• Satellite L300-2This - Webcam cannot be initialized

  Hello!

  I can't use my webcam on my laptop, since the day I installed Windows 7. Everything work fine, except the camera (it can not be initialized). I tried several drivers, but without success. Is there a driver or application for this webcam? It gives me headaches...

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are too many threads on webcam failure this forum...

  Remove all the drivers that you have installed previously, registry clean, restart. Look for the compatible driver [page drivers Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp] download and install. Also, check if is not blocked by the firewall or other security applications (just disable to check)

• Satellite P205-S6287 - webcam only takes snapshots using Win 7

  Hello.

  I recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit).
  When I did, I went through the typical rigmarole of updating my drivers and reinstall some programs or games lost. What I wasn't expecting, it was for my camera to completely stop working.

  I reinstalled the software of the camera, and it seemed to work until I tried to take a snapshot with the software after that. Now, the camera records video and audio recording, but it will not instant (I mainly use for).

  If I click on the Snapshot button, she acts like I clicked it, but no preview image and no new photos are saved in the folder my pictures.

  Any ideas? Or advice? Or help? Thank you!

  Hello

  Perhaps you should again check the path to the photo folder?
  Maybe the webcam records the images to another location on the HARD drive

• Microsoft Paint suddenly cannot be found/used

  Here's the deal; This pc is about a year and a half, things worked very well on that. About 1 month ago I went to use Paint in the drop-down list in the Windows Photo Gallery (he was always there with reliability, a single click and it would always appear as it is supposed to) and for some reason any, that he was no longer in the selection of the programs that it usually is. I clicked on start and typed in the search box in the paint and also Microsoft Paint and nothing is found...? I clicked on help and typed in the painting and found instructions for her as well as a link to bring up the program, which did, but there was also a small white box opened in it, I guess from my latest project, which will not be clear. I was able to use it a few times to provide assistance, but something is always fair and I can not understand how to fix it. I went to use the paint today still through the help option (the white box empty is still in there but it will not erase) and I tried to put a picture to change; He asks me if I want to save the empty white box and I click on no, then try to open a new project and I get "a sharing violation occurred when accessing...". "(the folder where it is located). I'm the only person using this pc, I was put in as an administrator since I've had and have not changed or all profiles with access limited and never had a problem like this before...? I have Windows Vista Basic. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance...

  Hello

  Please see the Knowledge Base Microsoft for all BSOD codes:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324103

  In any case, this means that you have integrated a bad driver AHCI or you don t use a.
  The point is before installing Windows XP, you need the right driver AHCI because otherwise you will get a BSOD or your HARD drive will not be recognized.
  On laptops equipped with Intel chipset, you need the Intel Storage Manager driver package because it contains the correct driver for you. You can download it on the Toshiba site or the Intel Web site.

  The drivers, you can copy on an external floppy drive and then you load it after booting from the XP disc by pressing F6. Or you create a new installation with our own drivers disc, and then you don't need an external floppy drive. For this, you can use nLite.

  Finally and most importantly, I think that this Toshiba link might be useful for you:

• Satellite R630 - integrated webcam does not

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  My built-in webcam on my Toshiba Satellite R630 spontaneously stopped working in the last two weeks.

  I tried:

  -Check if it is enabled in the BIOS and there is no option to select a webcam here.
  -Restore my laptop computer to a previous state when the camera worked. This no longer works.
  -Updated the driver for the webcam - it installs the driver but then it disappears and nothing happens.

  A few things that it might help to know:

  -In Device Manager, "imaging devices" are missing, so I can't find the driver for the webcam here.
  -J' used to get a pop-up whenever I turned on my laptop which was loading a webcam bluetooth but saying that he could not. This stopped happening; I think I turned it off in msconfig.
  -It is not a hardware problem
  -Yesterday, I had a weird time breakthrough - I downloaded an app on my phone to try to use it as a webcam through bluetooth. I had activated bluetooth on my phone and laptop. I plugged my phone into my laptop and the pop-up the camera bluetooth (see previous point) came, but this time worked without the error message. However, instead of my phone works like a webcam, the blue light came next to my integrated webcam and who has started working. I thought it was fixed then all closed and ejected my phone and webcam stopped working again. I tried to repeat this sequence, but with no joy.

