Acer Aspire 5052 orbicam problem

I have no idea why my orbicam isnt working, Ive updated the Suyin drivers but for some reason the camera isn't working. Its a newish laptop which i upgraded from xp to vista if that helps. When i open the orbicam application I get an error message reading: "Acer OrbiCam application has stoped working". In MSN when i got to set up the webcam it detects it but it oly show this random picture.

Please help soon, I despirately want o get the camera working.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Acer Aspire 5052 orbicam problem

Try a manual installation. You should know where the drivers were (what folder) extracted. If you do not know, download and install them again, observe where they are extracted (ex. C:\Drivers).

For manual install of drivers, use this guide:
