• 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.

• Problems with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer proxy servers...

  I recently had problems with the above programs and their connection to the internet. I did not quite understand what was going on until I tried to connect to Windows Live Messenger a day and it wouldn't let me not connect due to a problem with the proxy server and important ports... And since then, I was not able to browse the web with Internet Explorer, download Windows Live, nor access the music store online for Windows Media player. Can someone help me with this problem?

  J2BJosh,

  It is important that you try some of the solutions provided Karena so that we can continue to resolve the problem.
  Here are some important steps to try I think solve the problem:

  Add-ons add functionality (for example, extra toolbars, animated, stock and pop-up blockers mouse pointers) to your web browser. While Add-ons can enhance your online experience, they can sometimes interfere or conflict with other software on your computer. Try to start Internet Explorer without Add-ons to see if the problem goes away. Here's how:

  • Click the button start , click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

  If disabling all add-ons solves the problem, you can manage add-ons to disable all add-ons and then put modules only as needed. This will allow you to figure out which add-on is causing the problem.

  Open Manage Add-ons

  1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

  2. Click on tools and then click on Manage Add-ons.

  If disabling modules does not resolve the problem, try resetting Internet Explorer to its default settings. This removes all changes that have been made to Internet Explorer since it was installed, but it does not delete your Favorites or flows.

  1. Close the Windows Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer.

  2. Open Internet Explorer by clicking on the button start . In the search box, typeInternet Explorer, then, in the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

  3. Click Tools and then click Internet Options.

  4. Click on the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

  5. In the reset Internet Explorer settings dialog, click Reset.

  6. When you are finished, click Close, and then click OK.

  7. Close Internet Explorer and reopen it before the changes take effect.

  Hope that helps!

• Now that Hotmail is part of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook is with Skype, it's ok to uninstall Windows Live Messenger?

  Each time, starting with Windows Live Messenger 'opens' but is more to accept my login information because Hotmail joined Outlook and Outlook is connected with Skype... so Windows Live Messenger seems to be a redundant nuisance (and Microsoft to my knowledge has not offered advice on this when they said Hotmail users we would be part of Outlook... etc)... so it seems reasonable to simply uninstall... but is it?

  Hello Brygge,

  If you run both Windows Messenger and Skype you should have a notification to upgrade your copy of Windows Messenger to the latest version of Skype. I know that I have received an and after upgrade Windows Messenger disappeared.

  If you don't have the notification, then you should be able to remove messenger through Control Panel > programs and features. In programs and features, look for Windows Essentials 2012. You will find the option to remove Messenger once you clicked Windows Essential 2012 and started the removal process. If you want other applications of Windows Essentials 2012 such as Movie Maker, etc. leave these options checked. Just remove the Windows Messenger tick mark and then proceed with the uninstall.
