  * How what happened? *

  You tell me. That's how it happened;
  * 1st day: I booted up my laptop and looked at my installation fresh and clean Windows vista Home premium. I tried my webcam using the webcam support software and it worked like a charm.
  * Day 2: once I start my laptop and try to start my webcam only to find out that he is no longer functions.
  To give a quick summary of the thread;

  Sincerely,

  a sad customer.

  Camera Assistance software using provided by Toshiba I can't save or preview of a video.
  Can you please describe the steps how you try to do this? I have to ask you this question because it works fine on my laptop. When the recording is finished Player opens and you can see saved the film. This is the avi format and at the top of this player, you can see the path where the film is recorded.

  Strangest thing for me, is that you can not use it with Skype. OK for MSN is not perfect, but there is absolutely no problem with Skype. Make sure the settings and it should work somehow.

• I have a new laptop and my integrated webcam does not work

  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:

• Satellite L500D - integrated webcam does not work properly

  Hello world

  I have a L500D (I got it for about 2 months now) and yesterday I realized that my webcam did not work properly even if it worked just fine a couple of days.

  Here's the problem: when I turn it on (via Skype or through application of camera web toshiba), the colors are reversed: it's exactly like I had added an effect on the image as 'Posterize' or 'threshold '. Everything is bright, grainy, saturated...

  I tried in low light and high, and the night mode is not on.
  I couldn't solve the problem with the webcam settings, but regardless, I, can not do anywhere near a normal image.

  I spent a lot of time surfing the web but couldn't find a solution (or someone with a similar problem, in fact). I have windows 7 64 bit.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I run my laptop with a lot of care, which makes even more beat when something goes wrong... Thanks in advance!

• Satellite A500-17 x - micro does not work after BIOS update

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-17 x which I have just updated the BIOS to version 2, as recommended by the tempro software. Now with the new update my microphone does not work. Where can I download a copy of the old BIOS?

  ({I used winphlash64 in advanced mode to restore the original backup, it does to the computer, but it just gives the new bios to}) Thank you rich

  Hello

  BIOS cannot be demoted in windows mode.
  Even if you use an older version of BIOS update, you will get an error message saying that the latest BIOS version is already installed. So, forget the downgrade.

  By the way: I put t think the update of the BIOS assigned the microphone.

  Go to control panel of-> sound-> recording tab.
  Here you will see all the available recording devices (micro)

  Activate the microphone it (in this case the people with reduced mobility) and set its default value.

  Where it works: reinstall the audio driver.

• Satellite A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

  Hi people,

  I need help please.

  My wireless adapter does not work.
  It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

  I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

  The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

  There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

  When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

  I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

  I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

  My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
  The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

  Hello

  Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

  If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
  Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

  Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

  PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

  The question of the internal webcam can be resolved by installing the update from Ms.
  The Vista SP1 also provides the necessary MS fix and it is advisable to install it too.

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

• Satellite S50-B-12R - Webcam does not work

  I bought my toshiba Satellite S50-B-12R this Saturday but the moment where I couldn't use my webcam.

  I looked everywhere for my webcam drivers, but I can't find them.
  Also when I look in my configuration window there not a webcam.

  But once my webcam was working, I was on Skype and it detected my webcam so I used it and then when I tried to use it later it has not been detected more.

  So I would like to know if there are any missing drivers or maybe the webcam is not properly connected inside the unit. And what I need to do to be able to use my webcam

  Welcome,

  Robby

  First laptop was already preloaded with Toshiba picture and all the drivers and software have been installed too.
  That's why driver extra installation isn t necessary.

  Secondly, preinstalled Win 8.1 system contains the driver for the webcam. The driver is designed by Microsoft and part of the system.

  The 8.1 win provides a webcam application that you might find on the surface of 8.1 to win.
  But before using the application, you must add the webcam access and change privacy settings.

  Charm-> Open bar (Win key + C)-> settings-> permissions enable webcam & microphone

  Now close and reopen the webcam app. You should have your camera app works fine now

  What can I do?

  Thnx

  Yes. Install the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win7 for Satellite A350.
  I did it on my Satellite A500 and it works.

  One last thing: if I remember well there's also some flashcard support utility. The install too.
