How to reinstall on Satellite A215 cec_main.exe?

I use a Toshiba Satellite A215-4708, with Vista Home Premium.
When I restart my laptop, I get the error telling me to reinstall cec_main.exe. I already know that it is related to my webcam. I have run full antivirus scans and found nothing. I deleted the drivers for the webcam using the recovery disk that came with my laptop and reinstalled them. During the reinstallment I get the error again. Once I have uninstall the driver for the webcam I do not receive the error when you restart.

I went online and search for solutions, and I tried everything I could find including the verification of my McAfee security software to trust point I've seen on other security software. I even used the Toshiba websites for webcam Installer and get the same results.

Is it really possible to reinstall the cec_main.exe?
What are my options?

As far as I know using the recovery disk you may not remove or reinstall single drivers, tools, or utilities, but install the operating system and have once again the factory settings.
It will be interesting to know what you did exactly.

By the way: where you bought this A215-4708? I thought that this is an American model, but I can't find it on the Toshiba U.S. support page.

    I deleted the CEC_MAIN.exe by chance that I just installed Kaspersky Internet Sercurity 2010 and an error message appeared. Later, I discovered how to fix the problem but Im now stuck with no CEC_MAIN.exe.

    Any help please...

    Hello

    The CEC_MAIN.exe file belongs to the Webcam software and in my opinion, you need to reinstall this software. You can find it on the Toshiba driver download page if you are looking for your model.

    If you have installed the software, you need to unlock this application in the Kaspersky software.

    ' ' I don't know how long do you have this laptop but it is strongly recommended to create the recovery DVD disc using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. It is very important for you. If something goes wrong and you will not be able to use the operating system more how do you install again?

    Return to described the issue. Please visit Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp choose your model of laptop it and download and install webcam driver. Before you do this the system version preinstalled deletion.

  • Satellite A300 - CEC_MAIN. EXE error at startup

    I have remove the camera assistant software and restart the computer, restart when Windows the message not to apears. I have install the camera assistant software, and this error again.

    Does anyone have the solution?

    Hello

    The CEC_MAIN. EXE application belongs to the software of the camera, and if you have already tried to reinstall, you should check your firewall and security software.
    I think that your security software is blocking this application in order to check this!

    If it doesn't work remove the software and reboot the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the system and reboot once again. After that, install the latest software for the Toshiba page.

  • A message to reinstall: MapI32.dll (Windows Search.exe) how to re - install.

    Original title: Reinstall: MapI32.dll (Windows Search.exe)

    After the installation of the update of Windows 8 for Windows XP, I get an error dialog box that indicates that I have to reinstall MapI32.dll (Windows Search.exe). How do I reinstall and why this happens?

    Thank you.

    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    I can assure you with certainty at 100% none of Microsoft has 'expert' ideas Support Engineer will not replace a missing mapi32.dll file.

    These ideas are just more of their wild goose hunting to waste your time and get the points by posting useless ideas, not tested until they have links to the KB articles which will not work.

    First, nor fashion all safe or clean boot replaces a missing file.

    Second of all, the System File Checker don't know or don't care that file - and for the millionth time, I repeat is not what SFC/scannow, this isn't how it works and it's not what it is for.

    Everything that this alleged "expert" needs to do is re-create the problem (which takes about 10 seconds) and to apply their own prosecution goose to see that none of these ideas will help.

    Perhaps one day, these 'experts' will learn how XP works.

    If I were Microsoft, I'd be embarrassed and ashamed of these representatives (then I would lay off).

    If you mean that you see a message like this:

    WindowsSearch.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because the MAPI32.dll file not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    If the file is missing, it may have been quarantined (effectively removed) by your antimalware/antivirus application not specified on your unspecified brand system and model with unspecified XP version and unspecified Service Pack, but you can replace it.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&ID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file named mapi32 when the name of the file should really be called mapi32.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the files downloaded to the appropriate on your system folder.

    That may not solve all your problems, but at least you will be spending this part and we can then fix the rest.

  • Cannot run 'CEC_MAIN.exe' Please reinstall this program!

    I get this error message when I start my laptop.  Any input would be welcome on what is and how to solve it.  Thank you!

    Thank you, Mick, you helped me solve my problem!  The only glitch was in the instructions of Bindu R first 'go to the main page of Kaspersky,' then ' choose control > application.»  I have KIS 2010.  When I clicked on the Kaspersky icon on my desk, there was no point of logic "choose control > application.»  But when I clicked on the tab "" my Security Zone, he opened a screen at the top, was a topic 'Application Control'. "."  Just below, this is a link to "Enforcement activity".  When I clicked on this link, to jump a list of all the applications on my laptop, including 'cec_main.exe', the State need not read "approved."  I clicked on "not reliable" and changed "trust."  Problem solved.

    Hello

    I really need help.
    I have a Satellite A215-S7437 and windows Vista is crazy.
    I want to restore the laptop with the recovery partition.

    I have read haved if I want to start with this hidden restore partition that I need to press the 0 button zero when I turn it on.
    But this doesn't work in some way.

    In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the Repair your computer option, and then press ENTER. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

    The System Recovery Options menu should appear. You must click on startup repair.
    Startup Repair offers various options and there you make a choice to solve the problem.

  • How can I back up my Vista on Satellite A215?

    I just bought a Satellite A215 and I wanted Vista preinstalled on a backup DVD. I know that laptop manufacturers notebok comes with a separate partition for Vista and its drivers that you can easily write on the DVD.

    Is this a directory I can copy the Vista in Satellite A215? Help, please!

    Yes, there is a hidden partition, but you can not just copy the content of the hidden on a DVD restore partition. For these purposes, there is a program called "Recovery Disk Creator" which is located somewhere in-> Start-> Toshiba-> (somewhere there :))

    With this application you can create your own healing of your HARD drive recovery partition.
