  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

• MICROSOFT LIFE CAM MODEL 1393 fails to load at startup.

  My Microsoft Life Cam model 1393 does not work properly when booting, i.e. does not open. The only work around I have found is to unplug and re-plug the USB cable whenever I want to use it... fate of as pulling the choke on an old Chevrolet each time that you start it. Once I did the camera performs superbly in all areas, both audio and video. It works perfectly in HD with Messenger, Skype and Google. Once I disconnected and reconnected, I can turn off the unit and open it up without any problems. I am using a PC desktop configuration as follows:

  • Processor Intel Core 2 CPU * email address is removed for life private ***@2.93Ghz RAM 4 GB
  • O/s = Windows7 64-bit
  • Drivers camera = Version 3.20.240.0 = current so-called
  • Device Manager confirms that it works correctly
  • All the USB ports on the PC work. I tried at various ports
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the unit unsuccessfully.
  • Device is not blocked by the firewall.

  Any ideas will be appreciated.  Thank you... LO

• If there is a problem with Microsoft Windows 7, why should I pay Microsoft to fix?

  I called Microsoft about some problems with Windows 7.  They told me my windows is deteriorating and they would charge me $99 to fix.

  Is this true?    If there is a problem with Microsoft Windows 7, why should I pay Microsoft to fix?    My computer is only 3 years old.

• Problems with Microsoft Lifecam HD-5001

  I installed the webcam above about 1 week ago and have since had problems with Skype-to-Skype calls.  Initially, I thought it was a problem with Skype, my Skype call today was ok, but the webcam turned itself, no matter how many times I turned it on!  I thought I'd try installing again, using the CD ROM that is labeled "microsoft LifeCam 3.0."  However, when I clicked on the Setup, a message came saying that a later version has already been installed?  Where should I go from here?  As you can probably, I'm a "techno-phobic", so the responses of a single syllable would be much appreciated? !!

  Hi Mitramonday,

  I suggest you to uninstall all previous versions of drivers installed for the Lifecam HD 5001 by following the steps below. Unplug the appliance before you uninstall.

  During the uninstallation, the device in the Device Manager, make sure that you follow the steps below:

  a. Click Start.

  b. access control panel > system > hardware > Device Manager.

  c. open Device Manager and expand the imaging device.

  d. right-click on the device Lifecam HD-5001 and uninstall the device.

  During the uninstallation of the device in Device Manager, make sure that you place a tick against 'delete the driver for this device '.

  Later, access the link below and download the latest drivers and firmware updates. Install it and check if it works.

• Problem with Microsoft Photo Editor

  I have thousands of photos on my PC (Vista/IE8) I could see without problem for years. But suddenly, even if I'm still able to import new pictures, when I try to open them I get the following message: Microsoft Photo Editor - error reading the file.

  But this seems to apply only to photos, including those that I have seen in the past, taken on my current camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC - FS7. Everything else seems to be affected.

  Also, oddly enough, I can see the photos in slideshow mode!

  I would appreciate a solution.

  Hello
   
  Microsoft Photo Editor is supplied with Microsoft Office 97 and the stand-alone versions of Microsoft Word 97 and Microsoft PowerPoint 97. Microsoft Photo Editor is installed when you perform a custom installation, or full from the CD-ROM.
   
  What is the format of the files you are trying to view?
  The link below talks about Photo Editor. Try to look at the troubleshooting section in the article below

  You ever need connect your device directly. Buy a card reader for
  the type of flash card your camera uses (they are cheap).
  Place the flash card and plug it into a USB port.

  Personally, I prefer to do it this way. It is easier and does not use
  the camera battery. I have both these card readers - one I keep on
  my desk, close my desktop computer and another that I keep in my
  Bag for laptop to use when traveling.

• Problems with Microsoft-tool to terminate malware

  Whenever I have download this tool from the microsoft update service I have problems with my laptop L10-104. The system stops after that one every time changing the period and the display resembles a church window.

  After that I deleted this tool, the laptop runs without problem. Is there someone with a similar problem?

  In fact, I don't download this tool, but that cannot be the finishing.

  Hello

  I never heard the show. I put t know what tool you mean exactly, but I think that it s a Microsoft problem and not a malfunction of the Toshiba laptop.
  I recommend visiting the Microsoft Knowledge base and checking if you can find more information on this tool.

• Problem with Half Life 2 display driver

  Please can someone help me?
  I just installed the game (Half Life 2)
  whenever I play the game everything is fine until I have quit the game, my laptop fell down and restarts.
  the error report I send said that there is a problem with my display driver.
  before I start the game, I get a message that says that my display driver is outdated and that I could get in trouble, because my computer is a laptop, (Nvidia) do not carry the Toshiba drivers.
  I've been on the Toshiba site and they have no display driver newer than the one I use now.
  Please could someone suggest something I could try.
  and Toshiba will bring a driver updated in the near future? This really seems a pity that the game seems to work verywell accept for this problem that exists.
  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P10 with a Nvidia G-FORCE FX GO5200 card inside.
  Your M Lovett.

  I have the same card and I get the same message, however without crashing.

  you have installed all the updates/fixes you can to ACE this may solve the problem.

  What about drivers who are the cause of the accident, one of my friends had a lot of problems with regularize them and crashing and it was running the game on a custom platform so maybe it's not that the real fault.

  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.

• Problems with Microsoft Office programs

  Original title: not interested in these community events

  I bought 2013 on the easy payment plan, and it's the only thing that is easy. Heartburn, problems threatening patience continues to accumulate.  I can't believe that when I installed windows 2013, my 2010 trial program has expired and none of the programs will open in the new program.  I used Microsoft 3.0 to 5, 8, professional and xp 2010.  Each unique program would automatically begin your files under the new facility.  With this program, unless I'm missing something won't do anything until you open each file - and you have to go through an extremely stressful process to send the file to the computer, open a program and expecting results.  It just has to be wrong.  When I receive an attachment document written in a Word, I can't open it.  I have to save it and go through get its opening in the downloads. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Someone at - it a copy of 2010 or 2007?

  In addition, why can't I talk to the geeks at Microsoft and get a response?
