    Hello,

    I've got a problem with my Orbicam webcam on my acer laptop. It didn't worked fine, so I've send my computer back to the manufacture (along with some other problems :p ). When it came back, he wasn't formatted, the orbicam software didn't worked anymore with the new webcam. But the orbicam works, no problem. Now, i've formatted myself, and I don't have drivers for it, i've tried the old one (before the format) but they don't work, I've downloaded new one from the acer support, i've searched google with the hardware id, installed logitech quickcam,...
    Nothing worked, the logitech quickcam software works, but when I start it, it says I'm using the Microsoft default (UVC) drivers. The the screen of quickcam pops up and shows a blue background in place of the campicture. I can take pictures anyway, I can see them in my folder, but I don't see any picture in the software. (quickcam 1150).
    I also installed software from the panamawebsite, but nothing :( .


    Here is the hardware ID:
    Windows explorer says I'm using a "USB-videocamera"

    Does somebody have a suggestion?

    No, and the webcam works fine when I use him on Messenger or through Windows Explorer, but I can't change any settings of it or record a movie :)
