Plug it into the usb port then put the cd that you got with it if you got one with it into the dvd/cd slide it will have a menu so click on install. So you have to install the webcam.
Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.
Have you any anti virus installed on your laptop ??
doing a factory restore is a bit drastic if having a virus is the only problem
there are several free anti virus programs on the net that you can download
that is if your laptop is still usable
free avg is quite a good one just be careful and read each stage of install so that you don't install some of the stuff that they wanna give you along with the free avg
If you still wanna do a system restore back to factory settings
make sure you save any files or pics that you don't want to loose on a spare hard drive or pen drive
or even burn them to disk
that is given the fact that your laptop is still working
DID you do any back up disks when you first had the laptop this would be useful if you did
Some acer's have a recovery partition i think its some where like start programs acer empering technology acer erecovery manager restore or recover something like that click on it follow the on screen instructions windows will restart and hopefully do the recover good luck but i would try to remove the virus before a system recovery
No problem! x D Here's a link to Acer's Support. Simply choose Notebook > Aspire and then your model which is 5742! There's a HID tool as well so you can quickly find which drivers are for your model. Just click the "i" icon and download the application and run it if you're unsure.
Possibly a virus let in by an inferior programme. Some times McAfee doesn't stay loaded and things can creep by the fire wall. Back up your work! Check for a virus.
Question edited for clarity and toss in a few CAPS.
Question moved to Acer Aspire category.
There a few issues that can cause this, the obvious one is that the battery has failed internally, but it can also be a charging software issue. Try this. Unplug from the mains supply. Remove the battery. Leave the computer for 2 hours. Press and hold the power button for a full 2 minutes. Replace the battery, plug back in, count to 10 and power it back up.
Has the motherboard battery ever been changed? They are critical to the health of the motherboard and the machine in general.
what password computer or outlook
Reset an Outlook password to keep your program secure.
A
Microsoft Outlook password keeps your email account secure from unwanted
intrusion.
When you wish to reset your Outlook password, you must
perform a multistep process to change your password first with your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The password with your ISP mail server must be the same as
the password you set in your Outlook program in order to send and receive
emails.
Call your ISP and request a new password for your account.
Write down the password after you receive it to ensure you
do not forget it.
Open your Outlook program, click the "Tools" tab
and then select "Email accounts."
Select "View or change existing email accounts"
and then press "Next."
Highlight the email account you wish to change (if you
have more than one email account) and press "Change."
Enter the new password you just received from your ISP
into the appropriate fields (entering it twice).
Place a check mark beside "remember password" if
you want Outlook to remember your password each time you log in.
Click "Test Account Settings" to make sure your
account works with the new password.
Press "Finish."

If you have no internal hard drive installed you won't get it to work correctly as the hard drive is where the data is stored for the operating system.
Estimado Carlos,
Cuando la PC se apaga poco tiempo despues de terla prendido puede ser una senal de sobrecalentamiento del procesador. Si es una PC desktop, puedes verificar si el disipador de calor de aluminio y su ventilador estan colocados correctamente sobre el procesador y si el ventilador esta' funcionando. Si es una laptop, debes verificar si cuando la prendes el ventilador de las rejitas de ventilacion esta' suenando. Un ventilador que este' parado o con baja rotacion puede ser una de las causas del sobrecalentamiento. Pero, en los dos casos, si no es problema del ventilador del procesador, lo que hay que hacer es lo siguiente:
1 - Desarmar la computadora, y sacar el disipador de calor com mucho cuidado de sobre el procesador;
2 - Limpiar bien entre las ranuras del disipador de calor, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad del mismo ya que el polvo ayuda a mantener el calor y sobrecalentar el procesador;
3 - Limpiar muy bien las rejillas de entrada/salida de aire, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad,
4 - Rearmar el disipador sobre el procesador, pasando entre ellos una delgada camada de pasta termica plateada, que se puede comprar en tiendas de suminsitros y partes de computadoras (NOTA: no instale el disipador sobre el procesador sin pasar la pasta termica, porque podra' seguir sobrecalentandose);
5 - Rearmar la computadora.
Caso usted no tenga facilidad en armar y desarmar la computadora, seria bueno contactarse con un tecnico de su confianza para hacer ese trabajo para usted.
!Espero que esa respuesta pueda haberle sido util!

OucH no acer real model PC told at all wow hard nut to crack that, I sure can not guess that ...The case told only helps if power on button is wrongor the PSU is wrong. I moved this to acer forum. as the mobo matters.Q1;never worked before by you,? this acer mobo by you?or found it used and dead.? used mobo come good bad or a wreck. (history not told , as in when did fail)the acer.com is the place to look first. for manuals. not told what GPU are you using onboard vga or GPU card or what?All fans spin ? CPU and PSU????if using GPU card that has fan, does it spin too??if case fans do they spin?DoeS DVD tray eject (button hit)?DOES PC beep or flash LED codes?Q2;What VIDEO port class is this "connection"is it:vga, hdmi, dvi or DP ports which one, and where is it? For now only use (if has one) use the VGA port on the mobo , no PCI cards in slots., NO HDD, AND NO DVD DRIVE (JUST UNPLUG THEM FOR NOW) ALL USB THINGS UNPLUG, KEYBOARD LEAVE THERE.MEMORY :pUT 1 stick of ddr RAM only in bank0 channel "A"CPU socket pins bent as seen on ebay endless and sad. below is me guessing what Acer you have.and find this, Acer/GATEWAY ZX4951 or ASPIRE Z3100I read the GW manual check jumpers.the PSU needs 2 power cables to the mobo.4pin power and 24pin (or 20 on legacy)or mobo will be dead. why mess with ACER. (they have no service manuals)put an Asus or Gigabyte mobo there and end this ACER pain,post a photo of the mobo and we can guess what PC it came out of, .......
mute the speakers if still sounds noisy the fan inside is packed in lint and needs to be cleaned out or overeheating is bad news.
why not ask a shop to look into this.
we can take it apart (covers ) and user or stethoscope to hear noise.
a $5 tool that is. and all shops have one or DIY one.
I put my hear to hDD casings me,
i use tube and put it near the fan vent to hear it scream.
there is no other way besides unplugging all that 1 by one to hear it go silent.
this is SOP, vast PC's pack up in lint and fail.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE SUFFERRING FROM THIS. THERE IS AN SIMPLEST SOLUTION AND THAT IS JUST DOWNLOAD ACER LAUNCH MANAGER VERSION 8 FROM GOOGLE. https://softfamous.com/acer-launchmanager/ THIS IS THE LINK AND INSTALL THIS AND BLUETOOTH ICON WILL APPEAR IN THE TASK BAR. IT WAS SO SIMPLE PLEASE TRY THIS
first confirm that your touch pad is working or not. yor touch pad may be disabled or it may be dead. you can enable your touch pad in it's setting. you can connect an external mouse to your laptop to check that. or you can enable mouse keys in control panel.
