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 A200/A205 - problems with start-up and sleep modus

    I have a problem with my Toshiba (running on Windows Vista).

    When I start the computer, sometimes it starts normally. But often, it starts to beep, I can hear the fan start fan and lights up blue. But the system unbootable and I see only a black screen. When I turn off and try again, the ringtone happen or it starts normally. Sometimes I have to turn it on three times and sometimes it starts the first time.

    The other problem is when my laptop into sleep mode. Sometimes when I push to the bottom of the screen, but also when it rises. It turns into sleep normally, but it won't come out. I see only a black screen. I always turn it off and restart.

    I don't know much about computer and computer-language programs, but I really hope someone can tell me what to do. I bought recently and I can't work with it like I want to.

    Hello

    This code beep at startup always means there's a bad material work so I think that there is not much you can do.
    The problem could be related to everything, RAM, card graph, processor, motherboard, etc. and it is not easy to diagnose it exactly.

    What you can do is to test the RAM with Memtest86 or other memory diagnostics tool. Maybe he can find something

    If this isn't the case, I recommend you contact an authorized service provider. Guys can you help solve this problem. :)

  • Satellite Pro C650D - problems with the audio and game controllers

    Hello

    I recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones and game controllers.
    Sometimes the microphone stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

    Stakeholders sometimes still work when I connect headset.
    Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers while some coming through the headphones.

    I have a usb game controller which also did not work everything properly.
    If I assign buttons in the program that they do not work in the game.

    All these devices are in Device Manager in a group that makes me think it's sort of annoying update doubtful that messes with them.

    Any body have similar problems or know what to do better?

    Hello

    Can you please send some details on the laptop model and the system you are using?

    With regard to the issue of sound/mic:
    > The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

    Are you talking about internal microphone or external? This only happens using Skype?
    In your case I would test the microphone using different applications to make sure that is not a Skype related issue.

    > Yet sometimes the speakers work when I connect headset.
    I recommend this thread:

    The user has had a similar problem, but this phenomenon was linked to the Realtek HD Audio Manager settings.

    + There, finally I could re-enable the setting "enable popup dialog box, when the unit is plugged. +

    + So now when I plug an external speaker or headphones, it appears, and I select the option "helmet" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+

    I put t think its problem of laptop in my opinion, you must make sure that the controller is compatible with the games you play and also recommended to check some info provided by the manufacturer of the game controller.

    Thank you very much

    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 A200-25Z: problem with display driver

    Hello

    I am trying to install WIN XP on an A200 25Z. In the beginning, everything seemed to work fine, but now I constantly receive a blue screen before loading xp building saying something like memory issue on pilot ati2mtag.dll

    Sometimes it starts but then when I have to restart the next time it starts again...

    I reinstalled xp now several times, extend the bios to version xp but still the problem remains the same.

    Anyone else had a similar experience like this?

    Best

    > The problem is now, as a first step, that it seemed to work. But about two weeks later after I installed a game that at the next restart came with a blue screen. The game itself was no problem. Just on the next reboot. And since then all I try doesn't really help.

    It seems that the error with you graphic driver appears only after the installation of the game. To me, this looks like a compatibility issue with the graphics driver and the game installed.

    I noticed that some other series of laptops use the same Mobility Radeon X 2600 graphics card.

  • Satellite C850 - found problems with the networking and the FN key

    Hey everybody,

    I work on a Satellite Toshiba C850, that my parents recently bought and spin in a certain number of questions.

    (1) wireless won't connect to my network. Have done the following: verified by connecting on two other computers, reset the router, the open network, reset the map, reinstalled the realtek drivers, checked the settings in the networking of Toshiba Utilities. End result is he's going to try, and fail. Wired LAN works fine.

    (2) FN key does not work. Have you checked the region and it is OK, have tried to use the Flash cards - no change, checked with the screen keyboard and can check the FN key does not register.

    I noticed that the first problem is common, but there are obvious positive results. If anyone can offer any assistance, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Before you begin to discuss your problems can you please tell us what OS you are using?
    Are you using the original OS that you got with your laptop? I mean original recovery image has been tested and works correctly, with the factory settings that all should especially the FN keys.

    1 / What do you mean with refusing? your WLAN is visible for your laptop?

    2 / if there is problem with the feature keys FN and you use Win7 try please reinstall extra package from Toshiba.

  • 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 5200 903: problems with Fn + F5 and button Middle YPP

    Hello
    I updated my Win XP Home for Win XP Pro and installed all the goodies of toshiba from the home page. Two things do not work as expected if:
    * Fn + F5 is not scroll the screens available
    * The YPP middle button cannot be used as a middle mouse button

    Don't know why Fn + F5 does not work, all other Fn keys work as expected. They show the OSD, too. FN + F5 does not display the OSD menu and no service :/

    The YPP button: I tried the driver on the site of toshiba and synpatics.com
    The problem is: in Control Panel, I can choose functions to each button. The "middle button" function is available for the left and the right key, but not the middle. And it is not recognized as button in the Middle, but like PageUp.

