• 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 C660-26R - problems with the laptop performance

  Hello

  I bought a C660-26R for Christmas, and since I had some real problems, watch YouTube videos and download things such as itunes or soundcloud. I have a good connection speed but I can't watch a video over a few seconds and let the kids play games on miniclip for example will not work.

  I downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player, windows updates are up to date and my internet security is very good. But I don't know why, I've met so many problems. It takes forever to pay for purchases online as well.

  If anyone can give me any advice or solutions, it would be a real and simple, help the best.
  all the best

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say what the problem is here and give some concrete tips what you can do about it.
  I would like to have your laptop in front of me, to see what is happening exactly and how your laptop reacts with different commands. In my opinion, it is just a means to understand all your problems.

  Please don t get me wrong, but I would highly recommend you to find someone who has a very good PC know-how and ask for help.

• Satellite P300D-14F - problem with USB

  Hello

  I want to make a USB to boot, but the laptop does not recognize (I mean in the bios)

  For example, when I connect the external hard drive (1 TB, Hitachi HDT721010SLA360) I can see it in the Start Menu (http://s017.radikal.ru/i432/1202/20/b7b7edd221f9.jpg)

  Hello

  To my knowledge, it there has not of special requirements to the USB flash key, a common USB should be recognized correctly as boot device.

  Of course, it might be possible that there is a problem with your USB key
  On the other hand, it might be possible that your USB drive is not formatted correctly.

  I think you need to format the Flash DRIVE to FAT32 standard and need to make it bootable.
  If this does not help, try another USB flash memory.

  Good luck

• Satellite L670-1HD - problem with audio interfaces USB 1.1

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba L670-1HD with an Intel HM55 chipset, and an Intel Core i5 460M processor. I use this machine for my music software and that's why I use different audio interfaces external and USB-MIDI-Controller with build in audio interface like Mixvibes U - Mix Control Pro (http://www.mixvibes.com/content/u-mix-control-pro). These built-in audio interface are connected via USB 1.1. Always when I use this audio interfaces interfaces crash audio internalt - the sound is cracked very hard and there are noises in. The controller of all crashes sometimes too.
  When I use another interface audio as an audio interface Hercules DJ Trim 4 & 6 (http://www.hercules.com/uk/DJ-Music/bdd/p/102/deejay-trim-4-6/), which is a USB 2.0, everything works fine. No crashes, no cracks and no noise.
  You could say now that there is no problem and I should stick to the Hercules interface if it does no problem. The problem is that the Hercules is an audio interface only, there is no controller in it with which I can control my music software.

  I've updated all the drivers from the support page of this site without success. Is there a solution available or the Toshiba knows this subject? Am I the only one having this problem?

  Would be nice if a Toshiba official support employer could respond to this message. But this does not mean that I don't want to read somethng submitted by the user for which an index - all Board/Council/recommendation is welcome.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  See you soon,.

  Hello Stefan

  In my view, you see the problem from the wrong point of view.
  Toshiba and each laptop manufacturer offer product and hardware and software support. So if there is a general problem with the functionality of the material you are by Toshiba on the right address.

  You use a third party and that you have some problems. Do you really believe Toshiba should support you and help to get this external peripheral work? In my opinion not. On the market, there are thousands of different devices and laptop computer how of the manufacturer must be able to test each of them and offer a solution?
  Something like that is definitely not possible.

  In my opinion, you should communicate with Mixvibes and ask for help. They have the best experience with own product and I presume that they are testing the features on different PC/laptop platforms.
  They should know how the device should work on new laptops with USB 2.0.

  It seems silly now, but Toshiba has nothing to do with it. If you have a general problem with the USB ports and they don t work with different devices that Toshiba should ask for help.

     If this issue occurs after adding a USB hub or other USB device, consider removing to see if the problem goes away. If this resolves the problem, contact the manufacturer of the device for the updates or other recommendations.

  2. Do not disconnect USB devices while the computer is to stop or go to sleep

  This problem is known to occur when USB devices are disconnected when the computer is trying to stop or switch mode to 'sleep'. This is common with cell phones, especially those with a docking station, as docking station can act as a USB hub. The frequency of this problem could be reduced by allowing your computer to completely close or completely in sleep mode before detached from its docking station or unplug it or the docking station USB devices.

  If you know which USB device is causing the problem

  It may be possible to prevent the Blue error screen by choosing the option remove the device safely in the Notification area, before putting your computer into sleep or Hibernate mode.

  1. In the system tray, click the icon to remove the device , select the USB device that you think that the origin of the problem and then click OK.

  2. Do not physically remove the USB device.

  3. Perform the action which resulted in the Blue error screen, so that was taken the functioning of your computer after the mode standby, hibernation, or, in the case of laptops, close the laptop computer or place it in a docking station.

     1. If the Blue error screen persists, it is likely that the problem is with another USB device. Try this procedure using other USB devices until you find that at the origin of the problem.

• If the Blue error screen disappeared, you have probably identified the device causing the problem. Contact the manufacturer of the device for more information on how to solve this problem, or use the option to remove the device safely to work around him.

Note
Depending on the manufacturer and model, some USB devices will become available automatically when you resume using your computer. Others will require that first disconnect you physically and then plug back in front, they will be recognized by the computer. Check the system tray to see if the USB device that you removed safely become available when you started to use your computer again. If she did not become available automatically, then physically unplug it and then plug it in again.
