• Satellite A200 - Chicony Webcam with Yahoo messenger

  I have a Toshiba A200-PSAE0E with Windows Vista Home Premium. My built-in Webcam (Chicony USB 2.0, 1.3MP camera) worked very well with all applications including Yahoo Messenger.

  The driver is installed fine and support both camera software.

  I installed Office 2003, and it is the only change that I made on the software.

  My Webcam now works with Camera Assistant software, but not in Yahoo Messenger.

  While I checked in the Yahoo help for the needs of webcam it clearly says the color scheme / Compression should have the format RGB, I420, or IYUV, which I did not, instead I YUY2.

  How come my Webcam with Yahoo messenger access.

  I think you don't need all the new drivers, because you already said the webcam worked fine using the original installed drivers.
  I don't know exactly why it is not possible to use it with Yahoo messenger after installation of Microsoft Office 2003, but I think that there are some confused system or drivers files.
  But to be honest, this seems very strange and I can't believe that the Office 2003 could have a bad influence on the webcam?  :|

  Eventually, you will need to reinstall the operating system or should try to restore the operating system to the previous system to check if it helps to solve this problem.
  That's all I can suggest.

• Satellite A200-J01: problems with Chicony webcam with Yahoo messenger and MSN

  Dear friends

  I just bought a Satellite A200-J01 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium pre-installed on it. My problem is when I want to use my webcam (Chicony USB built-in 2.00) to have a video call with MSN and Yahoo messenger Internet, suddenly, it stops working and it shows a message that the webcam is not connected and no webcam was found on your computer.

  And then when I log out Yahoo messenger, come out of her and run Camera Assistant Software it shows this message "Locked by another application" Although there is no other applications running.

  The problem remains, unless I restart the computer. I read all the topics and messages as in my case in this site, but none of them helped me. I want to know if someone has encountered this problem, if this chicony webcam is compatible with yahoo and msn messenger and finally what I can do about it.

  Hello

  What about software chicory and the driver update?
  Please check if the software most recent is available and has been released. If so, remove it the old an and after reboot the new install the most recent version of this software chicony.

  It seems that similar problems appear on laptops from different manufacturers that use the Chicony webcam.
  Everything looks like the chicony Vista software is not 100% compatible with MSN, yahoo Messenger, Skype etc programs.

• Qosmio G40-108: problem with the highest starange display resolution

  I just had mine but on its highest resolution all Web pages have these 11 blocks rectangular semi, barely visible, only the bottom, each about an inch long, is this normal and should I send it to the object of an investigation?

  Hello

  It is very nice to hear that you already have the new Qosmio notebook. I can't say much about your problem because without a screenshot, it is not easy to understand what you mean exactly. On my Qosmio G30 (with the same HD resolution) I have no problem at all. Because of this I can't really understand what the problem is here.

  If possible send a link where we can see what it looks like. Your description is not enough.
  BTW: have you noticed that on web pages only?

• Live messenger activation causes poor video quality

  Whenever I have activate Live messenger (Windows xp, version 2009, Build 14.0.8117.416) my monitor turns off completely. After a few seconds the video links and this is horrible. Right-click on a zone empty of my desktop and go to properties, a time I'm on the view tab, I see that my video quality went to 8-bit, low. I can use the drop-down list box and select 32 - bit and 'ok', and my video quality goes back to normal. However, whenever I click on a link in live messenger, or select an option Menu tab in live messenger that my video goes back to 8 bits.  What's worse, is that my Messenger friend sent me a video link 'you tube '. By clicking on the link caused my video problem to cycles in the horrible back 8-bit to 32-bit normal. Every few seconds, the screen goes white and back, it is the other video quality.  Previously, I was able to have video conversations with my friend, but now we have problems (she can see and hear me, I can't hear him). I also noticed that the 'video', and the point of 'Photo' of the bar menu is grayed out. Live messenger does not show even I have a webcam, although this option is selected.  Why do I have all this trouble with live messenger. It started a few months ago.   Oh, one last thing... When I close Live Messenger, my video quality returns to normal as if nothing happened.

  Hi DavidSrams,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  Method 1

  I suggest that reduce you the hardware acceleration on your computer and check if it helps.

  (a) click Start, click run, type desk.cpl, and then click OK.

  (b) click on the settings tab and then click Advanced.

  (c) in the performance tab or on the Troubleshooting tab, move the Hardware Acceleration all the way to the right ( Full position).

  (d) click OKand then click close.

  (e) If you are prompted to restart your computer, click Yes.

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I suggest that you install the updated drivers for the graphics card on the computer by visiting adapter manufacturer's Web site to download and install the drivers, check if it helps.

• Drivers Windows 7 for the Qosmio G40-12 s

  I have a Qosmio G40 - 12 s with windows Vista 32-bit Edition full
  And I install a Windows7 Ultimate 32 bit instead of vista, before I had to download all the drivers in this link (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
  I select these choices:
  Laptop > Qosmio > Qosmio G Series > Qosmio G40 > PQG40E > Windows7 32 Bit > ALL > ALL > English > search

  but I think that there is no version of Windows7 that vista has, for example: there are no drivers for Windows7 infrared but here one for Vista
  He is there not TEMPRO, ASSENT, silent acoustic, AMT, online Information product, Manager of remote control, Touchpad Driver, tiles for Mobility Center, etc... For windows 7!
  My Vista driver was 27 driver - windows 7 driver only 19!

  Driver 8 was missing in this link, we find that drivers?

  I find TouchPad driver and I found one for her, but I can't found pilot infrared and Manager remotely so my remote not working do not now?

  Please advise me!

  You are right. Some drivers are not available. I noticed the same thing for my Satellite A300.
  For missing drivers, you can install the Vista drivers.

  I did the same thing and everything works fine.

• Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

  He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
  He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

  I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

  I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

  It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Hello

  You also have these lines on an external monitor?
  If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

  These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

  But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

• Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback

  I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!

  What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)

  I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
  Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.

  > I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
  According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.

  PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//message.jspa?MessageID=107067#107067

  However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

• Qosmio G40-108-dvd/video playback quality

  You just bought the Qosmio G40 - 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. EAD all reports and went for the superb view report. I am very disappointed by the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX, Xvid, h264). The colors are bland bland and not all that sharp.

  Compared to my Toshiba 3 year, mid-range machine running Windows XP Home edition, it is pretty poor. I did not test anything.

  Am I missing something or is it the fault of Vista. I tried to load Windows XP Home edition, but could not because it came with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help? Please, I beg you.

  Hello James

  I'm really surprised that your question is marked as replied. You have the solution to the problem described? Please let us know everything is OK now and I hope that you will be able to watch DVDs.

• Qosmio G40: How to watch and record digital terrestrial television

  I bought this G40 to watch and record digital terrestrial television, but apparently can't find the interactive parts (red button) of the transmissions.
  Toshiba has said I have to use a set - top box. What is c? It is not a machine for processing of digital information? That is to say a computer?
  Why can't it do it?

  In addition, the teletext on the remote control key does not seem to do anything.

  Does anyone know how it could be improved?
