Why won't AIM detect my webcam?

Acer Aspire One cannot detect webcam (webcam built in)?

  • Answer:

    Yea what program are you trying to use with this web cam ? Also are you turning other programs like skype .. off before you try to use this other program ? If you still have skype open it could be taking ownership of the camera dis-allowing other programs to see this particular piece of hardware. If you have turned off any and every other program that could use the web-cam I would then try to dig into the settings of the program in question to see if you can select a camera. That's the best I can do for ya without knowing what program you are trying to use Hope this helps. Perhaps try another program that accomplishes the same task

Which program exactly can not detect the webcam ? Is there a PROGRAM(not driver) that you have in your computer that supposed to allow you to use the webcam ?
