Hello peeps,

Yesterday I installed some drivers for my inbuilt webcam. They were removed, because I downgraded/upgraded from Vista to XP pro.

Now I have the problem, that I can open the program (yey) but when I open it, it's grey (See on Screenshot.)
I can take pictures, but they are just as grey as my screen. :cry:

Sorry if this is the wrong place.
But thanks anyway :)

Are the drivers installed properly? I wonder if reinstalling it or uninstalling and then installing again will work. Ensure you get the latest driver for Windows XP for that webcam.

I'll move onto further precautions if it doesn't work.

Forgot to say, that my computer is a Acer Aspire 5520G

I downloaded the drivers yesterday from Acer's support and service site (official driver site for Acer.)

I got the problem, that there are 3 types of drivers for the webcam, Bison, Chicony and Suyin.
So far is Bison the only I have been able to open as a program (the 2 others didn't do anything). The result was the picture above.

Edit:
I have tried a bit, and now I managed to get a black screen and it seems better in the settings, but now it get stuck when I take a picture.
