    Tezza, did this work?  For most people the problem seems to be that the camera is gone from device manager, either completely or just showing up as a USB device with a failed descriptor so there is no possibility of updating or installing drivers plus of course Acer doesn't seem to offer any drivers and have no idea how their camera actually works at all, it's apparently just luck to them.
