  Since when did you notice this behavior and what operating system is installed?

  Before install or reinstall a driver, I recommend you to remove the old driver first. Then, restart your computer and run CCleaner to remove old registry keys. A reboot, and you can install latest driver of the webcam of Toshiba page.

• Can satellite L450-136 - I install Windows XP?

  I just got a Satellite L450-136 with Windows 7 and all loaded Toshiba Utillities. I don't like Windows 7 and many prefer Windows XP.
  Can I remove all Windows 7 and install Windows XP on this laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hey,.

  > Can I delete all Windows 7 and install Windows XP on this laptop?
  Of course, you can install all the BONES you want :)

  But don t forget to create the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual. If you want Windows 7 returns with all the drivers and tools you can restore from recovery disc because it contains a picture of the factory settings.

  Did you check if you can get all the drivers for your model and XP?

• Boot with Win7 32 bit and Satellite L450-36 problems

  A friend has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L450-36 Windows 7 32-bit which he thinks has been hit by a Virus. He went to use the laptop a few weeks 3 + ago and concluded that it would not initialize. Now, he has 3 daughters who, before this problem, much used YouTube and say that they were able to see updates Adobe Flash Player appear on the screen at regular intervals, but they have deleted the. When he came to talk about the problem for me, I offered to watch the machine that I have some disks that can cure or at least let me save records Paragon Rescue Kit, Avira Anti Virus Rescue Disk, AVG Rescue Disk & others.

  When I turn on the machine I get a screen with boot Toshiba Leading Innovation one
  Press [F2] for INSTALLATION, press [F12] to the lower boot device selection menu. I leave the machine in operation and a window pops up let me the choice of {HD1}, , , but nothing happens when I select one, then I stop the machine and start again, this time by pressing F2 which takes me into the BIOS. I put in a cd, Paragon Rescue Kit 11, arrived on the BIOS and the CD starts. I did the same thing with the Avira Anti Virus system and it found 4 infections. He then lets me copy all my friend (s) files on an external hard drive, which allows me to complete objectives.

  I started the Recovery CD/DVD Toshiba product and I get a Windows loading files message followed by a bar of Microsoft Corporation loading under him and then there is a black screen with a cursor on it. I did the same thing with a system Windows 7 32-bit repair disc and get the same result black screen empty.

  I am retired and to my knowledge has been gained since the Commodore 64 days, then Amiga and PC now, but it isn't enough for me to fix this problem. I found very frustrating to be able to use a Linux program and see all the programs on the PC, but not actually being able to restart it, and start them! I could probably Boot & Nuke the hard drive, but my friend wasn't t provided with a disc of Windows 7 o/s system couldn t so re-installed without buying again.

  I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get rid of the HD1/FLOPPY/NEXT HD window and a solution for the portable computer so that it starts properly. I took pictures of different screens on the laptop that I could pass if they would help.

  In my opinion, you should remove the HARD drive and connect it to another computer and perform low level set in shape and just delete everything. You can use a tool like this and after doing this put back and try to install the original recovery image using the recovery disk.

  In the past I ve never had these problems, but I think it's the best way to remove all the viruses or malicious applications.
  Test it and thanks for posting comments.

• Satellite C660 - Webcam and the microphone does not

  I had my laptop for less than a year. I've always been able to use Skype without any problems, but my built-in webcam and microphone are no longer works.

  I installed the latest driver for the webcam of the support, but the webcam still doesn't work and I installed the latest audio driver and my microphone still does not work too.

  Please, please, please can someone help?

  Hello

  And why not webcam and the microphone not work? How have you noticed this?
  I mean is webcam picture only in black or what is exactly happening? Also, what is with the microphone?

  The microphone is a part of webcam if it s enough if you reinstall the driver for the webcam. Latest version can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba. If the driver is installed, make sure that the webcam is set as default input device. You can do this in the audio settings of Windows.

  The webcam doesn't appear in Device Manager, and it works if you start the webcam software rather Skype?

• Satellite L450-188 - how to disable ACPI.sys and update the BIOS?

  Hi, hoping someone can help me with a slight problem, I'll have

  I recently bought a Satellite L450-188 (number PSLY0E-03K019EN) running under Windows 7 64-bit

  I use the laptop with a DJ program called Rane Serato Scratch Live, I got latency usb problems, getting usb dropouts when I try to use the program on the smallest audio buffer position (which I expect to be able to do)

  When I contacted support at Serato team with my problem, they suggested that I run a program to check the time DPC on my laptop, when I presented the report to them, they said ACPI.sys was the origin of the problem and suggested that interest me to turn it off, but I wasn't too comfortable with that.

