Hi,

Go to Control Panel > Device manager > right click on web cam > check for drivers online. This may be the problem, if the driver is out of date the cam can stop working.

hope this helps

Do you have any other software that uses the webcam? I've got an acer aspire laptop too and had that once. Check on the task manager and see if there's any program that's using the webcam. Then try restarting your laptop.

And yeah, as what mimi7 said, check for the newest updates for your laptop's webcam driver.
