acer orbicam utility bar disappeared

Kri · 10-21-2008, 02:28 PM

Hello,
My built-in cam works (Acer laptop, 5101, WIN XP), meaning, I can take pix, but for some reason the utility bar disappeared, so I cannot change the settings.
I have been to Acer support website but there is no download for the utility bar.
Any idea what I could do? Help, please!

Try in Control Panel... there could something for your camera there.

I have already tried, there is nothing there for the toolbar. It just tests the cam, (result ok), and offers to copy pix from there elsewhere, that is all.
Other idea?

Did you downgrade? If so, try all the drivers here: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers...k/as_5100.html

For Vista you have the Camera Utility (see same link).
