My Acer Crystal Eye Webcam wont take a picture.

The webcam opens fine, and you can see the camera working, but when you click on the icon to take the picture it doesn't do anything. How do I fix this? Ive updated it and messed around a bit but I cant figure it out.

SOURCE: acer crystal eye webcam cant use in yahoo messenger

Some newer cams are not compatible with Yahoo, check here to make sure yours is. If not (too new) then try a 3rd party software to run it through... I've used a free fun one called 'ManyCam' , if you run your laptop cam through that it should work on yahoo messenger.

Good luck!

Hi

The problem is with Camera driver.

Please uninstall the driver from Add/Remove Programmes and reinstall from media given by manufacture or download the latest driver from manufacture web site.

Hope it will work fine.

SOURCE: crystal eye webcam for acer aspire 6920G says camera not found

hey, I had the same problem, I've got an Acer Aspire 6920 and I swapped out Vista that was on it for Windows XP

I went to the link you posted but it just goes to acer.com
so I figured I'd try something

if you go to acer aspire 6920 drivers, you can only pick Vista and Windows 7, and not Windows XP

instead, pick 6530 drivers (older acer) and pick the Bison driver:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Camera/CCD_Suyin_2.0.8.3.zip?acerid=633639858186446758&Step1=Notebook&Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%206530&OS=V10&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_7

Install it (with or without installing the previous Crystal eye, doesn't matter, and it will work properly

How to use webcam on acer aoi-301 labtop

Check this first: Certain Acer laptops come with a built-in Webcam called the "Acer Crystal Eye." This Webcam is located in the center of your lid just above your LCD screen. Those models that possess this integrated Webcam also have a program with the same name. This "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" program allows you to record video through your Webcam and save it on your hard drive.

Step 1 Click "Start," "All Programs," "Acer Crystal Eye Webcam" and click the program shortcut of the same name. This opens up the Webcam where you can see yourself, but it hasn't started recording yet.
Step 2 Click the video camera icon, which is the one second from the left under the video display. This starts recording the video.
Step 3 Click the video camera icon again to stop recording and save your video. You can also delete the video by clicking the clip's thumbnail on the bottom panel and clicking the trashcan icon.
Step 4 Locate the video file on your hard drive in your "My Videos" folder, which can be found inside your "My Documents" folder.

    Cannot find the icon or whatever in order to use the crystal eye

    Right click on an open space of your desktop. Select New>Shortcut.

    When the Create Shortcut window comes up, click Browse.

    Double-click "Computer".

    Double-click "Acer (C:)" or your C: drive. It may not be named Acer.

    Double-click "Program Files".

    Double-click "Acer Crystal Eye webcam".

    Click "Acer Crystal Eye webcam" next to the small icon. (NOTE: Do not select the one that just says "Crystal Eye". It is only an icon, not the program.)

    Click OK.

    Back at the Create Shortcut window, click Next.

    Type in whatever name you want to give, or leave the default as is.

    Click Finish.

    Icon appears on desktop. Double-click the icon to begin the program.
