    Hello everyone on the forum,
    well guys im having very irritating problem with my AAO.
    i cant see web cam in my computer.
    2nd when i try to find new hardware in control panel it dont find any new hardware.
    3rd i even tried re-installing the driver from e-recovery and when i try to reinstall driver it says
    PLUG YOUR USB WEB CAM IN USB SLOT...
    now what should i do to install web cam ?
    i was using it last nite and it was working fine on yahoo messenger and on msn messenger.
    today when i woke up instead of "ACER CRYSTAL EYE WEB CAM" i was having "USB VIDEO WEB CAM" this name on icon.
    and when i try to run web cam it just showed me black screen nothing else.

    after that i m having a headache trying to install the driver and i couldnt do so...
    HELP ??? :cry:
    what do you think. Is there any hardware problem or software ? :oops:
    thanks
