• Satellite A300-276 - webcam does not - locked by another application

  Hi guys,.

  My name is Mirella and I want to know one thing.
  My webcam works well, but my computer was not.
  Then my mother sent him to her friend (he is a computer technology).

  I don't know what he was doing, but my computer came back with the same things :/ And now my webcam kept good job. But after a few weeks my webcam stopped work :(
  I don't know what happened.

  I uninstalled a few programs because maybe he can return to work, but does not work it. If I open the camera software that say "Locked by another application" but I don't have any strange program on my computer.

  Please help me!
  Thank you<>

  Do you too uninstall webcam software?
  Generally, this error appears if another software like Skype for example uses the webcam at the moment at the start of the webcam software.

  You must uninstall the webcam software in Control Panel-> software
  Then you must also uninstall the driver for the webcam in Device Manager. The webcam should be listed under imaging devices.

  Reboot the laptop. Download the CCleaner and clean the registry and operating system using this tool. Reboot once more and install the webcam software once more.

  Also make sure that other software like Skype does not work at the same time.

  From my experience, this should help.

• Webcam not working only not on the Satellite - the unit is locked by another application

  I use the webcam on the laptop on Skype that was fine one day following order.
  I've updated the drivers and all, but I get a message on the toshiba webcam application indicating... .device is locked by another application... when I try in Skype, I get the message... cannot start video try closing other applications that may be using your webcam.

  The problem is that I have no idea of what he does.
  I do not use yahoo Messenger or any other program.

  The only program that I've never used webcam for Skype is.

  Help, please!

  Hey Buddy,

  Can send you more information about the exact model of laptop and operating system?

  What drivers you have updated?

  Usually if you reinstall the driver for the webcam, this should solve your problem and should make the webcam usable again. You can download the new software of the webcam on the official website of Toshiba.
  In addition, I recommend using a registry cleaner like CCleaner which can remove old registry keys.

• Satellite P300 does not load

  Hello.

  I have Toshiba Satellite P300. It's almost 4 years.
  However, 3 months ago it started not not to charge the battery. I removed the battery and the computer left only with the adapter.
  Now it does not charge to one, I have to wait until electricity or sth will reach a level to start the computer.

  So, please help, if anyone has had similar problems or know the reason why and what to do.
  Maybe its adapter problem, or something wrong with the connection between the adapter and the pc. I don't know and have no money yet to check it out.

  Someone knows what's the problem? Thank you.

  Hello

  These issues can be related to different reasons;
  -AC adapter problem
  -Question-motherboard (I especially m thinking to provide electronic problem)

  But I don't think it could be malfunction AC adapter because the laptop can lights after either a specific power level reached or laptop can start after a longer time being connected to the power adapter. Is this good?

  Well, looks like a mobo problem but it's just a suggestion
  The parts must be checked first, before replacing

• Satellite P300 does not start

  My laptop Satellite P300 running Vista will not start. Only, it freezes on the Toshiba Logo.
  I tried to boot into SafeMode using F8, but this does not seem to do anything.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  You have created recovery DVDs as suggested by the reminder of Toshiba?

• My Satellite P300 does not illuminate

  My Satellite P300 (PSPC4A - 03Q 018) switched on me unexpectedly while I was playing a game. I noticed he was running a little hot (it was on a level with clear vents office). I checked the time CPU. with the software and it showed levels up to 80 c while just browse Internet and up to 100 C + all playing games.

  So I blew the vents with compressed air - no change.

  After a little research, I decided to renew the thermal grease. The pulling down of some of the fat has hardened as it seems like a useful exercise. After putting together I have nothing. The only life that I had was a quick flash of the LED AC (the symbol of the plug on the front of the palm rest) when I plugged in, but that's all.

  What I've tried so far: I stripped down and everything reinstalled at least three times. This includes the processor, even if I didn't remove it at the beginning when I replaced the thermal grease. I reinstalled all the cables. I tried it with just the battery, just the AC line and at the same time. I tried to remove the RAM chips and put one by one in different locations. I tried to remove the battery and the AC, holding down the power for 30 seconds button line and try again with just the battery, just the AC line and at the same time.

