scanner says my usb 2.0 cam drivers are up to date,


Why are these things never simple :(

I have the same issue with my Dell laptop and Win7. The software doesn't work with Win7 but the hardware works in Skype.
