  Hello

  Sound like there may be hardware problems so check with a real computer store
  (the advent of services internal) or the Support of Advent (see links below).

  Troubleshoot camera connection
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

  You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera (general control software
  included with the drivers and installed at the same time).

  Login as an administrator.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
  Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
  that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL
  -REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver of the camera and other partners
  the camera software (if not more recent get the same).

  Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each
  pilot.

  Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

  manually to see if their really is a more recent version (both system and the manufacturer of the device manufacturer

• Web Cam does not work on my Satellite Pro C850-10 t

  Hey, I have a Satellite Pro C850-10 t and my web cam does not work. Whenever I try to use it, it is said that the built-in cam is not connected or activated. I tried to download the drivers from the site web cam, but it does not solve the problem

  What should I do?

• Built-in Web camera

  I have an Asus laptop built in webcam. Normally, when I turn it on it has Visual recognition on it and today, instead of coming up like my cam being just about that came as a red circle with a line through it. Now me web cam does not work for MSN or Lifeframe, it won't work at all.
  My computer has also the identification of fingerprints and which does not either. Any thoughts?

  Hello

  Login as an administrator.

  These two are USB devices.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

  Look everywhere EXCEPT USB controllers for your devices and if find you them (maybe more)
  one of each)-RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL for all instances. For camera and device of FP.

  Now, moving to - right click - USB controllers UNINSTALL everything in category one at time EXCEPT the
  Category itself - REBOOT. This will refresh the USB driver stack.

  Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Do 1 above.

  USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as well as all
  USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to see if one is there.
  You can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

  also if necessary later:

  You should probably charge the device drivers and any software control of camera and even for the public Service.

  Login as an administrator.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera-
  Do the same for the device of the fingerprints.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
  software (if not more recent get the same). Repeat for FP device.

  Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Acer Aspire 4520 laptop

  Crystal Eye built in webcam
  Latest drivers and software downloaded and installed on the site of Acer for Vista 32 bit
  Uninstalled and reinstalled and Seth to run in compatibility mode Xp SP2, which is the only option available
  The webcam was working fine when XP was loaded. Format has been done and added a new installation of Vista Edition home premium
  Cam sex was not recognized, nor is he is listed as an unknown device
  The show here and with a large part of the old model Acers with crystal eye CAM modules is that device manager sees about the web cam. I tried to manually install the camera using the camera function scanner to add a new device
  By selecting the appropriate inf file and clicking ok, the box is left blank when the manufacturer of crystal eye option should be.
  There are two install files on the Acer site and I've tried both the same problem.
  External USB cameras work very well as it has been tested all first. There is no problem with the crystal eye web camera as I have already said that it worked fine with XP and no problems. So what are the options can you give me that I have not already tried short using an external webcam?

I was in the pop-up blocker and given permission, just in case this was the cause of the problem, but it still does not work.
  I tried to go back to google and when I clicked on the link live webcams came instantly, clearly, I need to do something in firefox I do not know what.
  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Thank you

• S70 satellite image quality - A - 11 H web camera is not good

  Hello

  Running windows 8.1 which came with the laptop.
  New out of the box.

  According to the title.

  I find the quality of the image of the camera very grainy color image, poor etc.

  When I start the webcam using the search bar on the right, he begins using the Microsoft application, when you access all the parameters that is available under settings/options is Photo image format, the grid lines, the location information.

  I've been in touch with Toshiba support who advised to do a refresh of laptop, I did.
  It made no difference.

  After which they asked me to find the Toshiba web camera application on your laptop, it should have been in the Program Files folder in the folder of Toshiba.
  This application does not exist on my laptop.

  Technology verified the same laptop model, that he was available, he said when he selected the webcam, he opened using Web of Toshiba, Microsoft no camera app.

  I looked at the other portable Toshiba with web cameras and found the picture quality to be better. Unable to get to settings and these computers portable on-screen and in demo mode, so locked up to a certain extent.

  I can't believe a web camera in this day and age for this value of laptop to have this bad image quality. My digital camera of 10 years ago has a better picture quality.

  I checked through the laptop, and I don't have this app installed.

  I have checked for software and drivers updated to my laptop and cannot find this application applies to my laptop. Etc drivers seem to be up to date.

  I would like to know, other users of this series S have any camera image quality problem.
  What application is used when the camera is selected, Toshiba or Microsoft.

  Is Toshiba web camera application for Windows 8.1, that I don't see not listed for 8.1
  This sounds like a hardware failure or a problem with the application/software.

  Any guidance or help on this would be appreciated, because I came to a point of the return of this laptop for a refund.

  Thanks in advance.

  D.

  Yes, I tried using FORCE!

  > Technology checked the same laptop model, that he was available, he said when he selected the webcam, he opened using Web of Toshiba, Microsoft no camera app.

  Toshiba webcam app is available for the system Win 7 but win it 8 and 8.1 of Windows system use the webcam from Microsoft to the own address application.

  > I looked at the other portable Toshiba with web cameras and found the picture quality to be better.
  Different Toshiba laptops are equipped with different webcams.
  Satellite S70 - A - 11 H was fitted with a * 0.92 mega pixel webcam *.

  For example a Satellite A660 was equipped with a mega pixel webcam_ _1.3M

  There is therefore a difference of resolution of the webcam

• Web cam or NOT

  My laptop is just more warranty and more when I tried the other day to ask this simple question to what the person in India has hung up on me.

  My sheet of statistics shows that I have a webcam and microphone at the top.  It shows the photos.

  So I installed Skype and trying to work with what I got a pop-up that no webcam was found.

  I checked help Wizard on the laptop and he indicated he was under Cyberlink software for the web cam but there is NO!

  So, how can I really know if this laptop has a webcam?

  The reason that it came even had a problem with a USB mouse. When I said I didn't have three USB ports, 6 USB hubs in Device Manager I said it was probably because of an installed webcam.

  Can someone please help.  HP is not going to I'm afraid.

  Thank you.

• USB 20.0 M pixels 6 LED Webcam Web Cam does not?

  Recently I bought this webcam for my laptop, 20.0 MEGA pixel 6 LED Webcam Web Cam camera computer. In fact, I bought two one for me and one for my son and have not been able to get them to function. When I plug the usb and microphone cable, it tells that the new hardware has been found and it is to install the software of the new device. It complements and says device is ready to be used, but the camera does not work. The microphone works without problem, I tried reistalling the device a couple of times and in different ways without success. I tried unisnstalling, resettlement, adding hardware, etc.
  The camera stands out in Device Manager as a camera USB 2.0 in imaging equipment and records of cable into the USB as a Composite USB.
  Does anyone have ideas to make the camera work? I would really appreciate it!
  Running Windows Vista thanks

  Thank you Robert Charney

  Hello

  If the webcam appears in Device Manager, idon't think that you will need special software for the cable.

  You could try the cam with Live Messenger.

  If it fails, you can get an error message more information.
