Satellite A210 - webcam built-in Chicony 2.0 does not work with MSN

I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 or also known as the A215 to the United States. I have a webcam Chicony built in 2.0, but more often that otherwise, it will not work. When I'm on MSN, it will come back with the message saying that it is not connected or installed. He decides to work sometimes but most of the time this isn't.

Even on portable real without using MSN, using Camera Assistant Software, the icon is always in the lower corner on the right, but when I right click on it and choose "Show Toolbar", I then click on "Start Camera" again, he will come even to the top. Or when it does, blue light comes on, then leave and then say "failure of the graphics rendering. And then I won't be able to use it on MSN. Even if I restart or shut down and run it then even once, it still not work.

I went into control panel: System: Device Manager: Chicony USB 2.0 Camera and then I have a right and updated click Update driver software, however on my laptop, I already have the best driver software.

I want to be able to use my webcam always whenever I start my laptop. Thank you.

When you start your laptop Camera Assistant software stop and try to configure the webcam in MSN. I deleted the Camera Assistant software from the boot list and I don't use any but I can use it with Skype whenever I want.

It also works with MSN. Just start the Audio and video installation and in step 3, select Chicony USB 2.0 Camera Cam that you want to use. It works with my MSN.

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • Satellite U400: webcam does not work with MSN - it is used by another prog

    My chicony webcam will not work on windows live messenger I want to use it for video chat.

    An error message appears saying 'we couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. "The camera is not currently in use, as far as I know I have closed camera assistant software and you have disabled the camera at startup.

    Please help with this problem!

    Also, I tried using a different logitech webcam, but the computer doesn't seem to recognize it even though I installed the software.

    Any advice?

    I U400 and I use the webcam in the Skype!
    Everything works perfectly.

    If you closed the camera assistant software then the webcam would not work without problems.
    Have you tried to start the webcam software, then MSN?
    Select this check box.

    I also disabled the webcam software in the msconfig-> Startup tab
    This prevents the webcam software to start during windows startup

    In the worst cases, you must remove the software from the webcam of the system and after restarting again, you must reinstall the software again
    Generally, this allows in most cases

    PS: Your operating system should be always up to date!

  • Satellite A300-V01 - webcam does not work with msn

    Hi all

    I was wondering if there was someone out there who could help me...

    I recently bought an A300/V01 and try to use the web camm for it, but whenever I open it on his own (not with msn or any other program), it freezes and will not work, and when I try to send my web cam on msn it tells me that there is no connected webcam.
    I'm pretty computer illiterate so iv tried to fix it myself but sadly failed.

    so, if there is someone out there who knows how to fix it would be great if you could help...

    Thanks xoxo

    Go to the Toshiba website and to update the camera/Webcam driver.

    Also try closing/leave the camera software help.

    You should also install Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), if it is not installed.

    And to ensure that upgrade to the latest version of MSN Messenger.

    Hello

    I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

    I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
    Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

    Graphics card cannot be updated as on desktop computers. I put t know how it is on this model laptop but the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

    Hello

    > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

    This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
    You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

    If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.

    Hello
    If Facebook does not recognize your webcam right away when you want to share a video, click on the eye for cameras new button.

    Your Adobe Flash Player settings will be displayed.
    On the tab, make sure you only select the right type of camera you use with your computer.

    On the tab, you may also need to 'allow' Facebook to access your camera and microphone.

    If your settings does not work, try to uninstall Adobe Flash Player on your computer and download the latest Flash Player.