  I think I either ESD'ed the card or mother or other component/s but I hope it is something much much painful/cheaper. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sounds that something bad happened to your hardware for laptop
  Maybe the RAM modules are faulty or the motherboard.
  I think that no one here would be able to tell which part is malfunctioning.

  What to say; If you n t know what part is affected, so I recommend asking a technician for a short control, I mean it is the best step before buying parts including don t need to be replaced

  After the hardware parts have been checked, you can decide what you want to do. sell this laptop faulty or replace parts
  But the new motherboard is not cheap...

• Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

  I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
  When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
  None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

  I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

  I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

  Thank you

  > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
  Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

  Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
  You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?

  Device Manager does not detect also no error with the camera

  Hey,.

  You run the internal webcam software at the same time? If Yes, it could assign the webcam feature in Skype so close to the webcam software before you start Skype and use the webcam.

  If it doesn't work try reinstalling the driver for the webcam of the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you install the new webcam software, delete the old first, restart the computer. I recommend also using CCleaner to clean the registry before installing the latest webcam software.
  Also, these old registry keys affect the features of webcam CCleaner would be worth a try. :)

• Satellite A215: chicony webcam not working - locked by another application

  Hello.

  I am desperately looking for help with my webcam Chicony 2.0 integrated who settled in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A215.
  It did not work properly since I was the last computer in August 2007.
  Always says webcam locked by another application.

  Now, the webcam is not found at all.
  I went to Device Manager and it says the drivers are updated.

  I am so confused, I don't know what to do. any help would be greatly appreciated.

  * 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".

• The product key on my Satellite Pro P300 does not work

  The product key on my Satellite Pro P300 does not work.
  I entered the key from the sticker on the back of the computer. What I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  Why use this product key?

  Firstly the Toshiba recovery image is already enabled and you don t need this key more activations.

  Second, it's an OEM key and it will not work with other versions of Vista!

  Cheers mate

• Webcam does not. View "locked by another application."

  Hello.  I own a Toshiba Satellite L500D - ST2532 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I'm having a problem with my webcam that everytime I try using yahoo messenger, a pop-up comes up and it gives me a drop down menu to the choice of the webcam to use (only one "USB2.0 UVC webcam") and then you can either click on 'ok', 'Cancel' or 'apply '.  Cancel or apply can be clicked countless times and nothing happens.  If you click 'ok' then the same dialog box appears and you click 'ok' and the window that would have normally your face in there for yahoo messenger webcam has a message that says "Sorry, no webcam was found on the computer" and a smaller dialog box that says: 'error' as the name of the box, then the box says "the webcam is not connected.  I tried to open the webcam with toshiba software and an error message of "device is locked by another application".  The only software that works is face recognition software.  My webcam has worked before and I read another forum that other users have had the same problem but with windows vista and I still find any forum for windows 7 users.  If I could have some information on this it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  Hi MajorWaters

  Try the next step. The problem should be solved:

  Control Panel > system > Device Manager. GOTO imaging devices and right-click on the device (for example the Chicony USB 2.0 Camera) and choose "update driver software".

  Best regards and thank you

• Satellite C660: webcam message - device is locked by another application

  I have a Satellite C660 notebook PC series. the webcam was working fine with the old driver installed...
  I work a little bit and use Skype to talk to my wife while he's stuck in a hotel room...

  I connected as normal but Skype could not find the camera, I opened the camera manually using the navigation on the desktop bar and got an error message "Device is locked by another application" I quit all other programs that can use it, but still got the same message.

  Still couldn't get it to work then looked in the Task Manager and the process tree to see if something was running (did not know really what I was looking for in the process.)

  I then updated and reinstalled the driver - this is the latest version of the driver and changed the appearance of the home screen of camera - still have the same error message.

  Tried several times to the installation of the driver, but nothing... and yet the face recognition screen lights up and uses the webcam... so I know that this product works, but he usually opened manually or with Skype

  Help, please

  Hello

  I think that you can not use the cam as part of the Skype because the webcam is blocked by other software, I suppose that its face recognition.

  I recommend doing this:
  Uninstall the webcam software
  Uninstall the facial recognition
  Restart the device
  Install the webcam software
  Install face recognition
  and then test it with Skype.
