I recently purchased an Acer Aspire 150-1570, and have been very happy with it ...until today.
The PC comes with a built-in webcam, Acer's "Crystal Eye Webcam". Haven't had any problems with it.
I'm running Windows XP Home and recently did a windows update.
Today, however, when I went to use it, I immediately got a "Blue Screen of Death" from Windows, with the following Stop error:
0x0000007E
0xC0000005
0xEC171B86
OxEBFCF9FC
0xEBFCF6F8
snp2uvc.sys - Address: EC11A90B base at EC111000 Datestamp 47009ae
This is one of the driver files for the crystal eye webcam
dated 5/16/08 v5.8.33.1
Thinking that this was a driver problem, I uninstalled the device and reinstalled the latest version of the driver which I downloaded from the ACER website. That didn't cure the problem. I then tried to restore the driver back to the original driver version that came with the PC when I bought it - same result. So, now I'm kind of stumped.
I'm suspecting that windows update may have caused this, but don't know what the solution is.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
