Error for built in webcam Acer Aspire 5570

well i had this problem and been trying to fix it for few hours. there are three webcam drivers available for download in acer website. i tried all three of them, it doesn't work. finally i formatted windows and installed the logitech driver first. it works after rebooting.. my guess is, you can't install all three of them for testing because it would conflict with each other?

heres the error message:
Video Preview Failure
Creation of the video preview failed.
Please check the device connection and make sure that the device is not being used by another application or user.
