Portege M600 - Webcam driver open fail on Windows 7
Hello
I have a Portege M600 and already installed Windows 7 [RTM]. After that windows update works well for all material certified with Microsoft, but when I try to used by webcam, the program display an error message:
He says 'webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.
Then I stop and repeat until twice but nothing happened and shows the same error. I control peripheral works properly. I already reinstall the webcam software too.
For any idea or suggestion?
PS:
I used the Vista 32 software as default driver
Thank you
Hello
I completely agree with Akuma you should try Windows 7 beta driver for the Chicony webcam from the Toshiba page we:
http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com
But do not forget that Windows 7 isn't out yet so it s a little difficult to get drivers tested for it.
In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings.
Good bye

Satellite P300: webcam driver open failed
Hello
I'm desperate.
1 month ago I bought a satellite P300-190 with webcam internal.Everything seems to work, except the webcam.
I get the error when you start the software: "webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.
I read so many threads about this problem.
I tried: update of software, of the bios, graphics card, software of the camera.
follow-up of most of the things specified in the markets, but still the same problem.Is there a somewere expert who can help me solve this probem?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards, Jeroen.* Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
* Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
* Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
* If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
* Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
* To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".If this does not work, the best option would be to backup your data and run recovery. If it still does not work, then the webcam itself may be faulty.

I have a Satellite L305-S5945 and the webcam worked perfectly out of the box, and after that I have re-installed Vista-64 (which he came with) after that I installed a bad program and had a blue screen.
I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now the webcam is not working and I get the error "Webcam driver open fail." Please restart camera or computer. "I tried to find a Windows 7 driver on the support page, but I couldn't find one so I just used both Vista/XP those instead. One is the driver and another the Camera Assistant Software. Here's what I've tried so far:
* Attempt #1 * freshly installed Windows 7. Without having to install anything else, I download the two aforementioned drivers and then install both and restart the computer. Meet up with working Camera Assistant Software but when you start webcam I get error "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer. »
Try to #2 * after 1 attempt, go to Device Manager and uninstall Chicony USB Camera 2.0 under imaging devices. Restart the computer and let it sit. Finally Windows takes the camera and auto installs and it reappears in the Device Manager. Still get the same errors.
* The #3 attempt * freshly installed Windows 7. Uninstall the camera in Device Manager, and then install the two drivers. Get the same errors. Restart the computer and still the same error.

I have searched and looked for solutions to this problem and feel like I've tried everything. Whenever I turn on my laptop or try to start my webcam I get the error "Webcam driver open fail." Please restart camera or computer. »
I used to be able to use the webcam with no problems, but it just stopped one day of work. I recently reformatted my drive to operate the State out-of-the-box, but it always shows an error whenever I try to use my webcam. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an A300 model: PSA - GCA.

I also tried to use the webcam XP driver, but still no luck.
Any idea on how to solve this problem?

Hi Joe627,
· Is the webcam built into the computer, or you are trying to connect it via USB?
· What is the number and model of the webcam?
· You have installed the drivers for the webcam?
Uninstall the web cam program and features and reinstall it back you can reinstall from the CD provided by the manufacturer or the manufacturer's Web site. Steps to uninstall the program and features:
a. click on start
b. Select Control Panel
c. choose the program and features
d. Select the Webcam program and uninstall.Link, you can see:Uninstall or change a program: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Uninstall-or-change-a-program

Satellite A300-1MC: webcam not working no-webcam driver open failed
After looking through this forum, I tried many "solutions" but to no avail.
After trying to load the webcam, I get the message: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.
I tried to update the software driver for the camera and updated the BIOS.
This message keeps coming up again. It is better to uninstall the camera attemtping completely and then reinstall?
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, im not entirely 'computer savvy '.
I hope someone can help,
Thank you
Ben> Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
Of course!You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> softwareAfter that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.See you soon
