Camera only works in new user

banjaxx · 2008-10-23 17:35:13

On my Acer 5100 laptop (2 yrs old), since I installed Vista, the built in camera has stopped working. Note.. it works ok on a test account on the computer. Any ideas how to get it working again on my original account? Thanks Banjaxx

What are you trying to use the camera with? Is there a setting on a per account basis on whether it works or not?

Have you checked the device manager while in your account?

Is it showing the camera & no problems reported?
