I would first check the path/directory that video is recorded to, uncheck the playback after recording box and if this does not work you need to update the drivers.

If you have a WEB camera you need to configure your video Webcam settings. Open Skype click on Tools - Options - Video Settings - select your Webcam model. When you open Skype click on Tools - Options - Audio Settings and click on Microphone and select the microphone you are using and save the setting.
If you still have problems with your mic. then - To test if the microphone is working, go to Start - Programs - Accessories - Entertainment - Sound Recorder and record you voice. Can you see your voice recording, the green line should vary as you speek.
If you see a flat green line, then the microphone is either faulty or the wrong microphone is selected.

Dear Sir,

Acer Aspire Model generally comes with a bison web cam driver.
To use the web cam search for an application that installed in program files.In windows Xp web cam can be used by double clicking camera icon present in my computer. If you are using windows vista or other operating system you need an camera application software,to use it. Without application software you can use your web camera only in messengers,for example yahoo messenger. If u had an yahoo messenger login and click on view my web cam,now you can see your face in your laptop.So first thing is search for an application software installed on your laptop.


good luck

1. Check the device manager to see if there is a conflict.
2. Reinstall the driver
3. Special Note: Acer actually put 3 different brands of cameras in that model. So, if the laptop or manual doesn't tell you which one was installed in your particular machine, you may need to install each of the three drivers one at a time to see which one registers and gets the camera working.
4. Just in case you were interested as I would be... Acer does not consider this laptop to be Windows 7 ready.


Good luck and Merry Christmas.
