  • I can't find my web cam

    OK my hard drive went and installed dell a new one now, I can't find my web cam all if on it I was just down loaded Skype it allows me to make video calls, but when I turn off Skype I can't find my web cam

    You may need to re - download your webcam software.  The driver itself is already installed and work (which explains why the other programs as Skype can use it), but if you want to use it alone, you need the Webcam video software.

    It may be available for download at support.Dell.com, or you can search the Web for your favorite software.  You remember what it was called?

    try to use "Autoruns for Windows" and check if there is a boot entry that is associated with your problem. If you do not disable an item at a time and restart the pc and isolate it.

    But assuming you used all the recovery of the samsung cd driver & the camera application should be installed in any recovery process.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Acrobat Connect Pro?

    It is in fact the question of an end user that I'm unable to answer to...

    We use Adobe Connect for online language teaching, the end user is one of the students.

    I can't find the right answer of support to give him.

    Problem:

    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe rooms but camera works very well with other software.

    Even if I knew that my old camera was working very well, yesterday I advanced and bought a new camera.

    I thought that maybe my software of the webcam may have had a problem, so I bought a unit of a different type with different software.

    Even after removing all the old software, same result:

    I assumed that the problem could be caused by my software firewall and security, so once I tried to change the permissions for Adobe and my Webcam, but that did not work.

    Once I restarted my computer just before the class, and then turned off my firewall completely, so there is no interference, but nothing helped. I'm totally stumped.

    Is there someone else has a similar problem?   Has anyone found a solution?

    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I have always restart the computer prior to class and don't open any other program other than Google Chrome.

    I have now a new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with Webcam LifeCam 3.5 software.

    I test my camera before going online.  It still works fine.   Then I stopped the program of the camera and the connection class.

    When I "connect webcam' in the room, the light on my camera (which suggests that it is under tension), but only a black image is transmitted to the House.

    I suspect that the rate is higher than 20 and is probably 30 images. It is too high for the Flash to accept.  Most webcams at 15 as the standard stream. So, you will need to call technical support Microsoft for this camera see what are the specs and how to change it.

    I see on Amazon.com, it says this: "sensor capture 720 p video true HD quality up to 30 frames per second."

    So high default value is 30 that is why you found the black box... a high frame rate.

    You must go to settings or call Microsoft to learn how to change the fps to 15. You notice it says 'up to 30 frames per second", so that tells me there is a way to change this setting.

  • successfully imported bookmarks, but just can't find my web page, navigation history

    Background:
    I stupidly pressed the Mozilla was thinking of refresh button is what is. But it's actually a self-destruct button which resets mozilla and so clears all content. Wow. Foolishly I used of course not a miracle, System Restore.
    I found the file "places.sqlite" old days and it brought everything back but NOT the browser history. This history of browser is 2 years, and I never realized how much it is important for me so far.

    Problem:
    So all I'm missing is the story of my browser.

    Attempted fixes:
    1. I then imported bookmarks backup of bookmarks in a few days on the menu via restore bookmark and same situation.

    2. I copied places.sqlite file from old firefox data and again bookmarks updated but not history.
    

    2. I searched index.dat (I guess it's history) file and found one, but it is news. None of the elders, we found.

    More info:
    NB. I have a backup file pcv mozy (3 months old, but it's OK). But how do I extract the story?
    I have win7, mozilla is the most recent version.

    Any ideas how to make my web page visited history back? I'm puzzled.

    You must be the last file places.sqlite you can find. It is the only hope for history.

    First, what is the date/time of the file in the old data of Firefox? Refresh should have set the folder of the settings later, but the effects of the Windows System Restore feature can be unpredictable.

    Second, you can see additional profiles in the Firefox profile folder. Type or paste the following text in the search box of the Windows Start menu and press ENTER to load the file:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    It should be obvious to timestamps which is the current folder. Do you see others who may have recent data?

  • where can I find the web publishing wizard

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • Programs that you have problems with Vista
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It does not come with Vista (as it did for XP or can be downloaded for XP).  Neither is it a specific download to do this with Vista only, but it can be downloaded and used in conjunction with certain versions of Microsoft Office at:http://virtual508.com/download.html (but it isn't so free either).

    I also read the following shows but don't know if it's true (but if you decide to try this, be sure to first create a Restore Point system and backup the registry just to be sure.

    Officially, MS said they took the "Web Publishing Wizard" of Vista. Well, low and behold, hacking around the registry, I found out what they were really doing with it. They renamed it to "order prints Wizard."

    And renamed the location regitry from:
    HKCU\Softw...\Explorer\PublishingWizard\PublishingWizard\Providers
    TO:
    HKCU\Softw...\Explorer\PublishingWizard\InternetPhotoPrinting\Providers

    Yes, it's that simple, just replace "PublishingWizard" with "InternetPhotoPrinting" in the reg file. And use Windows Photo Gallery to 'print' your photos to your gallery. It's the exact SAME Wizard just renamed in print!

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • where can I find adobe raw camera

    I subscribe to the monthly Adobe photshop/lightroom service. I can't seem to find a camera raw and how it gets linked to lightroom or photoshop, so I can use it right from those or one of these editing programs.

    LR and ACR that exact same engine use. If you have LR, you don't really need to ACR. Why are you trying to go from LR to ACR?

    There is a way around to get there, but I guess this isn't really the answer to your question. BUT just in case it is, here is how you go LR ACR.

    In LR, click the Photo > edit in > open as smart object in Photoshop

    In PS, discovers the layers panel, where you can see the image with a smart object icon

    Double-click the layer and it will open the image in ACR

    All the settings slider to LR develop module will in ACR where you can make other adaptations
