Ez-Buildet Anf Acer W3 Cameras

Does anyone with an Acer W3 use the built in cameras with EZ-Bulder? I just picked one up to be my embedded robot brain, and when I try to use either camera I get an error at any resolution.

The cameras do work in EZ Face and the built in camera apps. Interestingly, the first time I used the built in app it asked permission to access the camera. ARC did nit and I can't figure out how to grant it (this is my first experience with Windows 8.1 and so far I am not impressed, at least on a touch screen only device). I am nit surre if the permission thing is relevant since the cams work in EZ Face.

Below is the error when running ARC as administrator. Much smaller message when running as user:

3/8/2014 11:20 AM - Error Initializing Camera: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component. at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR(Int32 errorCode) at .(IAMStreamConfig , String , Object ) at .(Size ) at EZ_B.Camera.StartCamera(ValuePair videoCaptureDevice, Control processedPreviewControl, Control realtimePreviewControl, Int32 captureWidth, Int32 captureHeight).
