Win7 Install on AOD250 & Webcam Success

Took delivery of my new AOD250-1151 yesterday.
Had Win7 installed and configured to preference within 45mins. (Boot from USB.)
The OS (Build 7600) automatically installed the drivers for everything, including a "USB Camera", so the webcam was properly accounted for in Device Manager. But it wouldn't work,

Today I downloaded, installed and uninstalled multitude of drivers for the webcam, and I finally found one that worked: The Vista driver for the LiteOn camera from the Acer website.
The filename is Camera_liteon_0.73_Vistax86XPx86_A.zip.
It can be found by using the Acer (I was on the US site) driver download system, and selecting the AOP531h netbook, and then selecting one of the 32-bit Vista OS versions. (The LiteOn driver is listed between the Chicony and Suyin drivers, neither of which worked.)

Or here: http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...Aspire One&Step3=AOP531h&OS=V02&LC=en&SC=PA_6

Hope this helps someone else!

Seems to work on the A150 as well, provided it is run as Vista

 

Yes, finally a working webcam on Windows 7 with AOA150.

Using "Camera_liteon_0.73_Vistax86XPx86_A.zip" run as compatible as Vista. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles ... en&SC=PA_6

Then go to Program files, Acer Crystal Eye, and run the .exe

You don't need to install anything else.
