  Hello

  I think you should first update / reinstall the driver for the webcam / software.
  You will get the webcam software / driver for Win 7 of the Toshiba UE driver page:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  before you would be stars the webcam driver installation, I recommend you to uninstall the pre-installed software (Control Panel-> programs and features)
  Then restart the laptop and install the new downloaded drivers

• Re: Satellite L500 - 19 X - start the Webcam with Windows application

  I lost my webcam on the Desktop Application.

  Can I bring back by accessing the Web camera Application / Program (86) / Toshiba / Web camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it do not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run has ticked.

  My laptop is the Satellite L500 - 19 X, Windows 7
  Thanks for any help.

  Hey William,

  Normally in the webcam software you choose whether the application should be started with Windows or not.
  Did you check that?

  In addition, you should check it in msconfig (start > run > msconfig). There you can find a list of all the programs that start up with Windows. Make sure that the software of the webcam is not disabled.

  In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the software, but it only takes a few minutes. ;)

• Satellite L500 - missed strikes & touchpad to stop intermittently.

  Hi all

  I recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite L500.

  I noticed that when you type, I missed here and there strikes.

  When I press and hold a key that the letter runs as normal then stops then runs again. It occurs intermittently and a pain.

  I also realized that the touchpad is having the same problem - intermittently, he stops for a split second then works.

  Has anyone else had the same problem?

  See you soon

  Hello

  > I have noticed that when you type, I ran out of strikes here and there.
  Have you noticed even when the touchpad is disabled?
  You can disable the touchpad through FN + F9

  Generally, it is difficult to say what might cause this strange thing is that this problem does not appear when the USB mouse is connected.
  Have you installed the USB mouse driver? If so, then a 3rd party driver can cause this

  Also check if your BIOS is up to date
  I read about similar behavior in the past and some people might solve this new BIOS update Setup

• Satellite L500: webcam shows a group's default image - do not live photo

  I have Toshiba Satellite L500 and im having problems with my Webcam. It could be very simple to fix, but for the life of me can not understand!

  I click on photograph, and when it goes in the capture screen it will not display a live peak.
  Instead, it shows just a default image of a group of people looking at the ocean.

  If you click on capture or just record, he captures or records this image instead of what came the web should see. If you remove all the image in the preview screen it still shows this one photo!

  The laptop is less then a year old and I rarely use the webcam. This problem has only just begun.

  The webcam has already displayed a live picture.

  Help, please!

  First remove the software from the system.
  Then restart the computer, and then install the webcam software that you can download on the European driver Toshiba page.

  Does anyone know what brand these webcams are i.e. Logitech?

  Yes as shown, I have recently purchased a Toshiba satellite L500 on a month and half ago.
  When I used the webcam it was fine, but then, all of a sudden it seems he has turned REALLY grainy, especially when, in low light conditions where it is used to good work and be clear and sharp.

  I tried to uninstall the toshiba webcam software, the driver for the webcam and reinstall both without success. I can say that I have nothing to make this happen. The computer that is running windows vista.

  I uploaded a picture for comparison as to how it was first and how it is now, I hope that someone on this forum can help me to solve this problem without having to climb on toshiba.

  Thanking you in advance for reading and your answers.

• Webcam does not work on Satellite L500-1DT

  Recently got a Satellite L500-1DT for my mother who is learning to use a computer for the first time and everything works apart from the webcam integrated, that was a big part of the decision to purchase.

  The blue light comes on and it records sound but no pictures. Also, it does not take the photo or tour and in both cases just shows the image of cloudy sunset which seems to be a default turned on the program. I tried troubleshooting for her, but there is nothing in the help guide that tells you how to solve this problem, if it doesn't work.
  The software is already preloaded when it was purchased (we got it online) and I don't want to uninstall it because I don't think that we have a record.

  Can anyone help?

  Hey Buddy!

  I m not very good but in my opinion you should try to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Just check the Toshiba page for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  But before installing the latest version, first remove the old and reboot the laptop.

  Regarding the disc you want to say, as far as I know Toshiba laptop will not be delivered with the recovery disk. This means that you must create yourself using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. This disc contains an image on the factory settings. It is the same version that you have started the laptop, the first time.

  By the way: normally after the first boot, you should get a message of this type. Can you confirm this?

• Satellite L500 - Microsoft webcam does not work on Windows 7

  I just bought a camera from microsoft as my other older version Trust webcam is not compatible with Windows 7. I would probably have no problems with a Microsoft webcam? Fake!

  Whereas before on Vista, my faithful trust webcam worked well on yahoo messenger, I find now that I can get my Webcam - file - Preferences - settings of the device, click device settings, but only shows the camera controls exposure. All other options on the camera controls are grayed out, including Zoom, I've always used on my Toshiba Vista laptop previous. Very frustrating!

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hi elstree.

  Why using an external webcam If your laptop is already equipped with a webcam? AFAIK all L500 models have such a built-in webcam.

  In my opinion, you should try the internal one. I m sure its functioning with your Messenger, I have also the webcam internal to Skype without any problem. :)

  In addition, you must contact Microsoft about this problem. It has nothing to do with Toshiba.

• Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

  Hello
  I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
  When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
  change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
  with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
  If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

  So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
  Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

  Thanks for any help!

  Hello

  I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

  First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

  So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
  Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

  A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

• Satellite L500 - 20 X - switch WLAN does not work after upgrade to Windows 8

  Hello

  I extend my Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X for Windows 8.
  Unfortunately, since this update my WLAN switch is no longer working. All function keys work only (switch WLAN) F8 to F7, and F9 (touchpad) is more work.

  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards
  Klaus

  Satellite L500 is not win 8 taken upgrade supported, so I think that the problem is a missing driver or software

  As far as I know to be able to use the keys FN added value package to win 8 must be installed.
  Check another area driver Toshiba notebook series supporting the Win 8.
  Maybe you could use the VAP released for other series.
