Thank you Incuris,

I was wondring if theres is a way we can set or confiugre the webcam driver so that it will work in xp without causing any shutdown problem. If we cant use the webcam driver, is there any other driver closest to this one but does not cause any problems? I wanted to use the webcam in xp

THank you very much for your advices

i have xp pro on my aspire 7110 with the low res oribicam which uses the bison bar drivers and software.
when i saw that in MSCONFIG startup tab.the software was checked to run a startup.and i to had some problems,but unchecking the startup box solved all the problems you are having.
now i can use my orbicam in what ever i want. MSN,movie maker and video conferencing.
if its running at startup and you go to use it you get an error message.i haven't seen that error message for ages and cam works better than i expected

Aspire Acer 5920G

I managed to install XP on my 5920G preinstalled with VISTA successfully. I downloaded all the xp drivers from www.acersupport.com.au . The system essessentiallyworks very well and smoothly except for the following hiccups:

When I check under Device Manager I noticed 3 devices under other devices wich exclaimation marks

The 3 are Base System Device
When I select the individual property under each of the highlighted Base System Device it shows
1 .PCI bus 10, device 9, function 3
2 PCI bus 10, device 9, function 2
3 PCI bus 10, device 9, function 4

All the function and short keys work except the following:
F5= I could not connect to an external projector.
I also noticed that the infra red does not work (although there is no exclaimation mark on the device driver). Finally I also notice the short cut CD buttons with blue lights do not work.

Has anyone loaded XP before? If you have can you advise on what is wrong and how can I resolve the problem?

Titus, to get your TV out to work, you don't use Fn+F5, you run nvidia display properties and run the wizard to enable the 2nd display. You should have the TV on and connected before you boot.

I have the 3 PCI device drivers not right too.
