"Close other programs using the Webcam" trying to open webcam

Original title: WebCam

I have a HP TouchSmart with built in webcam Sonix. If I run Skype I can't play the video because I get a message 'Close other programs with the help of the Webcam'.
The other program that uses the Webcam is of Cyberlink Youcam. If I close Skype and open Cyberlink, I get a similar message.
Of course, I don't mean to run both programs at the same time, but I don't know how do to find out what program the computer think using the Webcam.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ron,

Sorry for the late reply.

I suggest you ask the question in HP support forums to see if there is any type of users who have the same problem.

    Hello

    ·         What is the brand and model of the webcam?

    ·         If it works well before? If so, were there recent changes made on the computer before the show?

    Follow these steps and check if that helps.

    Step 1:

    There is usually a ring or something raised around the lens. try adjusting the focus of the webcam. Consult the manual of the webcam or visit their support site.

    Step 2:

    I suggest to find the latest driver/software for webcam on the manufacturer's Web site and install it on the computer.

    Uninstall and reinstall the webcam from the Device Manager:

    a. open the Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click Run, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
    b. in the list of USB devices or imaging devices locate the webcam and make a right click on it and then click on uninstall.
    c. restart the computer and re-install the driver software.

    Step 3:

    Sometimes the setting the webcam may be incorrectly, you may need to change the settings and check if it helps. You can go to thought that the manual either to get in touch with the webcam or the manufacturer of the system for more support.

  • 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.

    Yesterday I installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my new laptop Sat. A300-22F as him preinstalled
    version of Windows was only 32 and I've got 4gig of RAM.

    Thus, all the drivers are installed and everything works. The driver for the webcam with the webcam program works, too.
    But when I run the facial recognition tool, an error that the webcam cannot be initialized or that
    the webcam is in use and cannot be used with the program now.

    So, no program is using the webcam. The webcam works with other tools. And in the settings of the tool face
    are the webcam, but always available, without work.

    Someone at - it an idea?

    I have the drivers of webcam directly from Toshiba.

    Thank you.

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

    Disable the webcam.
    Start button > Control Panel > Classic view > Folder Options > view > first entry,check "always show icons never thumbnails" > OK.

    Open your Webcam again. The message is passed now?
    If so, turn off the webcam.
    Back to Folder Options > uncheck the first entry "always show icons never thumbnails".

    Open the webcam again. The message comes back?
    If not, problem solved.
