• 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.

• Satellite P300D - 12L - problem of microphone with Yahoo messenger and Skype

  Hi again!

  I use Windows Vista 64 SP2 and I have a problem with the microphone, if I use Yahoo messenger, Skype.
  If I want someone to talk to, no one can hear me, or I don't hear from him. There is no difference whether I use Internet or wireless cable. I get the message "wifi weak signal" or something.
  I have to mention the fact that, among all attempts made so far once worked, but just once. Im going to crazy. Can someone help me please?

  Thanks in advance

  Microphone internal generally on Toshiba laptops work correctly with different messengers, especially with Skype.
  I checked on several laptops and did not notice a single problem.

  So I guess there must be a problem with the audio settings.
  Did you install own OS or the Toshiba Recovery for 64-bit image?
  Audio driver is installed correctly?
  Have you tested with headphones?

• Satellite A300 - Chicony webcam does not work after upgrade to windows 7

  I'm frustrated so I came here to see if anyone knows a way to help solve this problem.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista 64 - bit pre-installed. After about a year or two to have the laptop, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. In the process, I believe that the driver of my webcam (Chicony usb 2.0 camera) has been eliminated.

  When I go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the webcam is not listed; nor is "imaging devices."

  I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

  My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.

  If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please, I beg you, let me know.

  > My computer has registered my webcam as 'unknown device '.
  > I tried to download the driver manually, but I get an error message "Webcam open fail." Restart the computer or the camera. »

  This means that the the webcam driver is not installed correctly.
  Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and install the software/driver webcam just for this model of laptop.

  If the installation fails, restart the laptop and the tent.
  This should solve the problem.

• Qosmio G40 - no webcam with live Messenger

  Hello world

  I installed Win 7 on my Qosmio G40 instead of Vista and everything work fine except the webcam that does not work with live Messenger (only) no matter what I do (I tried several drivers, re-installed Win messenger live, close some processes, etc ;) I get this error message:

  '* Cannot start your webcam. "Check if it is not used by another program and retry."

  What the hell can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  I read a lot of discussions about the problems with webcam and messenger Ms.
  The problem with Vista has been resolved by the SP1 from Microsoft Update.
  Now, it seems to be that the same problem with Win 7 looks like a thing of compatibility

  However, because the message says that the webcam is used by another application, I suppose that some background processes lock the webcam

  You must remove webcam and messenger MS startup in msconfig.
  After that, restart the laptop and don t start the webcam software if you want to use it in Messenger from Ms.

  Hello

  At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

  In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
  The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

  This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

  I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

  I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

• Satellite A200 hangs only with AC adapter

  Hello

  My toshiba satellite A200 I have owned for about 3 years has had a problem for a while or when I plug the power adapter into the laptop fails.
  I bought a new power adapter, I have re-installed windows several times and a few other things all to nothing does not.
  Her dosent computer seem to be blocked in safe mode for a reason even if I'm sure that it's a hardware problem.
  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  Hello

  Since the new OS installation didn't help, I think that could be a problem with a motherboard.
  The point why the OS goes not down running in safe mode is simply;
  Safe mode is a diagnostic of a computer OS mode. A few basic drivers would be responsible and safe mode will have managed to reduce the functionality and many non-core components are disabled.

  According to me, the laptop computer mother should be checked and if necessary should be replaced.

• Satellite A200 - white screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 was recently gives me a white screen with 3 beeps at every start. I took it to my friend for repair and they told me that I had to take the battery out and put it so that it starts. It worked for him, but not me. I called technical support and told me it was a hardware problem with the memory or the motherboard.

  Anyone have the same problem and know what to do? I wouldn't mind not check memory myself I don't know where to start...

  Thank you

  Hi hpthinker,

  I think the support that you called is right and it s a hardware problem. Perhaps with memory or the motherboard

  The best way to fix this would be new modules of RAM because they can be easily replaced in a few minutes and are not expensive nowadays.
  Just so buy new modules of RAM in your local computer store, or ask your authorized service provider for this problem. They can offer you new RAM modules and you can test it again.

  By the way: If you have two RAM modules, test it with a module only.
