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?

[albear]

Its an acer laptop

And the software was acer orbicam

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

[albear]

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.

[albear]

Yeah that takes me to a different web site that scans for my out of date drivers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

[albear]

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.
