Vista - Orbicam stopped working

I try to launch Orbicam in Vista Premium Home verison and get a notice that
"OrbiCam application has stopped working". There is no suggestion of a
solution. Can anyone hep. This is on an Acer 5100 laptop. Thanks.

there ARE Vista drivers for Acer Orbicam. What is the exact model
NAME? 5100 is common to a few different models.

I contacted Acer. The solution is to remove all files or sub-folders fromthe
Pictures folder. OrbiCam then works fine! Genie56

Genie56,
I have this same problem that Barb Bowman wrote about on an Acer Aspire
5610Z Orbicam. When you say remove all files or sub-folders from the Pictures
folder, do you mean the "My Pictures" folder on my desktop? If so, where
would I store all of my photos? Or is there another pictures folder I need to
delete from? Thank you very much, Acer gave me no help when I tried them!

This solution did not work for me, now a little box that only has an X in the
corner comes up saying this when I open the app:

The orbicam itself works because I use it with msn messenger no problem.
Before I had the same problem that this thread was started about, but now
that I removed everything form pictures it does this, plz help.
