Laptop built in camera is not working... problem solved earlier but I forgot how to fix

I contacted Lenovo support about a month ago as the camera of my laptop did not work. A member of the team had access/remote of my laptop and solved the problem by disabling a certain privacy setting. After that, my camera worked.

However, I think I'm having the same problem again but do not know how to change the setting. My drivers are up to date, so this isn't the issue. Someone has an idea what setting he has changed and how to get there? Thank you!!

Hello

  • The sound in my apps does not work unless my headphones are plugged in, how to fix this?

    The overall sound does not work in any of my apps unless earphones are connected. All other sound works and I checked the individual applications to ensure that the sound is turned on and he says he is.

    Try this...

    Close all open applications... Sign in your account... Perform a reset... Try again...

    Reset ( No Data will be lost)

    Press and hold the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time...

    Wait for the Apple logo to appear...

    Usually takes about 15-20 seconds... ( But may take longer...)

    Release the buttons...

    If no joy... Try to plug and unplug the helmet a few times... Be nice...

  • Sound does not work... why... How to fix?

    every now and then my computer loses sound, why? It is very random and very annoying.  I tried everything computers suggest Help Center and nothing, I still get a message that all is working properly... NO, IT's NOT, otherwise I would have sound.  I have no idea of what I've done in the past to get it back... I have try all kinds of things and never now if they work or if it's just returns its own.  Please HELP I need her to do their homework!

    Hi katbar,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. when the computer loses its sound?

    That would happen generally if on the computer sound card drivers are corrupted or must be updated.

    I suggest that you manually download and install the updated drivers for the soundcard on the computer by visiting the manufacturer of the computer or sound card manufacturer's Web site and check if that helps.

  • Equium P200 built in camera does not work

    Hello

    I just bought this laptop with Vista. What I've noticed, is:

    Has anyone else had this problem and can anyone give some advice where to find drivers and software

    Thanks stuartson

    Sorry Stuart but I cannot believe this. In my office, we have a single Satellite P200 and it's the same notebook as your Equium P200. After the first start will be analyzed the portable equipment and if the webcam is located in the driver and the software will be installed automatically.

    Are you using a recovery image Toshiba (factory settings) or your own installation of the OS?

    Hello Jerry,.

    Go to Dell.com site, click technical support. It will then ask for your service tag. It's a sticker on the bottom of your laptop / inside the battery compartment. Enter it in the space provided and the site will return a list of drivers for your system.

    There is no charge for this. I have a Dell laptop and have been there several times for it free of charge. Otherwise, feel free to post your service tag and I can get the link of the place for you.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Sound like there may be hardware problems so check with a real computer store

    Troubleshoot camera connection
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

    You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera (general control software
    included with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
    Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
    that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL
    -REBOOT - it will refresh the driver stack.

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

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

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers that are often
    older than those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot can HIDE and watch
    manually to see if their really is a more recent version (both system and the manufacturer of the device manufacturer
    sites).

    Hi Syed,

    Thanks for the reply with the status of the issue.

    I suggest you try to install the drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode and check if it works for you. I saw this troubleshooting procedure described working for other members of the community.

    Step 1: Download the driver for the Webcam from this link of Lenovo.

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=DS015018

    Step 2: Installing the driver in compatibility mode.

    Make the programs more compatible with this version of Windows:

    Hello

    Try doing a system restore. Go to the SEARCH bar and type system restore.
    Once the System Restore screen, select a restore point (it must be before the problem occurred), launch it. Check.
    You can also update the drivers of your computer (the webcam driver). If you do not know how to locate, you can use RadarSync to find out-of-date drivers.
