Can't find the webcam in Windows 7 / Ubuntu 10.04

Hi,

I recently installed Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 on my Acer Aspire One AOA150-BK. Everything works fine under both operating systems, except the webcam: the OS doesn't see it. I already searched for drivers on the Acer website, but Acer only supplies drivers for the original OS that came with the Aspire One when I bought it in 2008 (Windows XP). Can anybody help me out here?

Thanks!

 

When you say Win7 doesn't see it, do you mean it's not appearing in device manager at all? or just that the drivers aren't installed?

 

Hello,

I am having the same issue, when you look in the device manager i cannot see any image device e.g the webcam, i have tried install all the relivant web cam applications off acer website with no joy. I have an Acer 4741g running Windows Ultimate.

Many thanks in advance...

Cheers,
Mike
