Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera
Hello
I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.
Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?
The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.
Thank you
Hello
The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device
The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.
In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.
In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.
I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!
Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.
Best regards

Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail on Windows XP
I know this is a common problem, I've been on this forum for days and found no solution. I have a satellite L300 PSLB8E, I lowered from VISTA to windows XP. I downloaded the drivers from your Web site, camera Assistant, but he says failure of webcam driver restart the computer or camera. That never solved the problem. Are there 2 different drivers, given that your site has only one, IE one for the camera and the other for the software? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the driver control panel, reinstalled, nothing works.
Someone please end my misery by giving a clear answer to this question and many others.
Thank you

Satellite A200 - driver Open Webcam fail
Hello
My Satellite A200 recently dead boot disc and I had it replaced. Vista was placed in this framework through restoration SOE from Toshiba. Now the Webcam is not working, it gives the following error when starting the machine:
"Driver Webcam Fail open. Please restart camera or computer. »
I tried to install the latest updates of the Chicony driver but still no luck
also, I found a lot of information through google about problems of registry entry with the installer on this issue. They recommend a rather complicated registry hack to fix it. I want to find an installer that works rather than hack the registry
can someone advise me? Thanks in advance
Hello
Well, if you have already updated the driver for the webcam, I would recommend updated the BIOS too. The latest version is available for download on the Toshiba site. Before you download, compare the model number, if the update supports your laptop!
If it doesn t work I think there seems to be a hardware malfunction, maybe the webcam cable must be renewed or something else. I think that the best option would be to contact a technician laptop for diagnosis.

Satellite A300 - driver Open Webcam fail
Hello
I'm Dr. Ahmed Maher, and I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop. This is the Satellite A300
The problem is in my webcam. When I try to use the webcam, a message of "driver webcam open fail.please restart the computer or the cam.
I downloaded the driver from the toshiba site. I reinstalled the driver but the same message appeared. I had updated the BIOS. The same problem. I did a cover for my laptop using the recovery DVD. Not at all, the same problemPlease help me solve this problem
Thank you for the care
Dr. AhmedHi Dr. Ahmed,
If your webcam doesn't work after installing Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think that it s related to the defective material. I mean you have ever tried to update the BIOS and the driver of the webcam but that s all you can do.
So I would recommend contacting your local authorized service provider people. I think they can help you can exchange the webcam if it of necessary.

There are several threads about this on this forum and other boards of Directors through Google, not only related to this model, well than many other Toshibas. Is there a fix of Toshiba? As the problem seems so widespread there should be.
I use XP Pro. I've updated the BIOS and the software of the webcam without solving the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Defender of the window does not open unless I restart my computer and try again
original title: Windows Defender
Defender of the window does not open unless I restart my computer and try again. Then it will be open for a few minutes, but then I get the error message: 0x800710dd and it closes. I don't use McAfee antivirus and spyware. I use Microsoft Security Essentials.

Windows Security Essentials (MSE) is supposed to close Windows defender.
WSE has his own Defender. To have 2 defenders running will create conflicts.
What happening IS normal. You have no problem.For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

Satellite L300-1FS - Wireless reconnect after closing the lid
Hello
My 2 month old son Toshiba laptop works very well in many ways, but an annoying problem, is that if we close the lid when you open it again it doesn't re connect to our router. If I click on the network connection, it just says: there is no everything!
Sometimes the switching market re wireless switch will connect there, but more often than not, it's a reboot, which is annoying.
Proves that the wireless card works but it would be nice to not have him harass me every time it does not connect.
All ideas welcome.
Hello
First a question: what exactly happens if you close the lid?
This laptop stops, or goes to stand-by or extended sleep?However, in your case, I would try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. Check the Toshiba website for updates:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download driversIt would be interesting to know what operating system you have and if you are running the factory settings or you have installed another OS?
A friend told Satellite L300 and he is very satisfied and can t notice any problem. :)

Hello
Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating systemMaybe it would work
