  • Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

    Hello world

    I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

    '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

    What the hell can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
    The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
    Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

    However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

    You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
    After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

    Hello!

    The webcam on my Satellite L300 works very well so I can't tell what is the reason for this, but have you tried to update to Windows Live Messenger? See the Microsoft Web site for an update.

    In addition, you must update the driver for the webcam that you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A100: webcam works does not for windows live messenger on Vista

    I recently lost my picture when working for video calls in windows live messenger, the sound of two ways and I can see them, but no one can see me.
    I also bought an external webcam, and it does not work either.

    When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly.
    I tried to update the drivers but they are up-to-date.
    I wonder if it's a problem of Windows live or Toshiba.
    I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the new version of messenger.

    > I also bought an external webcam and it doesn t work either.
    > When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly

    For me, it looks like a windows system problem.
    Usually two webcams operate independently from each other and so I don t think that it is a webcam driver problem I think that it s windows or windows live messenger problem
    Maybe something confused keys registry or files may be some updates to update or similar

    In your case, I recommend you to uninstall the software of webcam software, internal external webcam and the windows live messenger.
    Then, you must clean the BONES and the registry tool like CCLeaner cleaning, for example. It the free tool.

    After this, reinstall the Chicony webcam software and test functionality without installation of windows live messenger.
    If the webcam will be functions then you could install the windows live messenger again.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

    Also this message...

    * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    * HELP! *

    Thank you

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.

  • Qosmo G40 - built Chicony Webcam incompatible with windows live messenger

    I can't have the built-in webcam to work on my brand new G40 - 108 with Windows Live Messenger. I get the following message appears when you try to set up "audio and video setting" the Herald: "Windows cannot connect to this webcam. Close any program that may be using this webcam and restart the wizard."

    He connected with technical support from Toshiba, which were also unable to solve the problem. We have tried to disable both webcam at startup apps. If both executed at startup, the chicony software does not work.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'll update this post if I get a resolution on their part.

    Thank you!

    Yes I have a solution.
    Remove the old software and the driver for the system.
    Go to the Toshiba European page and download the latest software for a chicony and the driver.
    Then install on the laptop and enjoy.

    Notes; Restart the laptop everytime after reinstalling the driver.
