  I have a Satellite L305-S5945 and the webcam worked perfectly out of the box, and after that I have re-installed Vista-64 (which he came with) after that I installed a bad program and had a blue screen.

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now the webcam is not working and I get the error "Webcam driver open fail." Please restart camera or computer. "I tried to find a Windows 7 driver on the support page, but I couldn't find one so I just used both Vista/XP those instead. One is the driver and another the Camera Assistant Software. Here's what I've tried so far:

  * Attempt #1 * freshly installed Windows 7. Without having to install anything else, I download the two aforementioned drivers and then install both and restart the computer. Meet up with working Camera Assistant Software but when you start webcam I get error "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer. »

  Try to #2 * after 1 attempt, go to Device Manager and uninstall Chicony USB Camera 2.0 under imaging devices. Restart the computer and let it sit. Finally Windows takes the camera and auto installs and it reappears in the Device Manager. Still get the same errors.

  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

  I have searched and looked for solutions to this problem and feel like I've tried everything. Whenever I turn on my laptop or try to start my webcam I get the error "Webcam driver open fail." Please restart camera or computer. »

  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.

• Re: Satellite A300 (PSAJ4E) - Webcam driver open fail

  I had to replace the hard drive on my PSAJ4E of the A300 and when I reloaded Vista 32 and install all drivers hardware Toshiba everything went well except for a Chicony webcam.

  The side menu is there but it won't work, giving a "driver webcam open fail." "Please restart camera or computer" error.

  I updated the Bios to 4.20
  I first used the original Toshiba, the 20080428125023 webcam driver download (V1.07.175).
  I tried with 'closed the cover 3/4 '.
  I have searched and read dozens of similar problems. I've tried a few, even edit the ini setting. Nothing helps.
  I even tried drivers XP (V1.7.144.0611), 32-bit and 64-bit versions and even a driver from the gateway. Nothing seems to work for this cam.

  What now?

  I also now get "the requested section is not found in the INF file" when I try to uninstall and reinstall the driver through Device Manager.
  I have the choice of
  6.198.1.0
  6.2.208.424
  6.2.238.1217
  all give the same error...

  I rebooted, uninstalled and went back to install and does not work!

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is a typical software problem
  I read a lot of discussion on this error message and in most cases, new installation/update driver does the job!

  Please ensure that you use the latest version of the BIOS.
  Go to the Device Manager, then go to imaging devices.
  You can find the USB video device it's plays.

  This remove from the Device Manager list. Alternatively, you can uninstall the driver
  Restart the device, and then try to install the driver again

  Please make sure you use the latest webcam software... you can choose the published software for Satellite L500 too!

  HELP, please)

  Hello

  I see that you have installed Microsoft messenger and ICQ on your system.
  Try disabling these two applications before you start the webcam.

  If it does not help to remove the installed webcam software, restart the computer and reinstall it again.
  But let the two applications (MS messenger, ISQ) disabled during the installation of the webcam driver.

  By the way; Keep you Win XP OS always up-to-date! Sometimes the MS patches or fixes are needed to run these free peripheral trouble,
