Since the upgrade to 8.1 Win my HD 2300 webcam no longer works. The HP site and the camera box came the two compatibility to win 8 State but obviously win 8.1 did not exist at the point of tht in time.

I have 40 years of experience and have tried all the tricks in my box to tools and cannot operate.

I bought this webcam when I upgraded to Win 7 because my previous Microsoft webcam was not supported.

What I now have to buy another webcam for use with Win 8.1.

GTP29, welcome to the forum.

I read a thread that says member had installed the driver Win 7 and the webcam worked perfectly.  I suggest giving it a try to see if it solves your problem.

  • HP Webcam HD2300: Webcam does not not to Skype

    Purchased January 2016 as well as new office 450 Slimline, when Skype was set up for me and the device worked, but now I want to use Skype, although when I turn on the PC a light briefly shows, when I click on onSkype nothing happens.  I'm really not read and write, PC then to nearly 80 if something goes wrong, I have to pay about 25 pounds to get someone to come to my house to fix things, so hope there is a simple way to resolve this.  I have automatic updates for Windows 10.  The only answers I could find here have been from 2014 to thinking things may have changed since then.

    Hello @jennywren1

    Could you please clarify your statement? Are saying you when the computer was first setup in January, the camera worked but now it does not work?

    In 10 of Windows, click Start camera and click on it.

    The camera works in the Windows 10 Viewer?

    In addition, you use the Windows Skype or the desktop version of Skype?

    You must use a webcam Chicony Win 7 64 bit software.

    > Now my camera does not work. I had to reinstall the drivers (they only had vista drivers) - can anyone help?
    The Portégé M800 Win 7 drivers are available on the European driver Toshiba page.
    You will also find the driver of Webcam Win 7 64 bit 1.7.260.0526

    Please remove first the old driver, and then restart the unit clean to the BONE using CCLeaner, reboot the device again and then install Chicony webcam software.

  • Portege A600 Webcam software crashes when changing the settings with the sound muted

    I have a problem with XP Toshiba factory build for Portege A600 and Portege R600.
    If you try to change the sound properties of the Webcam using the Camera Assistant Software with the sound muted, the camera wizard app will hang & Windows fails to shut down or even stop. The only way to stop is pressed the power button until the machine stops.

    So far, the only solution I can come to is to increase the volume to zero rather than using the mute box. The problem is if you forget and mute rather than turning down and then try to change the sound properties, its "game over." In addition, it is not really satisfactory because politics is to keep the machines muted until the sound is required.

    This does not happen with the Vista Build, build it only XP.

    My guess is that this will not happen on any machine using the Chicony Webcam & software with the Realtek HD audio but I have not tried on machines enough yet to be sure. So far, I've recreated on two A600s and a R600. The machines are not defective and you can create the problem, "straight out of the box. Just do the following:
    (1) use the provided Toshiba product recovery DVD for restore factory Toshiba Windows XP SP2 version
    (2) once you have done the whole stuff, mute
    (3) open the Camera Assistant Software application & to select Properties
    4) click the audio settings tab

    That of all, suspended. The Camera Assistant Software version is 1.7.209.0807L which seems to be the last being available for download on the websites of Toshiba.

    Someone has encountered this or have any suggestions?

    Hello

    I n t have a Portege but U400 with pre-installed and integrated webcam Win XP.
    I installed a clean Win XP and then upgraded the XP to the last State and installed all the drivers available from the Toshiba page and possible.

    I followed the steps in your message and I have to say that I didn t notice strange questions, software webcam still works correctly

    I put t know what could be the problem, but I recommend that you check the audio driver to update maybe you can use the Realtek page
    Also, check if the BIOS has been updated to the current state and if your Windows XP is up to date.

  • Satellite L50 - cannot start webcam

    It is said "to begin with, connect a camera"

    someone knpws where I can find the drivers or what to do with this?

    Thank you!!

    In order to use the webcam, you must use the application of webcam Win 8.1.
    But you should also check the privacy of access webcam settings.

    You'll find this under settings PC-> St-> webcam

  • X 201 new owner.

