I think that's what you're looking for.

Hallo! Try to reinstall the camera driver for your laptop. Go to acer.us or acer.eu, drivers and downloads, than select your model, download the camera diver(s). If there are some different drivers, download all and try one by one. Cheers!

In your start menu under all programs, is there a program called acer crystal eye or crystal eye? this is the webcam software. if you dont have it go here to download: http://download.cnet.com/Acer-Crystal-Eye-webcam/3000-2108_4-188685.html


You can also go to sites like cameroid.com to take pictures with your webcam without downloading anything,
Hope this helps!

Remove all the pictures out of your Pictures folder. Just move them to a folder on your desktop or somewhere. When all the pictures are out of your Picture folder you Acer Crystal Eye Webcam should start to work.

if we are talking about the same acer netbook then it doesnt really have a self timer web cam picture. you may use your mouse to capture a picture though.

There should be a program in the start/programs menu called acer crystaleye, the software to take pictures with the webcam is in there. (if you are running vista that came with the laptop).
