    Are you getting some kind of error message when trying to use the cam? If so, plug that message into Google. I've come across a lot of helpful tech forums that way and saved a load in computer repair fees. Good luck!

    Do you know your way around windows? Do you know how to get to the windows control panel window. It sounds the the diver for the camera did not install properly, some times if you remove the driver (which you can do from the control panel) and restart the computer it will find the camera and reinstall the driver.

    Let me know if you want to try this, my guess is you use vista since the laptop is new. I'll try to put a step by step for you. Personally I hate Acer, I bought an aspire last year and the screen broke and they would not replace it because it was 1 year and 2 weeks old... two weeks over the 1 yr year warranty

    Are you sure it's running Linux? You mentioned ekiga and Linux. I didn't think Acer's came installed with Linux.

    I have a acer and I love it. You should be able to take it back.By now you have had help. But for me, I love acer.

    P.S
    I use to be a recruiter for naked.com

    they suck, and they do not pay

    What operating system do you have, windows xp or vista, did you install your cam drivers properly.

    You can test to see if your cam is installed properly by going to do www.testmycam.com

    try uninstalling your webcam drivers, and reinstall it then shut down your computer and turn it back on and then go to imlive and see if you can view your cam or try testmycam.com