  I'm really frustrated and ideas. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  If imagine device isn't listed in Device Manager, it means that the module is not found. Even if the driver is not installed, the module must be included in the BIOS as imagine device, unknown device, etc.
  But this isn't the case

  So I think there are two possibilities: the module's fault or the connection between the module and the motherboard (Controller) isn t put in place.

  As far as I know the internal webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
  If the connection drops (cable) the module will not be recognized in Device Manager

  From my point of few, it must be a nuisance material

• Satellite C650D - integrated webcam is locked by another application

  When I try to use the webcam on my Satellite C650D I get an error message "device locked by another application". I tried to use it through Skype and get a message "cannot start video, try closing other programs that could use your webcam ', although no other programs use my webcam...
  I reinstalled the latest drivers without result, what now?
  Thank you

  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 M305 starts plus-ERREUR resource conflict

  Satellite M305-S4910
  The system was the starter on all 3 of the 5th time. Now all I get at startup is:
  ERROR
  -Conflict PCI on the motherboard resources
  Bus: 0a, device: 01, function: 00
  ERROR
  -Conflict PCI on the motherboard resources
  Bus: 0a, device: 01, function: 02
  ERROR
  -Conflict PCI on the motherboard resources
  Bus: 0a, device: 01, function: 03

  Press to resume, installation

  I change what I can in the BIOS setup and no luck. I removed the motherboard wireless card and the hard disk, no boot. The worm of BIOS is 2.70, I want to update the BIOS to see if it will fix the problem, but cannot get past the error screen. This can be corrected?

  To be honest, it looks like to me a motherboard problem.
  The error says something about conflict PCI on the motherboard.
  I guess that this is related to certain components of the motherboard

  You want to update the BIOS?
  Hmm not sure if you could do that to be honest I put t think that this problem could be solved by upgrading the BIOS because it looks more like a hardware problem.

• Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

  I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

  I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

  The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

  However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

  One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

  Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

  I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

  When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

  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)

• Re: Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E) - Webcam driver open fail

  I had to replace the hard drive on my PSAJ4E of the A300 and when I reloaded Vista 32 and install all drivers hardware Toshiba everything went well except for a Chicony webcam.

  The side menu is there but it won't work, giving a "driver webcam open fail." "Please restart camera or computer" error.

  I updated the Bios to 4.20
  I first used the original Toshiba, the 20080428125023 webcam driver download (V1.07.175).
  I tried with 'closed the cover 3/4 '.
  I have searched and read dozens of similar problems. I've tried a few, even edit the ini setting. Nothing helps.
  I even tried drivers XP (V1.7.144.0611), 32-bit and 64-bit versions and even a driver from the gateway. Nothing seems to work for this cam.

  What now?

  I also now get "the requested section is not found in the INF file" when I try to uninstall and reinstall the driver through Device Manager.
  I have the choice of
  6.198.1.0
  6.2.208.424
  6.2.238.1217
  all give the same error...

• Satellite M200 - Chicony webcam not compatible with Skype

  Greetings!

  I have a Satellite M200 series and my Webcam Chicony works very well with YM. When I tried to use it on Skype, he'll tell me that "Skype has not found video source preferred. Webcam can be used in another application. Then I tried to move to the tools in Skype and checked the video settings, I changed the cam of default for a Chicony USB 2.0, still the same error message. The next thing I did was open the software assistant camera, but by clicking on the buttons will do nothing. I can open the device itself. So, I updated the device driver in Device Manager and the result is that I had the best and the last driver installed. Still not working in Skype.

  Any suggestions? I'll be very grateful for any help. Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that Skype is one of the best applications to work with the webcam. I use it on the first day of purchase and there is no problem at all.
  What you can do is to restart your laptop, switch-webcam help software, start the Skype and try to configure the webcam in Skype settings again.

  He has to work. It works on my Satellite P200 and my Satellite U400 friends. He has to work in your case too.