    Any ideas? The laptop is a Satellite 5200 903.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Ataraxis

    First of all I must tell you that the Satellite 5200 is a great unit. If I found one that doesn't cost a lot of money, I will buy it.

    For your questions:

    As far as I know if you want to use the FN + F5 key combination you must install TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for Display Devices V2.1.0.0 - 1. I hope that this tool is installed correctly. If you want you can try to install again.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that this little button in the Middle does not have the same function as mouse button of the medium, as a dial and it will be used to start the Launcher of sPad. If you want you can check it in s. manuals I've read n t, but I hope you can find a good explanation about the features of this little button.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite 1110-Z15: problem with Recovery CD and DVD player

    I currently have a Satellite 1110 model number PS111E-006R8-EN/S1110-Z15.
    But a few weeks ago, my DVD Rom drive no longer works, it would not run properly when a cd is inserted it kind of Jolt and then arrested and continues to do the same. Anyway to cut a long story short, I tried to rebuild the system by using a version of windows xp that has been successful, it is now, I found the original recovery disks, but without using the cd drive inward, I had recourse to an external cd drive freecom, I hold the c key at startup , but nothing happens, can anyone help emergency
    PS: I made the changes in the Bios to boot from the cd drive

    Hi nichollsr,

    in our society, we have 2 Satellite 1110-Z15, and there is a delicate hint for recovery.

    Toshiba has made a small mistake and printed the wrong order on the CD. You only need to change the order of the Recovery CD. No.. 1 is no. 2 and vice versa.

    Insert the diskette n ° 2, hold down the 'C' key and the recovery is expected to begin. If your laptop does not identify external drive-Freecom CD try to hold the 'U' key to boot from USB.

    I found a FAQ on the site of Toshiba UK

    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    You must click on Support / download, then to the knowledge base and search for a called FAQ

  • Satellite A200-1FL: problem installing Bluetooth on Windows 7

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 1FL (PSAE6E) with Windows Vista and I just installed Windows 7 32 bit (no update or upgrade).

    The problem is that when I try to install the bluetooth stack, it installs all ok, but the driver.
    I took the version 7.10.12 for Windows 7 32 bit from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download.

    The driver installation window presents itself and the progress bar does not move.
    I waited for a long time and nothing, no response, so I have to cancel.

    However, the software has been installed and when I try to start Bluetooth config or any other tool, the same phenomenon occurs: the driver installation window shows upward and nothing.

    Also, I tried to follow the installation instructions of command since the drivers toshiba download page guess what drivers are each options.

    Can someone knows why this phenomenon occurs?
    Am I missing something or is there a known issue with the Bluetooth in Windows 7 driver?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jorge

    Hello

    On my A500 during installation Bluetooth driver, he invites me to activate the Wlan switch. I don't know if A200 is equipped with WiFi switch. If this is the case, turn it on and try to install. I have more no other suggestion.

  • Satellite A200 - Chicony Webcam with Yahoo messenger

    I have a Toshiba A200-PSAE0E with Windows Vista Home Premium. My built-in Webcam (Chicony USB 2.0, 1.3MP camera) worked very well with all applications including Yahoo Messenger.

    My Webcam now works with Camera Assistant software, but not in Yahoo Messenger.

    > I have a Toshiba A200-PSAE0E with Windows Vista Home Premium. My built-in Webcam (Chicony USB 2.0, 1.3MP camera) worked very well with all applications including Yahoo Messenger.

    I think you don't need all the new drivers, because you already said the webcam worked fine using the original installed drivers.
    I don't know exactly why it is not possible to use it with Yahoo messenger after installation of Microsoft Office 2003, but I think that there are some confused system or drivers files.
    But to be honest, this seems very strange and I can't believe that the Office 2003 could have a bad influence on the webcam?  :|

    Eventually, you will need to reinstall the operating system or should try to restore the operating system to the previous system to check if it helps to solve this problem.
    That's all I can suggest.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-SP5820, and it's been almost two months that my microphone stopped working (external & the built). Today, I installed three different drivers (the one downloaded from softonic, one page Web from Toshiba and the other from Realtek)
    They still do not work.

    What can I do?
    Thank you.

    That really strange, you have this problem with the internal and external microphone.
    The configuration of the laptop is not known to me, but if you have tried the mixture of different drivers I don't think it is unique to the pre-installed driver.

    I think that best option for you will be clean OS installation but using the Toshiba recovery image you have with your laptop. Toshiba recovery image contains fine work and drivers tested so if the problem will still be there, it can be hardware only question about.

    Clean OS installation option is right for you?
