Acer Orbicam does not Work in Windows Vista Ultimate (ACER ASPIRE 5052NWXMi)

[csshyamsundar]

Hi.,

I recently bought an Acer Notebook. [ ACER ASPIRE 5052NWXMi ].
[ AMD Turion X2 @ 1.6 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM + 1 GiG RAM ( I upgraded it thro' Acer ) + ARI Radeon, 120 GiG HDD, Bluetooth and 802.11 ]

The machine came pre installed with Linux. I installed XP SP2 and was working with it for 1 month. Every piece of harware worked fine. Then finally, vista was launched.

I downloaded and ran an install for Ultimate Edition.
I downloaded ACER Upgrade Wizard for Windows Vista Machine. [ got it from Acer Europe Site ]

After all the installation., ACER ORBICAM IS DETECTED AND IS PRESENT AS "Suyin Optronics" IN DEVICE MANAGER., BUT YAHOO! or MSN wont detect the Camera.

Can anyone help. I also tried installing Bison Driver, Logitech Driver and even Envision V Cam driver ( suggested by vista )., yet no results.

:(

Have you tried the Suyin Optronics driver? My camera is a Bison and works without problem in Vista business. I got the driver from the Acer China site. I think I remember seeing a driver for the Suyin camera there. You may also want to check out Acer Europe for a driver. My Acer is a Aspire 5102 so I would guess the drivers may be different
