(c)

I open Skype and use the webcam, then exit Skype.

(d)

I open the app again and it said - could not detect device webcam (assuming that it comes from the app)

What the hell is happening?

Any help appreciated.

Hey Krammig,

Due to software licenses, sorry the Vmware is not something that I support. But we know that's not the Webcam.

You will need to go to the support of Vmware for a solution.

Thank you.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Hey amaury Muñoz.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

    1. can you please tell us the model number of your computer?

    2. is there a built in webcam or what is the model of your webcam?

    Can you please give us a little more detail on what is the specific error you get when you try to use the webcam?

    Check if you have the drivers installed for your webcam.

    As you say that it is a Dell computer, you will need to go on the http://support.dell.com website to download the driver of your webcam installed.

    Click on support and drivers.

    On the next page, it asks your name and your number.

    Select the exact model of your laptop.

    This will bring up the option to select your operating system. Choose Windows Vista or Windows Vista 64-bit.

    A webcam installed usually appears under the software - multimedia, but it may be different for your model.

    You can choose to install now or download. Once it is downloaded and installed, then test again to see if your integrated webcam works.

    You can also contact Dell for support, since this is a brand new computer. Here is a link to Dell's Support page options:

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

  • My webcam does not work. How can I make it work again?

    -Very well, so I have a Gateway computer, T-Series, not exactly that model because when I sent the computer geek team, they covered the sticker on the bottom that tells you what it is, but that should not be too significant. Thus, the original hard copy of this computer died earlier. I took the hard drive on an HP failure and after I installed all the drivers on the right, the computer works perfectly, the hitch is that the hard drive it's a HP photo and not a bridge. The point being, my gateway integrated webcam does not work without the driver (of course) and because the hard does not know that the computer has one, I don't know which driver should I download. If anyone has any information on the gateway series T, as those who had webcams and how webcam can be in the computer, so that I can find the driver for that it would be useful.

    EDIT: The laptop is a gateway series W350a T with a 1.3 Megapixel WebCam. If you guys can offer any help, please do.

    These links do not help me that the computer is running Windows Vista, not Windows 7 which you would know if you had paid attention to what it has been marked to the title.

    Also, in my edit, I added that the computer was a W350a. At this point your suggestions don't help me because after more than an hour to keep searching, I finally found a picture of the T-16 of the gateway that is my model exactly. After another 20 minutes of research I discovered a link to the website of gateway directly to the page where this computers drivers. I downloaded the Chicony WebCam Assistant and viola, problem solved.

    Thanks but no thanks for these suggestions, so they're as bad as, if not worse than what I would have gotten if I had called the bridge to help Customer Support. The only difference is that I wouldn't have to wait a day for this stupid proposal, I would be immediately obtained.

  • Webcam does not work in my Inspiron N4010

    The integrated webcam does not work in my Inspiron N4010. In Device Manager it does not - there is no category for imaging devices. The central webcam and Skype (that I uninstalled and reinstalled) indicate no webcam and request that one be plugged. Please notify.

    If you are good with a screwdriver you can probably fix it really fast. First turn off the laptop, then remove the Panel before (trim sreen) to expose the webcam and unplug carefully, not to break the wiring of the plug. Finally, turn the computer on the bezel even reverse, but expect that the computer fully boots up... now plug it back (with the computer), now to see if your webcam is now detected and installed as a "Device-Image" in Device Manager. If so, you good to go!

  • Webcam does not appear in Device Manager

    I have a model of portable pavilion G62-233NR windows 7 64-bit, with a built-in webcam.  YouC'm software was bundled with it and worked.  Now the webcam is not found by one of the video programs AE Skype, Youcam... etc...

    I also noticed that the webcam does not appear in Device Manager. I tell me that I have to reinstall a driver for it but do not know what driver to install. HP has the following availble drivers for my model but which?  If one of the pilots was labeled "webcam", the task would be easy. I hope because the driver is missing in Device Manager that has installed a driver will set missing cam... I'm worried because I don't see a driver named "webcam" in the list... but what else could the problem, how can I get the driver installed, if that's the problem.
