Specs: Acer Aspire 5517; Windows 7 HP, X64, SP1;
The Webcam, built-in to the laptop, has worked well until recently. Now, the Acer-provided application (Acer/SuYin v. 5.0.9.1 application) can not find the Webcam. I did make sure that the Global Settings of Flash (Adobe) were OK, or at least normal, as I remember them.
Any suggestions as to the direction I should pursue? The driver says it is operating properly.

This is cool!!! I solved this myself. I went to Control Panel/Devices and Printers. I "right clicked" on Devices and "left clicked" the "Troubleshoot" listed (near the bottom along with "Properties"). It ran a short program and found that the Webcam was not running and offered to Fix It by turning it ON. I un-installed and then re-installed the software I downloaded from Acer.
It works, again!
I hope this helps someone else who might be having a similar problem.
