  • built in web cam does not work

    Right so my built in camera is not working, I have an advent modena m101.

    When I press fn + f7 is no function but the sign of web camera is always says the roundabout turns even now. I tried the update that it didn't work. any help will be good

    Hello

    Sound like there may be hardware problems so check with a real computer store
    (the advent of services internal) or the Support of Advent (see links below).

    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).

  • Reconfigure RAID (Online Capacity Expansion) does not work for non Dell drives in the bios and is not available in OMSA for VMWare

    VMWare users have found a solution for the following?

    Readers of PERC H700 and H800 (firmware current 12.10.4 - 0001 A10, r610 servers) allow the user (in the bios during startup) to create new virtual disks using non Dell drives, but you cannot expand a virtual disk existing readers not Dell, when in the bios.  The option is grayed out.

    OMSA for Windows bypasses it.  Virtual disk | Tasks | Reconfigure can do online capacity expansion and accepts disks not Dell for this.

    Problem is OMSA to VMWare ESXi (v7.2, the current version and older versions) doesn't have a virtual disk tasks fall to the bottom.  You can not even a hard drive flashes.  (VMWare ESXi = v5.1)

    The only solution we can think of is to have two drive arrays connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the virtual disk using OMSA for Windows.

    I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

    The firmware update the unlocked non certified discs was in July 2010 (two years ago).  No latest updates seem to speak of changes/updates to update that.

    I don't know why uncertified discs would be blocked for a single operation (expansion/reconfigure) - are get you certain types of message that certainly is the case?  Did you do that with certified readers?  Last I heard, Dell had a firmware update in the works that would allow an extension to get the CTRL-R utility, where it historically could not be done from there.  12.10.4 as of 2012, I guess (if the Dell guy who told me he rode was OK) this update has not been released yet... However, I could be wrong.  I don't have a H700 to test with, but you can try OMSA live as an alternative to the construction of a temporary Windows Server to try the expansion of the OMSA.

  • I am expierencing problems with my isight Camera on my MacBook Pro. Suddenly the video camera does not start (no green light on) FT or Photo Booth. The screen is black, if I restart computer it works but after closing the lid, it stops. V10.11.3

    I have problems with my view i camera on my Mac Book Pro. Suddenly the video camera does not work (no green light on) FT or Photo Booth. The screen is black, if I restart it, it works but after closing the lid it stops and I have to restart the computer.  I use V10.11.3. An idea about what is happening

    Hello mpm068,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Since your iSight webcam works up to the time that your Mac goes to sleep, I would like you to start please help desk trying to replicate this problem then to reboot in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.

    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.

      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    To exit safe mode, restart your Mac, but no press during the startup.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Take care.

    my built in webcam does not work.i one of my kids deleted some how and now it does not work what do I do

    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.

  • my memory card for my digital camera does not work when I put it in the memory card slot

    I use vista and a emachine El 1200-07w. It worked last week I just stuck the memory card and a menu pops up saying what are the options I could do (for example, open the folder, etc.) now, when I put the memory card in nothing happens, but if the memory card is in when the computer is turned on, then he will say new hardware detected but it can't find a driver for it. Why is it does not work now, but was last week and how the hell can solve this problem. I have no software for my digital camera, I always just went out the memory card it stuck in the memory card slot and it was very good. It's just a less expensive memory card (Lexar) I have a 2 GB and 128 MB and will no longer work. Thanks for any help!

    Hi, I hope you can follow this. Remove the storage card from the computer, then go to control panel
    then
    Device Manager
    Expand portable devices
    the type of memory card slots should be listed if your type is a yellow triangle in it,
    Right-click on it and choose uninstall.
    It should reinstall it automatically or when you put the memory card in the slot.
    This type of fault is often caused by not using material on the taskbar does not safely remove request.

  • Printer spooler does not work for a single user on the network printer

    original title: very different printer problem

    I have a HP deskjet printer shared from a PC on the network.
    I was informed of a single person could not access error poped by saying "printer spooler does not work.
    I went to the services and made sure it was infact running and rebooted to be sure also restarted the RPC services as it is addictive
    Still, the user cannot print to the printer. I took the computer that has been seen issues and hung where fixed my PC and I am able to connect and print!

    If I move my computer witch would allow me to print before there where his computer is my computer prompt same error

    My idea is - what some are how a network issue, but the user can still access drives network, internet and other printers on the network

    Just not this printer

    The computer on the share is is a windows xp sp2 workstation

    The computer with the issue is any system I plug its cable Ethernet (XP anyway) I have not tried with a windows machine 7.

    My hypothesis is a bad Ethernet cable? I'm quite lost with this question at this stage.

    My next step is to hang the printer until a print area and assign an IP address and finish with the share.

    (Still not sure if it would help or not)

    Any advice is welcome thanks

    It turned out to be a bad switch. I don't understand why it did not work. All the computers had no problems other than the present even that if I swapped the ports it has made a difference.

    Hung new switch and all computers works fine now.

  • My Dell Desk Top DVD Player does not work. Whenever I have insert the disc and click here to read... I get the message insert' disc Please "."

    What is the faulty drive, or the software that is missing

    Hello

    What happens if you close all programs and then insert the disc?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you have problems with CD/DVD drive:

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.
