Acer aspire one netbook webcam and windows 7

I have an Aspire One that I bought in June, and after some problems with windows XP, I upgraded my OS to Windows 7, and, like you, I lost the use of my web cam. Unfortunately, when I tried your Crystal Eye solution, it isn't recognizing that I have a web cam. It has been a part of my computer since it was originally constructed by the Acer manufacturer, and it seems to be unable to be recognized by windows 7 or this Crystal Eye patch program. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem. I looked on the acer web side and it says aspire one (150) not compatible with win 7 (but works fine under XP).

I find all works well under win 7 except the web cam.

Under devices installed, the web cam is shown as a USB device.

Rather than have the cam do nothing, I installed a program called "Security Monitor Pro" which can read multiple USB cams and act as a security device by recoding video. You can even take snaps.

Downloading the trial version enables you to select your USB cam device and then presto, you get a image from the cam.

To get the full version you will need to cough up about $90.

I did notice an earlier version 2.41 on the internet was popular with people.

Perhaps there are also other software programs that read USB cam devices. Will need to do a search.

Good Luck,

J.Q.C.

I did the same thing. After some trial and error I downloaded the Crystal eye webCam software for a netbook model that used win7 and it worked.
You have to know which model cam you have. Mine was the Shinyu (or something like that). There was also a Chicony driver.
Haven't had any luck with the mic. Shows it's working in Device manager, but doesn't work with Google video chat.
If I plug in an external, it works, but that defeats the purpose.

Hey Guys

Had the same problem with my Acer aspire one (A0531h) it originally came with XP but i formatted and installed WIN 7 which led to my losing my webcam drivers. Tried everything to no avail. Finally found a solution: go the link attached http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=3630 under applications menu download web application suites. I installed the first link and it worked.