  The other suggestion was to try to find updates the bios for my laptop, but I'm not too set up with that sort of thing, and I'm worried I might damage the laptop maybe installing the wrong thing.

  Can someone give me advice on this topic, because I don't know what to do

  Thank you
  Jim

  Hi jimbob_1,

  Normally the ACPI means Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and control options for energy savings.
  So if something is wrong with the ACPI.sys file I recommend reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disc.
  By the way: are you running pre-installed Windows version or another?

  As Akuma writes that you can download the BIOS update from Toshiba Web site. http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

  Your laptop belongs to the series of PSLY0E, so you can download latest BIOS.

  Before you begin the BIOS update, close all running programs and extract all the files from zip archive. You start the update as an administrator and connect the AC adapter. Also, make sure that the battery is fully charged.

• 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 L450-171 - Dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP

  Hi all
  I bought a Satellite L450-171 with pre-installation of Windows 7. For reasons of compatibility, I installed Windows xp on an another computer partitition.

  But in the marketing, I don't see the two operating systems. I don't see Windows xp.

  Please how can I do to be able to also run Windows 7?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi josedunet_1,

  Normally the start menu where you can change between the two BONES will be created if you install XP first and than Windows 7.

  Now in your case, you need to change the boot sector. Therefore, you can use a tool with GUI like EasyBCD. You can manage it in just a few clicks.
  Check it! ;)

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm not quite sure that what is happening with the webcam, but more often the webcam can be started using the software of the webcam installed m.

  In msconfig-> Startup tab, you can disable the webcam software to prevent automatic loading, while the laptop starts the software.

  Then you could start again the software and the webcam.
  You will see the little icon in the taskbar (lower right corner).
  Click on-> see the toolbar
  Then a webcam toolbar should appear where you could choose webcam only option.

  PS: If something went wrong with the installation of the webcam software, then uninstall the software and try again

• Satellite L450 - 173 BIOS cannot detect the HARD whil eLinux disc that ubunto can

  I have a Satellite L450 173.
  The system will display a failure while trying to detect the hard drive then cannot boot from the hard drive.

  However, it can boot from the CD and install ubunto 11.04 (with barrier).
  However, after the success in the installation process, the system cannot start...
  Is this a Bios problem that require an update?

  Hello

  * Question: *.
  Either classified and recognized in the BIOS HARD drive?
  On the first page of the BIOS disk HARD should be listed with details such as the name and the size of the HARD drive.

  If his list, then you must run a HARD drive test. You could test the HARD drive by using a freeware tool called Drive Fitness Test.
  This tool is free and can be downloaded from different pages
  To do this, and if there is error, it means that your HARD drive is malfunctioning.

• Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

  Hi all

  the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

  I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

  Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

  I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

  Best regards Florian

  > a USB not detected if

  Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

  It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
  Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
  Versions are newer

  Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
  In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

• Satellite A660 - webcam only shows a black image

  Hey,.

  I have a satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R running 64-bit windows 7.
  No reason the webcam just stopped working. Whenever I y access either by the program of toshiba or others (such as Skype), I am facing a black image despite the blue camera power light is always on. The wecam application works fine and everything, it'll even take photos and videos even if he won't save them because it captures anything.

  I checked in the Manager of tasks, and despite me running on windows 7 64-bit, the program is displayed as ' TWebCamera.exe * 32 "leads me to believe that he is trying to run 32-bit...
  I reinstalled the driver for the webcam 64-bit of the toshiba site _3 times_ yet I still have the same problem (Yes, I mean 3).

  It's really frustrating me and any help would be appreciated!
  Thanks, Luke.

  Hello

  This s really strange behavior, mate

  But I can only imagine this problem is driver-related and not a hardware problem then try this:
  Remove the webcam driver and restart your computer, run CCleaner (freeware tool) to clean and fix registry problems and reboot once again. Then visit the official page of Toshiba and and download the new driver of the webcam for your model and the OS.

  Normally after the next reboot the webcam should start working with success.
  Can you confirm this? :)

• Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

  I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

  I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

  The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

  However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

  One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

  Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

  I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

  When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?
