My computer does not know that it has built in webcam.

Ok. My father gave me this laptop (a systemax MS-16372) with windows vista. I don't know what he was doing to it before hand, but I really want to make it work. I tried to use it on Skype and msn, but it does not record this is. I think I need to download a program or something because I can't find the files that have nothing to do with the webcam. I can't even control panel... help:)

Hello

Open the Device Manager and see if you can locate the cam it, or if there is no list of unknown devices. If it is not, it is recognized and installed. If not, or if it is an unknown device, then you must install the appropriate drivers from the manufacturer support.

It is also possible that it is disabled in the system BIOS, so you will need to check there as well. Follow the signs for "enter setup" when the system is initially responsible for checking.

  • iTunes does not know that I have downloaded a movie on iTunes

    So a little more information about this title...

    I already downloaded 4 movies to iTunes on my work laptop, but recently had to give up on this laptop. Instead of going to my laptop and re - download all 4 movies, that would be a pain with my slow internet speed, so I decided to transfer them to a USB key. However, my laptop computer does not know I have these 4 films on this subject, if all the tiles show the small icon of clouds as I have to download or listen to. I don't know if iTunes knows you previously downloaded a file and it can't find it, it will leave you you browse to the new location and it can recall, but I don't know how to force to think that it's been downloaded previously. If it was only 1 film or just a few small files, I would forget and download them all, but they will have several evenings to download and I prefer not having to wait that long. In which case it is important, as well the old work laptop and my staff use the same Apple ID

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi justsometallguy,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple.

    I see that you have saved some iTunes movies before moving on to a new computer, and you want to import into your new computer.  All you have to do in this case is simply add the files to your iTunes library by following the instructions below.  Once you import the file, you should see the symbol of download of clouds disappear from this film.

    • In iTunes, choose file > add to library, search for a file or folder, and then click Open.

  • My computer does not recognize that I have two monitors connected.

    I have a VGA splitter cable, but even after I used the cord to connect two cords vga to a port, the computer is only noted one of the monitors. So when I go into settings to try to get them to display both, or to identify, the computer notice only a single monitor. So the problem is that my computer does not recognize that there are two put monitors in place.

    Cable splitter separates the single signal only. The computer only sees it as an output. You would need a different video card use the two forms as separate monitors instead of simply split the signal.

  • After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

    I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
    I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

    E:\ application not found

    So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

    IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

    So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

    Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

    SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

    I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

    I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

    Help, please.

  • Computer does not recognize that this printer is connected

    Hi - We have a new laptop and it does not recognize the old printer.  So, I'm trying to download the driver for it.  However, when I try to download it, it says "Waiting for the user to connect the printer", but the printer is already connected via a USB cable.

    I tried an another USB cable to ensure that it was not that.  I also made sure the printer is on and print a sample page.  What should I do now?

    Hello!

    I'm a little confused abouut your problem. you try to RUN the software and complete functionality to your direct printer from the Hp Web site? If so, Hp does not recommend this process.

    Better to save full feature software and driver first before installing because by clicking RUN directly connected to the internet, you will have a problem to install - some will get instaalation error-corrupted files.

    Pls. click the download button and save it to your desktop.

    Also, before you install it, also try a different USB port on the computer, disable any third-party software on your computer like antivirus, firewalls and spyware because it could block some of the drivers for your printer specifically for scanning. Re-enale the protection again after installation.

    If still not detected, you can try inserting a USB stick to the USB port on your computer. If it works, doesn't mean no problem with the USB PORT.

    TRY THIS ONE, if you are using windows, go to device manager look for the USB if you have a yellow caution icon trhat brand-right click and select put updated driver or select Properties, and then click Properties window simply select Update driver - let windows search the driver online.

    Then try to reinstall, if not solved try this one:

    1. Click Start and then click run . The run dialog box opens.

  • iDrac7 does not after that some has no connections

    Our system has a few new servers R720 with Enterprise iDrac7. Today, I noticed that the iDrac7 IP does not respond (cannot ping, ssh, web GUI...) after three connections fail in the Web interface (I typed the wrong password). I had to unplug the power cord to reset the iDrac and open it again.

    IDrac factory firmware is 1.57.57. I tried to upgrade to the latest 1.66.65 but can not solve the problem.

    So, how I solve it?

    Kind regards

    Can you check IP blocked on iDRAC. You can check the setting "Settings-> network-> avancΘs iDRAC" iDRAC GUI page. Default iDRAC IP will be blocked for 10 minutes from the client if you type the wrong password 3 times in 60 seconds. You will be able to access the iDRAC of different customers during this period. You can access the customer even iDRAC after the penalty defined in the parameter.

  • My computer does not recognize that there is a webcam, but make programs like Skype?

    So, I'm currently talking to my friend on Skype video call. It works well, she see me and I see it. However, I try to use my built in webcam that allows him to see me, and no other program won't even recognize that I have even a webcam.

  • The CC extensions Manager does not know that Photoshop CC 2015 is installed

    Hello world

    I'm learning to make extensions for 2015 CC Photoshop with Adobe Extension Builder 3

    I edited the manifest as:

    Given that Photoshop does not load the files generated by Eclipse or support, I generated an XMP file.

    Well now, the handler extensions gives you the following error:

  • Computer does not recognize that it is the power of the adapter, he seems to think he's still on the battery

    My computer is plugged in and the battery icon shows the battery is charged.  I tried to run a test of the battery, but I get a message that the battery is fine but that a complete diagnosis cannot be executed because the adapter is not plugged in.  I checked all connections and all seem to be good.  I can work on battery power, so this isn't a problem.  What is frustrating is that I can't download any HP or Microsoft updates because the system thinks I am running on battery power.  I tried to download the update THE system BIOS and it won't download because the system thinks I'm working on the battery.

    Help, please.

    I'm sure it's one that came with my laptop.  If I have an additional adapter in the closet, I would check that one...

  • Computer does not recognize my Sansa e260

    I run Windows 7 Home Premium. My MP3 player is a Sandisk Sansa e260.

    Normally, to charge the Sansa, I've just plug it into a USB port on the computer. It is immediately recognized and loading begins.

    Today, while I was out walking the dog, the Sansa ran out of juice. So when I got home I plugged the computer in the usual way. The computer does not know that it existed. It didn't start to load, it does not appear as a drive in Windows Explorer.

    I rebooted the computer with the trendy Sansa. No improvement. I ran "Find the hardware changes" on the USB entry in Device Manager. No change.

    I tried the Sansa in computer from Vista to my wife (who also accused there from time to time). Same result - the computer does not recognize the Sansa.

    Any ideas, please?

    Try performing a reset before you plug it into your computer to charge. There may be just enough juice left for this. You can usually squeeze a few more drops of a flat (any type) battery by heating slightly he. Maybe put it in your Pocket next to your body under a sweater for a while, or take it to bed with you. Your body heat to warm up gently.

    Now that old hat so to speak, press and hold the market/menu button while you count to 20. You can do it silently so the people around you do not think you have freaked out. OK, now, release the button and after a few seconds, press again to see if it boots up on its own. If so, place the cable of life support (Sansa) to quick before he dies again.