    Hi, I got my X 201 has a few months ago. Its the processor i7, 4 GB ddr3 ram a single stick, the momentum 7200.4 seagate 500 GB hard drive, WiFi, centrino 6300, webcam, win 7 pro w/xp mode, 9 cell batt.

    overal, I am very pleased. I like the sw of management batt. I have experienced this feature with sw that I usually use. on the max power settings, the cpu is declocked to 1.1 ghz and I ran the sw I usually use (itunes, EAC, IE, etc.) then I used them on the max performance which is 2.67 ghz performance seems very similar. I did not type reference tests but the observations of real life. My guess is that my 7200 hard drive RPM is holding down my i7 processor.

    start and stop times are about a minute or two. I have a number of startup as well as lenovo tips process. What kind of SSD, I should look into? I have the Summit of SCO and intel x 25 in mind. I have currently 410 gb available hard disk off 470ish (500 gb) do you think a hard disk of 120 GB enough? (I don't store any media, I have them on my nas)

    I'll also add an another 4 GB ddr who probably will not help a lot.

    SSD make a difference, that we received about 20 units (non Lenovo) they are not lightning fast, but the difference is quite significant agree that if you have money is the way to go.

    I hope you have an OS 64 bit with the extra ram, you talk about installation you are going to need it...

    Hello

    I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

    I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
    Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

  • Satellite P70-A-104 - cannot find webcam driver for Win 8.1

    Hello

    I installed a 2nd HDD with Win 8 Pro 8.1.
    I've also downloaded all the drivers available for my model P70-A-104, but there is no driver available for the built-in WebCam FHD Toshiba. I also checked the other models from Toshiba with camera of 2 MBit FHD.

    Is there someone who knows where to download the correct driver? I know there are some tools for the driver updates (25-30 US$), but they do not display the missing web cam driver.

  • Chicony webcame is not working on the Satellite A350-12j and Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    The chicony webcam does not work on my toshiba Satellite A350-12j and windows 7 64 bit...

    I always get different errors as
    "graphics make it fail."
    "the device is locked by another program.
    etc...

    I tried many things and watch them on a lot of messages, but nothing does. I installed a lot of drivers and programs to solve, but nothing works.
    at first the camera was ok but now nothing seems to help and the camera is broken...

    Can you help me??

    Thank you!

    > seen as 1 million messages like mine and not even 1 right answer on how to solve it!
    I guess you didn't read all these messages correctly

    The user Symbian wrote that her webcam works fine! He used the software/driver for the Toshiba page as well

    Since the Skype reports an unknown error too, I guess that this whole thing has noting to do with the webcam software, but with your Windows 7 installed!

    Seems a registry keys, files or all what it might be, are confused upward!
    In your case, I would try a new installation! Install Win 7 and the Toshiba drivers/software.
    Then test the webcam.

    Don t install any 3rd party software before you would test the webcam!

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 10 H Win XP - webcam microphone is very low

    When I go to the volumd mic the "Advanced" button control that should give me access to "mic boost" is grayed out (but checked).

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    I have a U400 pre-installed with Win XP and my internal microphone works well.
    The Microphone option is checked and in the advanced settings of that amp Microphone is checked also but NOT dimmed.

    I should mention that I've updated my audio driver several weeks ago

  • Qosmio X 70-A-12 X - webcam does not work after installing Win 8.1

    I installed Windows 8.1 update.
    Webcam no longer works. If I have installed other OS, it works... This isn't a hardware problem.

    What is a driver available that must be installed for Windows or Windows Update 8.1 8.1?

    No idea why does not?

    Hello

    There is no driver special webcam for win 8.1

    The point is that Win 8 driver as well as Win 8.1 already contain standard webcam and so the webcam should not need additional driver.
    Of course, the driver for the webcam is necessary if you are using Win 7

    Question: have you installed the driver for the Toshiba system to Win 8.1?
    What is the status of webcam in Device Manager?
    The webcam has been correctly activated?

  • Satellite L850 - 14L - problem of catalyst & Webcam update to Win 8

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite L850 - 14L and installed windows 8 on it.

    During the installation of windows 8 computer announced there where many problems;

    -the catalyst control center was not compatible, so it does not work
    -the webcam cannot be installed (webcam works but with scratches and bad quality)

    After this I went to the site of toshiba and downloaded windows drivers 8 for this laptop also here the assistant driver told that there where several problems.

    I can't recal all of them, but certainly also the problem of catalyst and webcam appeared.

    Anyone have a solution I would like to fix without returning the laptop.

    In fact I don't know if the webcam worked correctly on win 7 because I installed windows 8 directly after the purchase of the laptop.

    Thanks for the help

    Hello

    You did a clean install of win 8 or move you from Win 7 to 8 Win?

    During the upgrade to Windows 7 for win 8 Win 8 checks the pre-installed drivers and tools, and if certain parts are not win 8 compatible, you will receive a notification.
    In this case, you need to remove/uninstall the incompatible elements.

    Just one question: did you choose the upgrade wizard for the L850 right? You must choose L850 PSKDLE
