Cannot use the webcam on my Satellite Pro A200

I have the Satellite Pro A200 series.

My warranty (with clips) runs out on August 7. I had probs with my webcam since I bought this laptop two years ago. I keep says it's a matter of 'software' and not covered by the warranty. I did everything what I said to do... reformatted the hard drive three times, etc., etc. In any case... I use only this laptop when I go... I checked the other day and that's the problem, now, I recovered it. It works, I can see on the webcam, but no one can see me.

I get this message that says "turn on camera"... but there is no way to turn it on and just what I do does not work. Is it not now a HARDWARE problem, with a built-in webcam If the camera does not illuminate? So it seems Staples should look like it. I'm back this week for another chance with them.

But does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Try this

* Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
* Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
* Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
* If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
* Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
* To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

If it still does not work, then get an ASP to fix it.

  • A satellite - cannot use the webcam - in use by another program?

    Sometimes a reboot works but not very often.

    The camera assistance software says "in use by another program.
    How can I find the other program so I can stop it?
    I already rebooted the software nothing works.

    Reg

    Hello

    The webcam software load automatically at the beginning of the windows to start the procedure. The program mentioned is perhaps the assistant webcam software.
    You can disable this automatic startup in msconfig.
    Type in RUN-> msconfig, go to the Startup tab and disable the webcam software.
    This prevents the start software.

    On the other hand, it could be another tool like Skype, MSN messenger or similar

  • Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
    NETGEAR DG834G

    Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

    I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
    Thank you
    Kris

    > Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

    You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
    Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

    I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

    Hello buddy

    It is badly located now. Please try to do it once more.
    If the same thing happen there is nothing you can do. I'm not an expert for this kind of thing, but I noticed the image recovery recovery DVD will be copied to the HARD second partition disk) first and then the installation of recovery will go from there.

    If the adaptation procedure is not done on the recovery of end procedure cannot be started.
    Sorry buddy. In my opinion, you can try to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation. Take the DVD created as evidence and maybe they will order new media for free.

    Good luck!

    Thank you for your help!

    Nora

    The webcam is already installed. Central webcam is software and is also already installed. Look at the illustrations in the Quick Start Guide in the list of books below and see that the camera is located on the bezel at the top of the screen has a cover and light. Remove the cover to see if that helps. If you're still having problems, go to this site to help support more-

    Hi GVautour,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    According to the characteristics of the model number of your Acer computer, it seems that your computer does not have a built-in webcam.

    If you use an external device, you can visit the web camera manufacturer's Web site and install the latest driver on your computer.

    If you are unable to find the appropriate link, you can get back to us with the web camera brand and model number.

    Thank you.

    Please can someone help me?
    Please send me the solution?

    First of all, it would be necessary to know what laptop you have.

    Second, you should check the options in the properties of the graphics card that could help to activate the external TV output.

    Also the use of the FN + F5 key combination should help to switch to the external display!
