Qosmio G40 - webcam and windows live messenger

Well I've had this problem before and was solved with the installation of Service Pack 1. Well now it comes back to haunt me again! Windows live messenger does not register the webcam. The cam works and I am registered in the control panel etc. It is only on live messenger it does not...

As described above, I have a Qosmio G40 with Windows Vista Ultimate and windows live messenger.

Live messenger is set to allow phone calls and Messenger live in general - but there is no exceptions for webcam in the Security Panel?

Looks quite simply that the cam is not lit - I have a black screen with static...

Any ideas to fix this?

* 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".

  • Qosmo G40 - built Chicony Webcam incompatible with windows live messenger

    I can't have the built-in webcam to work on my brand new G40 - 108 with Windows Live Messenger. I get the following message appears when you try to set up "audio and video setting" the Herald: "Windows cannot connect to this webcam. Close any program that may be using this webcam and restart the wizard."

    He connected with technical support from Toshiba, which were also unable to solve the problem. We have tried to disable both webcam at startup apps. If both executed at startup, the chicony software does not work.

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'll update this post if I get a resolution on their part.

    Thank you!

    Yes I have a solution.
    Remove the old software and the driver for the system.
    Go to the Toshiba European page and download the latest software for a chicony and the driver.
    Then install on the laptop and enjoy.

    Notes; Restart the laptop everytime after reinstalling the driver.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

    Also this message...

    * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    * HELP! *

    Thank you

    Folic

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.

  • Changes to Windows Live Messenger

    Who may be affected,

    I recently installed the beta version of Windows Live Messenger and my extreme disappointment, the use of the webcam is no longer available. Why is this?

    I do not understand why you deleted this option in the program. I had several throughout my time hotmail accounts and have been used so the existence of applications that I use it almost daily as well as various other messenger users, I know.

    Due to this change when I install the new version, I assumed that if I reinstalled the version, I had before I would get this back action... However, this was not the case and I was very aggravated that I wasted time doing this for no reason.

    From what I can see of your last program 'development', Microsoft are trying too hard to make their own version of Skype... that many people use less often because she is of the video capabilities of Windows Live Messenger. Will tell you that companies regularly use video calls as a form of communication, but from what I see, your video call feature is far from being desirable and was not always reliable. Apart from that, in all honesty, your beta version is much more user-friendly and visually appealing. However, it would be obviously more attractive if she had the choice of video calls and webcam, as he always did.

    I really hope you like what I said, as I'm sure many of your other customers are asking, and you did a little upset by the big change to the program. I look forward to hear from you.

  • Windows live messenger stops working after a while

    Whenever I connect Windows live I get a message that this communication platform on-line Windows has stopped working and windows will close the program and I am started mid convo quickly. I do not know why this happens, I just reformat my computer and had to reinstall windows and have this problem since. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall new but no luck. Help, please!

    Hello AshNight,

    You should post in the Windows Live help as Mick has suggested. They will come back with help.

    However, in the meantime, you can do a repair on your own.
    Have you installed programs before this problem started? This may include antivirus, e-mail programs, etc.
    I've seen some posts where some products Antivirus and cause of conflict. So as a troubleshooting step, remove your antivirus (not just disable) and see if there is a conflict with your AntiVirus and Windows Live messenger. (Do not forget and don't go out when you do not have an antivirus installed on intenet).

    If that doesn't help, then do a clean boot and see if there is a conflict. You disable all startup items and services of third parties at boot. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loader program or service.

  • Windows Live Messenger - new email notification

    I am running Windows 7 ultimate and Windows Live Messenger Version 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.416)
    When I get a new message appears a window on this subject and the counter is updated to 1 new email. When I read that e-mail, the counter is erased, but when I right click WLM in my taskbar, I see even 1 new message). The only way to get rid of it is by closing WLM and it starts again, but whenever a new email arrives, the story starts again. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Hello!

    The webcam on my Satellite L300 works very well so I can't tell what is the reason for this, but have you tried to update to Windows Live Messenger? See the Microsoft Web site for an update.

    In addition, you must update the driver for the webcam that you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A100: webcam works does not for windows live messenger on Vista

    I recently lost my picture when working for video calls in windows live messenger, the sound of two ways and I can see them, but no one can see me.
    I also bought an external webcam, and it does not work either.

    When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly.
    I tried to update the drivers but they are up-to-date.
    I wonder if it's a problem of Windows live or Toshiba.
    I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the new version of messenger.

    > I also bought an external webcam and it doesn t work either.
    > When I go to Device Manager it says that the two cams don't work properly

    For me, it looks like a windows system problem.
    Usually two webcams operate independently from each other and so I don t think that it is a webcam driver problem I think that it s windows or windows live messenger problem
    Maybe something confused keys registry or files may be some updates to update or similar

    In your case, I recommend you to uninstall the software of webcam software, internal external webcam and the windows live messenger.
    Then, you must clean the BONES and the registry tool like CCLeaner cleaning, for example. It the free tool.

    After this, reinstall the Chicony webcam software and test functionality without installation of windows live messenger.
    If the webcam will be functions then you could install the windows live messenger again.
