Satellite A215-S7444 integrated webcam works only with MSN / Skype

Hi, I just bought my laptop computer and just after installing the new MSN and Skype, the video does not work with these programs. I tried to configure the video settings in MSN and he told me that "windows cannot connect to this webcam. It is currently in use or not plugged in." The webcam is integrated, a Chicony USB 2.0.

Any tips?

  • Integrated webcam works only with Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit XPS 15 L502x

    I have a Dell XPS 15 that I bought in June of 2012.  the machine came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit and I bought it shortly after the windows $ 15 8 upgrade promotion started.  I got my download of Windows 8 and visit the support site, I noticed that on the date on which Windows 8 was officially released Ell packed in liaison with the drivers for sound, video, chipset, networking devices and so forth but Windows 8 seems not to want to play nice with the built-in Webcam.  Try using the app Windows 8 camera, Skype or anything that has the ability to use the webcam product a "There is a problem with the camera" or preview of the webcam screen will remain black also.  Even if I know that Logitech and other vendors have webcams that are ready for Windows 8, but I don't want to spend money I don't have to.  I went on the site of Dell download software that allows you to download the software that came with your computer to the factory and when I try to download both versions of the Dell Webcam software or one will download despite it telling me that I have at least two download attempts that are available.  I'm starting to wonder if this model is no longer supported.

    Hi gbcmedia2012,

    Welcome to the community,

    After the upgrade to Windows 8 its recommended to uninstall and reinstall Dell Webcam Central Application.

    Check if Dell Webcam Central is still installed on your system (Control Panel, programs and features). If so, uninstall it, restart your system and then try to download and reinstall from my Dell Downloads (MDD)

    If you are not able to redownload it from MDD, try this link below to download and reinstall:

  • Webcam works only with Windows 7 after the computer has been cleaned.

    original title: Webcams

    I had to get my computer cleaned. After it was cleaned the windows installed person 7. I used Vista. I have a webcam built into my computer. I used to be able to use it to take photos and videos. Now, I can't. When I search for the webcam all I can find general information about it and its properties. Anyone know how I can get my webcam back up the way I used too?

    Hello

    Each manufacturer of system or camera maker provides their own software to control the camera so
    You should check with their support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
    with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

  • Satellite A200 - 28 p Bluetooth works only with ConfigFree

    Hello

    I had my Satelltie A200 - 28 p for a few weeks now to nine.
    Just tried to use Bluetooth and when trying to turn on the bluetooth with ConfigFree it says that the device would not pass and gives me 3 options which may be the cause of this.

    Anyone who has experienced similar problems or know how to fix this problem?
    I'll post the details of the error it gives.

    'The following may be responsible for the failure,

    Wireless LAN Utility is active (Please close the utility)
    Network Properties window is open (Please close the window)
    The Internet options window is open (Please close the options window)

    In cases where there is always a problem, please close all other applications and then run ConfigFree. »

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Hello

    I wonder why you try to use the BT with ConfigFree?
    What do you expect from ConfigFree software?

    The ConfigFree is a diagnostic tool can be used with WLan technology.
    It offers these features:

    -Cordless radar that displays nearby access points Wi - Fi active
    -doctor of connectivity that analyzes your network connection and help them solve the problem
    -profile settings that can be easily used to make network configuration

    As you can see that it can be used to display the available WLan and analyze some WLan issues.

    If you want to use BT I advise to use the BT's own software and settings!

  • Re: Satellite A215-S7444 just stops after an hour of use

    I have a satellite A215-S7444.
    My problem is that if I'm on the computer after about an hour or two the computer just stops.
    I already tried to change the power settings management that worked for awhile, but my laptop still turns off after a while.

    Hi Patrick

    I'm quite sure that your laptop stops automatically due to the temperature inside the laptop.
    It of a simply overheating issue that could be caused by clogged cooling grids.

    From time to time it s a good idea to clean the fans. Especially dust prevents the cooling modules works correctly, and therefore the temperature rises.

    I made good experiences with the jet of compressed air. These sprays can be purchased from dealers of computer/laptop.
    In addition you could try to google for some online also offers.

    Do you have also installed all the drivers for your laptop from the Web from Toshiba site? Make sure that there is no yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.
