Satellite P500 - blue screen on webcam whenever I try to use Skype

Whenever I try to use Skype all I get is a blue screen where my webcam should be. I checked to see if my webcam doesn't work at all, and all I get is the web cam iniliziation failed Please check device and restart.

I tried this but nothing helped. I also tried to reinstall the camera and update the drivers. Still nothing.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I was told that if I update the BIOS it might be useful, but I also said that this could screw up the laptop completely...

In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost a year now. Since the first day I use it with Win7 preinstalled original and Skype.
Up to now, I have strength to have one problem with cam or Skype. Everything works fine.

Are you using the original pre-installed OS? Since when you noticed this problem?
You can use cam with other applications?
Cam is listed in Device Manager?

    However, to do this: go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and right CLICK on the logo that is being charged.

NOTE: If you do NOT have this choice, study the icons down quickly: on MY screen, the left-most is an icon that looks like a video monitor: click on it and give you the opportunity to "disable hardware acceleration".

    You can check if you have my documents in C:\Users\ (username) \My documents correct location.
    If the problem persists, you can deactivate and then activate Windows Fax and consolidated expansion of print and Document services from the windows on or off check and option features if this solves the problem.

    You will need to disable the function, and then click OK. Now open Windows Fax and Scanand check. Yet once activate the Windows Fax and Scan and check if you experience the same problem.

  • Satellite C850 - blue screen at startup

    Hello

    My elderly father has a Toshiba Satellite C850-1MC laptop - (Intel Pentium B960 2.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB, 15.6 "HD LED, DVDRW, Intel HD, Webcam, Bluetooth, Windows 8 64-bit).

    When he started the laptop the initial screen appears for a short time, then goes to a blue screen showing only the mouse pointer (no error code appears).

    If on the initial screen he quickly presses a button brings you to the screen of welcome for a very short period and then go to the bluescreen as above.

    Anyone got any ideas how to sort?
    Thanks in advance

    I don't know what the problem is and why this happens but if possible recovering your laptop and set it back to factory settings. Please test once more and send feedback.

    It can be assumed that the problem may be, but the best test you can do is to put the laptop to factory settings again. Recovery image has been tested and if there is not some hardware problem everything should work properly again.

  • Satellite L40 - blue screen after reboot

  • Satellite L850D blue screen towers using Corel Draw X 5 under Win 8

    As in the title, whenever I move an object (or click on the background) in CorelDraw X 5 running under widows 8, the screen goes blue when I release the object that it becomes normal.

    I also hooked up a different monitor and it is mirrored there.
    The laptop is brand new. I had a lot of trouble installing corel from the CD and had to copy the files on my HARD drive and install the program from there. I get a message of inconsistency when you start Corel.

    Although it seems to work OK except this blue screen problem. It is a transparent blue.
    It is not really possible to use the program in these conditions.
    What is a graphics driver issue. ?

    I have Corel working to High Performance on the switchable graphics card.

    > I am getting an incompatibility when Corel starting

    In my opinion, you are using a (Corel) application that is probably not completely compatible with Windows 8 System.

    I recommend you to check the page developer Corel for more information on the use of such software under the new system to win 8.

    The blue screen gives various complaints: once his RTL86.sys and then again, it's the Touch pad driver, but every mistake there is always the top message IRQL_Not_LESS_OR_EQUAL 'Something like that' what I can do.

    Well, what to say. It of very strange that the different drivers and system files cause this error message.

    Hello

    BSOD is always a painful question because it may be related to different reasons;
    It may be a hardware problem, but it can also be a serious software problem.
    So it's not easy to tell what exactly causes this

    I got a BSOD in the past, because my RAM was faulty.
    I have replaced and since it s ok.

    Friend of mine had a BSOD problem too. It was caused by the graphics driver.
    Updating the graphics card driver helped.

    The high temperature may be one more reason to check if the temperature is not too high.

    The new installation of the OS might be an option too, but it's your own decision
