Built in webcam is no longer connect in Vista

My WEB CAM need to connect with my friends.  It's a built in cam - wsb yet I can have video calls and on the menu, there is no mention of webcams not workng or connection!

Webcam has disappeared and I have the video instead. My web cam icon is on my friend's computer, but not on mine, and we cannot communicate wth each other. Just happened - without warning. Using WiFi or Modem. Same results!

  • My dell inspiron 530 built in webcam is not detected on Windows Vista

    Since my computer crashed and I had to re - install all the CD that came with my computer, the built-in webcam and microphone can not be detected by the computer.  I think that the driver can be in a place where the computer does not find it.  Can anyone offer me any advice?  It has been a long time and I really miss my webcam and the ability to use my Audacity to record my own music.

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the computer number?

    I suggest you try to download and install the latest driver for the Dell link and check support if it helps.

    Try to download the driver from the following link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04?c=us&l=en&s=bsd& ~ ck = mn

  • Qosmo G40 - built Chicony Webcam incompatible with windows live messenger

    I can't have the built-in webcam to work on my brand new G40 - 108 with Windows Live Messenger. I get the following message appears when you try to set up "audio and video setting" the Herald: "Windows cannot connect to this webcam. Close any program that may be using this webcam and restart the wizard."

    He connected with technical support from Toshiba, which were also unable to solve the problem. We have tried to disable both webcam at startup apps. If both executed at startup, the chicony software does not work.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'll update this post if I get a resolution on their part.

    Thank you!

    Yes I have a solution.
    Remove the old software and the driver for the system.
    Go to the Toshiba European page and download the latest software for a chicony and the driver.
    Then install on the laptop and enjoy.

    Notes; Restart the laptop everytime after reinstalling the driver.

    The methods below are for Windows 7 - Vista and XP are similar.

    Vista references apply to Windows 7.

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and any software control of the 'IF' camera, there is
    everything for Windows 7.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    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).

    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.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6t - 6 c 00. I've upgraded to windows 7 ultimate which I had windows 7 Home premium that I could use the webcam, but now it displays an error when I open cyberlink youcam "warning, no webcam detected.

  • With Windows 7 or 8 on my 2710p (built in webcam), the camera driver says "HP Webcam not found"

    I had the webcam on my 2710p with Windows 7 running for a while, but after I plugged an external webcam (I think it's marked Microsoft), it's almost as if my built in webcam dissappeared.  I tried to format the computer to Windows 7 and now Windows 8 (the two 32-bit), hoping that a new facility would solve the problem, but when I try and install the driver of webcam sonix from the page of drivers hp for the 2710p (with W7 Home Premium 32 bit drivers), it says "HP Webcam has not found! Please connect the HP webcam and then run Setup again. "The only unknown device in my device manager is the PCI controller, I don't really like.

    What happens here? I'm pretty tech literate, but I'm stumped here.

    Webcams are fragile and I suspect yours is dead. I think that it is a coincidence that it happened while you were using an external webcam.

  • Windows 8 cannot find the built-in webcam?

    Hello

    I bought recently are about a week, my laptop Alienware M18x. and the integrated webcam can be found.

    The first day when buying it, it worked (the webcam to take a photo of profile), but since then, he has not. My computer is running on Windows 8, so when I select the Webcam app, it says "Connect a camera."

    I also tried different ways to have my camera works (for example trying to use it on Skype and things like that), they all say that I have no webcam plugged in, when it's a built-in Web camera.
    So, how can I do so that my webcam can be found? I would like to talk to my friends on Skype with him soon!
    Thank you!

    Yes.
