I'm getting desperate. I have an accer aspire with built in webcam. It used to work just fine, then quit. At first disabling then re-enabling the driver worked. Then I had to start uninstalling and reinstalling the driver every few days. Then every time I turned off the computer. Now even that doesn't work. according to control panel the cam is functioning normally. I am beyond frustrated. What do I do?

Hi christamomof3

Firstly, try using System Restore to a date when it worked perfectly, to see if that helps.

If this has no affect, then backup all your data and reinstall Windows (it's a pain, I know, but can resolve most problems). If it still fails to work, then the webcam itself will have failed, or possibly the connector has worked loose.

If it is still not working, then you will need to contact Acer support (if you're still under warranty) or visit your local PC store who should be able to help.
