No acer capture device found on your system - Acer (91.16848.010) Video Capture

go to control panel/system security/system/device manager. on the top scan driver click it... if you see an icon camera with yellow sign (like this ?) click it and install update online... automatic online downloading... step by step ...

thank you...

I found that everything depends on the order in which you enable the various devices.
It seems it has to be in this order

1. Devices - Acer Crystal Eye Webcam
2. Devices - Microphone Realtek
3. Capture - Capture Audio
4. Start Capture

5. See self in recording and recoil in horror and despair. :-)

you have to use the driver cd which came along with your device and install them and this will install the driver for your capture device and your hardware will be detected.

thanks

check for drivers, update the driver , go to manage devices and check for update driver,

it worked for me hope it will help you

you need to download a video capturing device
if your system did not come with one
the built in webcam is exactly that for messaging programs and taking snaps but they can be used for video and this is usually something you need to get on your own
debut is usually a pretty good site
