ACER Crystal Eye and Windows 7

[Babaero666]

Hi All,

I updated my ACER Aspire One 751 with Windows 7 HOME Premium. So far the system is running. Only the webcam gives me a lot of trouble.
It was crystal clear while using Vista Home Premium, but now I have a fuzzy display, see attachment.
Using the program or yahoo messenger can open the WebCam, with SKYPE I have only a black screen.
I installed the latest driver for the Cam - nothing
I ran a compatibility test - result the Cam is incompatible
I contacted the Support of ACER - waste of time, no reply at all :devil:

Is anybody able to give me a hand to run my cam again ?????


HELP !!!!!!
Thanks for all you guys posting threads in the forum

Have you tried reinstalling in compatibility mode?

 

[Babaero666]

Yep,

I tried ALL settings for various OS, but the display of the Cam is still fuzzy.

Have a look at some newer models that use it, and you might find a decent driver.

What make is the camera?

 

[Babaero666]

The camera is Suyin WebCam
I installed the latest driver for the Cam provided by ACER download.

Still cam display is fuzzy

Thanks

Hi,

I'd run the program as admin - no change.
Attached the screenshot of my device manager

Thanks

Try the attachment, and report back...

Sorry man,

you spend so many time but it still the same.
Fortunately NOW my WebCam is recognized by SKYPE and Yahoo, but with this driver I can not start the program from the START menu, only from the messenger.
I did everything like before, run ADMIN, set up compatibility mode, the best result is:
no ADMIN and Vista SP1 setting, display still fuzzy and not adjustable, but transmission of the image is continuously -on other settings are several interruptions in the real image transmission.

Thanks for all effort you put in my case.

The last one was for Aspire Notebooks, which I thought was worth a try, this one is for Netbooks, which you could try for nothing....

Thanks for the driver,

installed it, can run the cam from START menu,
the image is slightly more clear and I can adjust the GAIN to get a better image, but it is still not true image.
Run as ADMIN - getting more worst
Best result is Windows XP SP2

Thanks Volker

Just downloaded the new BIOS for the ACER 751, but I am not sure to run it, dont know after the BIOS is still running, heard some rumours that the installation of a new BIOS can be fatal.
