Display of the webcam in my computer - Vista

How configure you the built in webcam to be displayed in the list of my computer connected hardware, alongside the C: drive / drives and external hard drives etc. The laptop is a Toshiba satellite l300 and the built in web cam is a Chicony usb 2.0, I have all recently installed drivers.
Summer search this feature for a while now, but I can say that the option is available in XP, not Vista.
Y at - it a program or a feature that can be installed to view the webcam in my computer?

Hello James,.

Thank you for posting.  The first thing we need to do is to ensure that your drivers of the device have been loaded properly.  Click Start, then right click on computer and then click Properties.  Then, click on Device Manager and scroll through the list and make sure your camera as a device installed without any indicator error.  Tell us what you find.

Thank you

Jack

  • How can I update the driver for the webcam running Windows 98 > vista windows?

    Hello

    How could I go to get a driver who runs a
    Home QuickCam vs Webcam on my Windows Vista computer? I found the webcam in an old car for scrap, but the software is not compatible with my Vista. Pleassssse! help > I been up all night looking for the web and gettn dressing!  Thank you, Faye

    Get the manufacturer, the brand and model of the Webcam and go to the manufacturer's technical support group and see if they have Vista drivers available for download.  If they do not exist, I'm afraid you're out of luck. If available, download and install and you should be running.  But you should contact the manufacturer.  Given the age, it is very likely that there's no Vista drivers for this device.  There is no realistic way to do your own drivers, unless you are a developer of professional pilot (and even then, it would be not possible).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • multicolored lines running through the screen of my computer Vista laptop window up and down

    multicolored lines on the screen of my laptop window Vista from the top to down manufacturing

    blurr photos and texts.
    seem as if a screen is placed on the desktop.

    This could be a hardware problem unfortunately (has no module or graphic display error).

    Is the problem if you start in safe mode?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    There is a glimmer of hope that it could be a driver problem. If it's OK in safe mode, then it is to try a system restore to a well known date or try to update the graphics driver.

    original title: How do I get rid of non-existent hard disk that appears on my computer screen?

    I have a local disk (q) that loads automatically on my folder "Computer" [the folder that shows all hard drives and peripheral storage removable]. The drive does not exist and when I double click above it says "Q:\\ is not accessible access is denied." I unplugged my external hard drives, and these drives disappear from the screen by this disc remains still.  How can I get rid of him?

    I found an article from third party in which people have found a solution:

    Hide the Local disk (q) added by Office 2010 Beta

    I hope this helps! (you can back up the registry first)

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk

    I read this from an old thread in this forum.
    Here is the suggested solution...
    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.

  • Properties view displays all the settins, theme shows right and when I leave my computer on some time it crashes. How can I fix it with the windows CD? Compatibility Wizard says bad ini file__

    When I try to change the background, display shows theme instead, properties and when I leave my computer on at a certain time, it freezes. What can I do to fix this? How can I use windows CD to repair, when I put the CD and you press the 'r' key, nothing happens, please help?

    The lack of tabs in display properties usually indicates a malware infection. First run the scans and do not skip the preparatory work. If the machine stands (not frozen) in Safe Mode (where you'll be scanning), it is also a good indication of infection. Regarding the CD does not start, you probably don't have the computer configured to boot from the optical drive. But no matter, because enter the Recovery Console (which is what happens when you press 'R' from the XP installation disk) won't be useful in your situation anyway.

    Go through these stages of systematically General malware removal:

  • No display at all on computer vista after a repair done

    My Gateway desktop computer was working, but I wanted to get it back to factory default so I use the option "Repair my computer" to restore from the recovery (without drive) drive. The screen worked well throughout the process. I saw when it was installing drivers & I even went as far as select a wallpaper when asked to do so. However, the screen is just deleted & nothing will show on the screen even if the power led lights up. The fans are spinning & systems looks like it works, but no display. It has an integrated video card. Help, please.

  • copying a disc - __copied photos on computcomputer with Windows XP-computer Vista laptop and will not open the program

    Copied pictures on a computer using Windows XP

    Disc will not load on my laptop with Vista

    Is there a program to load the disk or is it just copies of some images.  So just copies, then the disc will not 'load' because there is no program to run.  Insert the disc in the drive and click Start / computer / player Disck and right click it and select Explorer.  You should be able to see the folders and files with your photos.  You can or the disc appears to be blank or missing?

    If the problem is that by clicking on the file does not open a program to display it, and then confirm that your Vista machine has software installed to read the file type of the images (they may require that you get a different software to view what they are).

    If this isn't the problem, try to copy some files from the disc to your desktop computer and try to open them from there and see if that makes a difference.  If so, then there is a problem with the drive to recognize the types of files, and then by selecting the appropriate program.  You should maybe go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive and download any driver, firmware and suitable for the machine AND your version of Vista.  Install it and see if that makes a difference.  Check out a few other discs and see if you have the same problem with them or if it's only this one disc.

    What type of disc is (CD, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD,...)?  Confirm that you can read stll the drive on the XP machine.  Do you get the error on each machine and if so what do say EXACTLY?

    I hope this helps.  If not, tell me what happened with each step and try to answer all my questions.

    Good luck!

    Your machine is still under warranty, so you should take it to your local Apple store for repairs. Function late in January, you bought it, you still have phone without support. If you can't find any help on the Apple Store, then I don't know what you expect to find here. We have no way to check for problems you have described or any additional hardware, etc.
