First off, apologies if this is the wrong forum, I didn't see a specific forum for laptop hardware. Anyway, I have an Acer TravelMate 8204WLMi laptop. It comes with an Acer Orbicam. My orbicam is not working, and when I try to open it, I get the following message:
"Camera is in use by another applicaton."
I think the problem may have started when I plugged in a digital camera (canon). Since then, it seems as if the USB drivers are still looking for the Canon, rather than the Orbicam. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the orbicam, and system restore isn't an option because this was over six months ago and I would lose too much.
BTW, Windows XP Pro.
Any feedback is very much appreciated... Please please please don't make me have to call Acer tech support... =]
