walterg74 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey everyone! I'm setting up leopard on a new laptop computer. It's an Acer 7720, that cmes with integrated webcam. What I'm trying to figure out is why some webcams (like this one for example), works perfectly fine under iChat, with effects and everything, and yet it doesn't with other applications (like photobooth, etc.). On these other programs, when you "enable" the camera fnctions, the light on it lights up like the app has turned it on, and yet no image appears..... why is this? Is it a config problem of the apps that don't recognize the camera or is it something else? Has anyone found a solution for these type of issues? Cheers!

zeamp Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Gateway 1.3mp Webcam (Built-in) on a M6843. Lights up during installation to take user photo but nothing appears in the box. No clue why it's not working but it's not high on my priority list to look into... plus I just bought the laptop from Best Buy a few days ago.
