Help, Acer Aspire One WEbcam not working

theasian100 · 05-26-2009, 12:52 AM

I was trying to use my webcam today and i went to my computer and the webcam was not showing up. Then i tried to use a program called oovoo and it said there was no webcam detected. I tried going to the options and trying to change the main webcam and there was nothing detected either.

I tried going to my devise manager and yet i couldn't find it in there either, I looked through all the tabs and i coudln't find it at all.

I haven't touched my webcam in a few days and the last time i checked it it worked perfectly fine and all. Even this morning i saw it in the my computer area but not anymore... What could be the problem!?!?!?!?

Gah! help please :/

Did you figure out what happened? Mine is not working either, don't see it under My Computer and can't use it at all.

Thanks!

It could be the updates that came, i had similar situation when updates installed and messed up some functions.

Other than that try install the driver for webcam again, and don't forget to reboot afterwards.
