• How do I use the built in webcam on my computer laptop gateway?

  I have no idea how even turn on the webcam. I don't know even where to find the software for the webcam. I tried to use Skype and that no longer works. Is there anyway that I can fix this?

  On your front door, you have the Camera Assistant Software installed. It is not a start menu entry, but you should find that it listed in programs and features, if it is installed. If it is installed and running, you should find an icon in the notification area and that there should be a hidden toolbar that will show if you move your mouse cursor along the top of your screen. If you do not have the software installed you should be able to download and install it from the gateway support site.

  * Original title: webcam

  can what software I use to capture an image using my built in webcam in windows 7

  Hi Elizabeth,.

  Normally there will be a software provided by the manufacturer of the laptop computer or the manufacturer of the webcam to take pictures on the computer.

  You can see the laptop manual to check if the computer manufacturer has provided a software for visualization of the webcam on your computer and check if you have the option in the software to capture the image of the webcam on your laptop.

  Also contact the manufacturer of the laptop to learn more on how to take pictures of the webcam.

  For more information, see the links.

  How can I change to use a wep, tells me is not secure personal wpa running? I have a brand new d link 2680 router & used windows xp 3?

  Wireless security is controlled by the router.

  Download the manual of your router on the following link:
      <>FTP://FTP.Dlink.co.UK/diagrams/Misc/DSL-2680_A1_Manual_EU_1.0.PDF >

  To change to the WPA instructions are on page 39.

  After that, you may need to remove all references to your router on your devices without wire, then re-establisg the connection.   Alternatively, you can change your Secure ID (SSID) as you make changes to the configuration of your router and then reconnect the new SSID for all devices.

• Why can I not use my built-in webcam?

  My problem as proposed so title, it's that I can't use my webcom at all, I have a Sony Vaio laptop (model number: PCG-6SFP if it's important) honestly, I have no idea why it used to work, I looked EVERYWHERE it seems not to be in Device Manager so I have no idea I've never had a manual... If anyone can help me it would be great if not sorry for wasting your time. (If I put it in the wrong category I'll repost in correct.)

  Hello Matthew,.

  Most of the manufacturers of grouping a program you can use the webcam with.

  In this case, you need to look on the site Sony or contact with them to know exactly what application it is.

  You can also try to use the webcam with Windows Live messenger and other applications that are third parties.
