Go to device manager and check if you see a yellow mark beside the Camera device. If not, chances are the drivers are installed and you can't get the front end (Crystal Eye to work). Download this tool and install it, it will provide you with a preview of the USB Video Stream. This way you will know that your webcam is working or not!

This is acutally the Intex Drivers. I happen to own an Acer Laptop with the same problem. The video drivers work, but Crystal Eye (Front End) doesnt work. This Intex Driver will install a free front end to view the USB Camera Feed.
The Acer Laptop should have the built in crystal eye webcam. However it is only activated when using a program requiring a webcam. (Msn chat, skype etc etc) Unless you are using the webcam through one of those programs (or similar programs) then you will not see your webcam show up.
I found my web cam on my acer aspire 5534 under start, all programs, acer crystal eye webcam. open that folder and it has a link you can place on your desktop. (right click and send to desktop which creates an icon on your desktop for ease of use later) Hope this helps you.
It depends on which model Acer you have. My son has a Acer Aspire 5532, which he later found it doesn't have a Webcam or a mic. (Maybe that's why I have a Toshiba :-D ) You'd have to check the laptop manual to see if you have a Webcam, and to locate the program to run it.
the best thing to do, is to reinstall the driver for the web-cam :)
if you have built-in web cam so it can easily connected with messenger
or you check that driver is installed through control penal
u have to go on messenger and go on webcam
if you have an ACER laptop webcam (eye crystal webcam) then go on properties and everything should be there to help.
go onto acer crystal eye webcam and press the camera button
No, it has a port for an external microphone.
You would use Acer's "Crystal Eye Webcam". Which can be found in your programs menu.
You can turn on the built in Webcam, for a Mercer laptop computer by going to the program menu. In the program menu click on YouCam. Open the YouCam program and the Webcam will turn on.
how do i turn the web cam on a aspire5516
If you have a ACER ASPIRE , you could search crystal eye webcam and you would see on the left side, the right icon is a video cam you could click that and you are ready for recording a new video using you're webcam on your laptop. :D
i have an acer and i go into my computer click on the webcam and click on take new picture
I want to make webcom to chat with friends but I don't know how please help me
Yes it is called Acer crystal Web cam. When you open the laptop there should be a camera overhead the screen. Look in the start screen or other programs to find Acer Crystal Web Cam.
