Satellite C855-1TV - Webcam on Windows 8

Hi, I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 1TV. It's my first (also first Toshiba product ever) and I am very happy with it. However, I have trouble with the webcam. I have Windows 8 and I'm just learning how to use (used to have XP so now things are very different for me).

Windows 8 integrates the camera app (which as most of its applications, which I don't like) and the cam works fine when I use the app, but there must be another way to do the webcam and I can't understand it.

Go to start > Search: "assistant camera" produces no results.
The "Camera" search finds only the Windows application.

Need help, please :(

>... but there must be another way to do the webcam and I can't understand it.
What do you mean exactly? Webcam can be used with different applications like Skype or camera application preinstalled.

I put t understand what do you mean exactly with another way.

  • Satellite C855 - several Partitions running Windows 8.1

    Hi all

    I know the laptop has begun with the W8 and with 3 partitions (recovery, system & main C drive) and all were in good condition.

    When I upgraded to W8.1 quite some time he created another recovery partition which in essence is very good but I had some problems with my laptop and recovery options Toshiba to 'Refresh' of my laptop and doing so created another partition but this time, it's 8GB!

    Now, the update did not help so now, I finished a full 'Reset' of the computer laptop back to factory settings and waiting for the 2 additional partitions should be deleted as I well than that "Reset" option re-formatted the hard drive and but this return to a State of Out-of-the-Box.

    Can I remove the 2 additional partitions? or should I chose a better option to wipe the laptop new?

    Thanks - Jason

    Can I remove the 2 additional partitions? or should I chose a better option to wipe the laptop new?

    Question: did you create the recovery media (disk or USB flash stick) Toshiba in the past?
    Before you try to remove all partitions on the HARD drive, I highly recommend creating recovery discs!

    After that, you can try to delete these partitions or will it mark the laptop back to factory settings!

    I have the toshiba satellite-c855 - 17 c. Windows 7.
    Usually, I work on my laptop and monitor, which I use by plugging the vga cable. I use this set to the top for more than a year and never had any problems.

    Now, nothing happens when I plug in the cable. I checked with another laptop and the screen appears on the monitor - it seems that the problem is with my laptop.

    Do you have any idea why this has happened and the solution to this problem?

    Thank you

  • New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

    Hello

    I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

    I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

    Thank you very much.

    Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

    Just, without panic. ;)

    Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
    If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.

  • Lost the disk for recovery of Windows 8 for Satellite C855 1v9

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop (toshiba satellite) 8 original windows pre-installed,
    However, I wanted to repartition my hard drive and without warning I deleted the recovery partition, therefore, the laptop could no longer starts.

    So I asked a professional if he could get my laptop to its original factory condition as it was when I bought it (with 8 pre-installed... original windows) in order to sell it later and he told me that it is impossible since I do not have the recovery disk, and the only way to make it work is by installing windows 7.

    I have lack of knowledge in it staff that's why, I haven't had not to make a copy of a recovery disk.

    Now, as I intend to sell my laptop, I was wondering if there is a possible way to sell me the recovery disk that allow me to back up my laptop to its factory condition (with original windows 8 pre-installed and pre-loaded software of course), and the estimated total costs that I pay.
    PS:

    * My laptop information:

    • * SATELLITE C855-1V9
    • * CORE I5 - 3210M
    • * 2048 MB 1600 MHZ
    • * 500G HDD (5400 RPM) SATA

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - Webcam does not work in Windows live messenger

    Recently bought a Satellite Pro A300, with integrated webcam. However, when I try to use the webcam in Windows live messenger it comes up with the following error messages.

    * "We couldn't start your camera. Please check that your camera is not currently being used by another program, and then try again. » *

    Also this message...

    * "Messenger is not available right now. Please try again later. (0x82000009). "

    Now, the camera is not enabled, and Messenger works normally.

    * HELP! *

    Thank you

    Folic

    When you get the message if another program uses always the camera.

    So, try to disable the webcam software and other e-mail programs in msconfig.
    Restart the laptop and if you want to use the webcam software you need to start the first webcam software.
