Acer Aspire Crystal Eye Webcam Driver  

Thanks echrada. Im downloading the dropbox software now. Ill inform you on what happens.

Echrada, I downloaded the file and tried installing it. It is waiting for me to "Please plug-in your Acer Crystal Eye webcam device to the USB port". This seems to be going farther than any other file I have tried, but now how am I supposed to plug in the webcam when its built in?

Also, I mentioned before the my USB ports quit working around the same time as the camera did so I would be able to plug anything into them either

Therein lies your problem, the Acer Webcams are all connected internally via usb. No usb connections no Webcam. I would definitely fix the usb connection issue as that is certainly where your problem lies.

Ahhhhhh! I should have thought of that! Nice catch. But should I start a new thread about the usb problem...?

Exactly when did your USB connections blow?

Right after I upgraded. I've spent more time (and money) on trying to fix the dang usb connections. In Device Manager after I start up my computer, the connections and symbols for the usb ports are fine and look normal. Then I plug in a flash drive and one after another, they all show yellow exclamations next to them and say theyve been stopped because there was a problem. Ive tried updating all of their drivers but Im told they are all up to date. I've also ran a driver scan and it shows they are up to date. Idk what the heck the problem is here.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but I would re-install Windows 7 and then see if there are still issues. Do not use the same flash drive again as that could be what caused the problem in the first place.

echrada, I was going to try reinstalling as a last resort. That looks like what I may have to do..

NoN, how would I go about updating my chipset or making sure its up to date?
