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.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - webcam does not work, but the LED lights

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Satellite A300-1NO, with Win 7 installed. My problem is that my webcam does not work always, when I want to use it. Sometimes, it works perfectly in Skype, WLM etc... but sometimes I see a white or a black screen with a 'loading circle' in there. Blue is the LED light, I can see it in Device Manager too, but there is no picture, just 'loading '. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it, I installed the new "camera Assistant for Toshiba", without success.

    Is there any solution for this?

    > Is there any solution for this?
    I put t think there is solution for this. If I understand you right there is a problem with software pre-installed. It is not easy to say why this is happening.

    I have Satellite A300 too and use it with Win7 32 bit. Webcam works fine all the time.

    One more thing: have you noticed this problem in the first moments after installing Win7 or later?
    Have you installed something that may be the reason for this?

    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.

    And if I plug a memory in bank1 2 GB module (bank0 is empty) - it's doesn't work too!

    He arrived with 3 laptops. (Sorry, my English is not good :))

    Have you thought about a fact that the phone doesn't support 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM?
    Isn't it?
    Maybe you should check the manual of the first user that is preinstalled on your laptop.

    I think you would find information very important.

    Equipped laptops Intel Mobile GL960 chipset is supported by the maximum memory capacity of 2 GB.
    As I m not wrong not your laptop was equipped with chipset Intel Mobile GL960 the case must therefore be clear now. or not?

    Also is important to know that you will need to use always first bank/slot memory (bank0) If you use a DEAD memory module!

  • 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.

  • On Satellite A300-1MX webcam does not work properly

    After my windows Vista system crashed 16 December 2011, I had made recovery.
    After that, I have not found any driver for the webcam on the computer laptop everything. On the Toshiba support page, I finally found the 1.7 version, but this does not at all!

    He always appears: driver Webcam open fails, restart the computer or the camera. Since it's built in camera I tried with the restart of the computer, but which did not help at all. So I tried with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without success.

    So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help at all!

    Someone has an idea?

    Hello

    Found an article in the knowledge base of Toshiba which describes this error and provides a solution to this problem.
    + Why displays the error message: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. » ? +
    + http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+

    But its related to Portege M600 and Satellite U300 only.
    However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that, set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the software of webcam once more.

    You should also check the Device Manager. Here in Device Manager that the webcam should be recognized as a USB device, if this isn't the case, then it means that the webcam was not recognized by the OS and that means there could be a hardware problem

    As far as I know, the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lost, then the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager; or as a USB device or an unknown device.
