PA: Uninstalled my webcam drivers and now webcam is missing from Device Manager

Hello

I had trouble with my webcam I decided to uninstall the driver to try reinstalling one from scratch.

The problem is that now my webcam is still not displayed in Device Manager, so I can't access its settings to try to update the driver.

It was a very stupid thing to do, and now I don't know what to do...

Thanks in advance!

Cecilia

Hi Cecilia,.

Unless you have already done, the first thing I would say is just to reboot the laptop and see if Windows RE-discovered the Webcam and load a driver for it.

If this does not work, try to run the system restore to return the machine to a point in time before that you deleted the windows driver - see Option 2 below.

  • Satellite A300 PSAG4A: Webcam not detected in Device Manager

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAG4A 02L00M with Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
    The webcam is not working and it is not detected in Device Manager.
    When I install the Chicony camera drivers, I get the "Webcam driver open fail. Error message.

    The fact that I can't see the Webcam in Device Manager tells me that there may be a hardware failure.
    However, I hope that this is a setting that I can fix myself.

    I had restored the laptop to factory also and I've updated the bios.
    I tried to uninstall all the USB controllers and reboot the PC.

    Is there something I can do?
    It's maybe a software problem?
    There may be a setting?

    Best way to test the operation of the equipment is to check with the factory settings installation operating system with the Toshiba recovery image. As I see that you have done this already.

    So if cam still doesn't work properly, I fear that there is a problem with the hardware.
    It cannot be matter of software because the recovery image contains the driver for the cam.

    When you reinstall CS5, you start to 12.0 there's a 12.0.4 update that includes bug fixes.

    You need to directly download this update and before you install, go into osx security & privacy > general tab and temporarily allow app installs anywhere.

  • I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) from Device Manager on my HP Presario using Win Vista Serv Pac 2 and IE 9.

    Recently, I replaced my hard drive of my laptop HP Presario DV 9718 with Windows Vista. It is a 4 year old laptop, but it's always a good computer. I finished all downloads for updating Windows (some 200 + GB) as well as 2 Pac Serv and IE 9. I lost my CD/DVD (dual drive) and is therefore no longer in Device Manager. Help! My system works great and I downloaded through my print online from HP.com software to complete my installation to work around the CD/DVD missing which prevernted me from the CD of the software running on my printer in my CD/DVD drive. I know it is a malfunction probably related to updates of Windows not supporting the manufacturer of my CD/DVD drive, because it can be manufactured by another company or something to that effect. Anyone have this problem and can guide me through the fix for this problem so I can go in my life and enjoy my Presario completely once more?

  • Oops - I uninstalled a few programs and now I have no sound

    OK - I feel really stupid, and after several hours of trying to fix it myself I feel even more stupid.

    A couple of days, I decided to remove some programs on my computer that it seemed that I didn't need. I deleted 2 or 3 - everything the computer I said "rarely used". I thought I might as well get rid of a few things that might slow me down. And no, I don't remember the names of those that I deleted.

    Now - a few days later I noticed I have no sound - not the startup music, no itunes, no sound with video. Nothing. All my strings are tight and my speakers are on. I tried to reset my computer to a week ago, but he said that there are no changes. I went a month ago and he said the same. In the meantime, the message of itunes is "Itunes has detected a problem in your audio configuration, playback audio/visual does not work correctly.  In Control Panel, I went to 'Sounds, speech and audio devices - the volume' and it shows just "no audio device." I went through the troubleshooting steps and he told me to go to-control panel, printers, and other devices and then add material - but it don't tell me what to add. Frustrated!

    I know I messed up something good enough, but it seems that I should be able to reinstall what I uninstalled. I don't know what it is!

    A few directions step by step on how to get back my sound would be very appreciated!

    Simply go to the site of the manufacturer of your PC/computer laptop, find the support page for your machine, then download and install the latest audio drivers XP.

  • HELP: I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2 and now I can not reinstall it - also cannot access my adobe account and it is the United States no. CS plus.

    Told me to uninstall my photoshop cs2. My macbook pro went repair and I had to restore from a backup, after which I got this error message when you try to use photoshop: a license for this product has stopped working: restart the computer and try new blah blah blah error code 150:30. I uninstalled stupidily program on the advice of someone in adobe CS in India and now I can't reinstall. Can someone help me please? I am not interested in buying a newer versioin of adobe cs photoshop or cloud or none of this. I'm pretty happy with it, I just want to come on my laptop. I also run on my desktop computer. Also, I couldn't access my original account due to be told that I had to change my password. An e-mail was sent to the e-mail address associated with this account, but I have more access to this email. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH ADOBE AND THEIR SUPPORT MOSHE. We spend hundreds and it's the support that we receive?

    I oringinalyspent about $4-500 on this program and I would like someone to tell me how to get this back up and works without licensing issues and spend thousands more please. Agent original CS, I spoke with after waiting on hold for more than 1/2 hour was immediately rude to me and told me that I was tyring to understand something, when in reality he was not listening to a word I said to my questions. I am more disappointed, I'm DISGUSTED. I really wish I had not uninstalled it because I fear now, as I suspected, that I will never be able to get it back and I will be FORCED to spend more money. This is ridiculous. I wish I never sent my laptop for repair. I took them several days to understand this bulb and some cables have been damaged, and there is no real reason to wipe my computer everything. I wouldn't have to deal with all of this if I didn't have and that the original problem is still there, when I opened the laptop, screen out draft and it takes a minute or two to start the operation, but it is another matter.

    I tried to access the chat 24 hours again, but that doesn't work more or the other.

    Can someone help me please? Thank you!
