  * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
  * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
  * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
  * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
  * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
  * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

  If this does not work, the best option would be to backup your data and run recovery. If it still does not work, then the webcam itself may be faulty.

  > Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
  Of course!

  You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
  You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> software

  After that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
  Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.

  See you soon

  I used to be able to use the webcam with no problems, but it just stopped one day of work. I recently reformatted my drive to operate the State out-of-the-box, but it always shows an error whenever I try to use my webcam. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an A300 model: PSA - GCA.

  Camera is off and I can't turn it on, by restarting the computer gives no effect.

  Hello

  I see you are using Vista
  Well, first you must make sure that Vista is up-to-date!
  You used the recovery and that means that Vista needs to be updated to the latest state!
  All the service packs and other patches must be installed.

  Then remove the software of the webcam of the system, clean the base registry (CCleaner, etc.) and after reboot again trying to reinstall the webcam software
