"Driver Webcam Fail open. Please restart camera or computer. »

I installed 7 Ultimate and this driver has stopped working, I contacted Support technique Gateway and was informed that since I did not upgrade directly from gateway which I had to ask the third party provider to help... Any advise on this?

Thank you!!

The third-party provider made the webcam. You must try to locate their Web site for Win 7 drivers.

  • Code for a Chicony 2.0 webcam, declaring: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer. »

    I have a M-6752 catwalk model who had a webcam chicony 2.0 integrated. Recently I started to receive an error message stating, "driver Webcam open fail. Please restart camera or computer. "I tried to uninstall, change and repair the pilot, as well as uninstall the program and replace offline without success. Are there any suggestions as to why this device has stopped working and how do I fix the problem? When I bought my laptop it had windows vista Home premium installed on it. At this point I don't know what to do other that perhaps do a restart of the system and see if it helps maybe or perform a factory reboot and operate as I had when I first bought it. Any suggestions on this subject?

    As you said, he has worked in the past, I think a system restore can be of help to you.
    Please see this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/System-Restore-frequently-asked-questions

    However, if it's really the real physical hardware that went wrong, then you need to talk with the gateway. If it were an external camera, I would say that to visit the manufacturer's website, but as it was built into the computer, I'd say your best bet is with bridge.

    Hello

    Go Device Manager... Sound, video and game controllers, and see if you have triangles yellow error next to your audio devices...

    My guess would be that you need to update the drivers for your audio devices.

    You should be able to find the drivers + Support Web site for your computer model...

    If not, find the number\model Audio chip and watch there chip manufacturers website for updates...

    I don't know if the audio problem is a single chip, or is part of your graphics device...

    If you don't find anything wrong in the audio, you can check that.

  • CD rom drive won't open, please help

    Hello

    I read the other posts, tried the paperclip had thing open, but when I re-powered, the reader is closed, and now he's stuck again. It will not eject through 'my computer '. Trying to eject the results in the player made a noise like it wants to open, but is not, then a green light flashes 3 times. I checked the Device Manager, who says "this device is functioning."  It's a Sony CD-RW/DVD CRX330E. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Try again the trombone - remove the disk in the drive (if it exists) and see if the drive will be
    open correctly.

    Sometimes they get stuck. There is a small hole on the front of the CD drive that you can stick a
    a paper clip that will release him and the reader to open.

    =================================

    Check with Sony for other possible solutions. Also check with the Mycelial forums for help
    with your model DVD.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    If you have problems with the drive after getting to open:

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as

  • Driver webcam has been removed from the Dell computer and now am unable to fix it.

    Original title: Webcam Dell problem

    Hello

    I have laptop Dell Inspiron N411Z. Dell did not provide users with any webcam device drivers and windows update does not install the drivers by itself. In addition, it happened that windows update installed the driver webcam last time and webcam works for two days after that I don't know how but the driver has been removed, or I don't know exactly what happened.

    If call us Dell they ask us to install Dell central webcam which has nothing to do with driver (I don't know what kind of support they have).  If there is no driver Dell webcam central does nothing.

    I don't know exactly how it goes, but if windows update installs the driver which means driver exists. If anyone would be able to send me or give me a link to the Dell webcam driver?

    I hope that Microsoft would be able to help me with this. I tried what you might think. I installed windows several times. There is no imaging device in Device Manager in case someone wants me re-install the drivers that I said before windows ever installed the drivers. I just need an .exe file that runs my webcam.

    Does anyone know how to fix this

    Hi mate

    This message might appear because of some problems of compatibility between the software of the webcam and the 3rd party software such as Skype, Live messenger, etc.

    In your case I recommend you remove the software for the webcam of the Setup again.
    Then clean the OS using CCLeaner.
    After that, you could reinstall the webcam software and must clear the webcam software in msconfig--> startup.

    This prevents the software from loading automatically.
