  He says 'webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I used the Vista 32 software as default driver

  Thank you

  Hello

  I completely agree with Akuma you should try Windows 7 beta driver for the Chicony webcam from the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  But do not forget that Windows 7 isn't out yet so it s a little difficult to get drivers tested for it.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings.

• Re: Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E) - Webcam driver open fail

  I had to replace the hard drive on my PSAJ4E of the A300 and when I reloaded Vista 32 and install all drivers hardware Toshiba everything went well except for a Chicony webcam.

  The side menu is there but it won't work, giving a "driver webcam open fail." "Please restart camera or computer" error.

  I updated the Bios to 4.20
  I first used the original Toshiba, the 20080428125023 webcam driver download (V1.07.175).
  I tried with 'closed the cover 3/4 '.
  I have searched and read dozens of similar problems. I've tried a few, even edit the ini setting. Nothing helps.
  I even tried drivers XP (V1.7.144.0611), 32-bit and 64-bit versions and even a driver from the gateway. Nothing seems to work for this cam.

  What now?

  I also now get "the requested section is not found in the INF file" when I try to uninstall and reinstall the driver through Device Manager.
  I have the choice of
  6.198.1.0
  6.2.208.424
  6.2.238.1217
  all give the same error...

• Satellite A300 - 1 5: webcam has stopped working - Webcam driver open fail

  Hello

  features of my laptop here: ([A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]) for any need details...

  The problem is simply, the webcam has stopped for some reason, an error messeage said "driver fail open Webcam. "Please restart camera or computer.

  I noticed that whenever I put the computer in mode "sleep" I was getting on the bar notification says "USB device not recognized..." I was not aware of what it was - he thought because of the mouse USB is connected... but I think that its related to the camera...

  the software is installed, but camera does not work and cannot allow him... I download the latest driver from the toshiba site, but still does not...

  Currently, my laptop runs Vista HP SP2 32-bit, Windows defender enabled, Windows Firewall enabled, the Windows UAC enabled, Ani-Virus of Kaspersky 2009 Enabled. I only use Windows Live Messenger (which I think to date, version: 14.0.8089.726) I used camera with, I quite using recognition of faces a long time ago and rarely use the webcam... I didn't install or update all drivers and used to have the laptop works perfectly...

  So what happened now?

  Hello

  I had a similar error message and might solve this problem by disabling startup webcam software.
  In msconfig-> Start Up tab I have disabled the Chicony webcam software.
  This prevents automatic loading.
  I don t use MSN but Skype and the Chicony webcam software is always off (unsigned) if Skype is running.

  Maybe you should try that too.

  In addition, you can try this:
  Go to Device Manager, mark the webcam (peripheral video imaging peripheral USB) and removed from the list of devices.
  Then restart the laptop and wait until the webcam is recognized again.

  Then test it.
