webcam (acer orbitcam)

Hi All,



after installing all the recommended updates (33 of them)for my new laptop

(VISTA Prem Home)

my acer webcam stopped working. Does any have a fix for this. I have tried

updating the drivers and ran the xp compatible mode etc. to no avail.

yea, i'm having some similar probs. i got this laptop about 3 months ago, it

has a built in webcam, but about a month ago, it stopped working randomly. if

i want a guarantee that it'll work, then i have to restart the computer,

which is obviously very inconvenient when i'm trying to use it. any

suggestions?
