Satellite Pro A300-1E7 - cannot start the cam software

I bought the Satellite Pro A300-1E7.
Webcam does not work in MSN messenger video call.
Will have problems similar to the previous posting, except that I use Zonealarm.

I think that Zonealarm has disputed cec_main.exe in a similar way.
I tried to follow the instructions here, but without much success.
I removed the Camera Assistant SOftware and re-installed the driver but does not seem to have improved things.
Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.

Any ideas please?

Hello

I used the Zonealarm happened and I was not really satisfied, because this software locked everything and most of the applications didn't work properly even after the new configuration! Finally, I removed this software and I noticed more advantage. my laptop starts much faster!
I think this software would lock the cam software too.

> Now c:\program files\ software of camera for Toshiba assistant has completely disappeared and the Panel camera assistant no longer appears on the side of the desktop.
This means that the software has been removed and is not installed correctly.
But to be sure, check in Control Panel-> Software (Add & Remove Programs) if the webcam is installed.

I have the internal cam of Chicony too and it s works well as part of the software Skype. I didn't test t MSN but I don t see serious reasons why it shouldn't t work.

In my view, you must first remove the zonealarm. Then clean the OS using CCleaner. Finally, redownload the webcam software and reinstall it!

The toolbar of the webcam is not always visible on the desktop.
It seems that if you move it the mouse cursor to the place where the webcam tool bar was hidden.

  • Satellite A200 - once installation of Karspersky cannot start the CAM software

    Guys I need help...

    I have download the Karspersky antivirus 2009 and I install on my Toshiba Satellite A200-gs1 psaece
    He acknowledged the cec_main.exe as virus and block...
    I put it in the exclusion list, it does not continue the works, and when I started my laptop it said «cannot run cec_main.exe...» ».

    I remove the program and install it again I ve put again to the exclusion list.
    Now it's the turn of say on your camera when I m running my cam program.
    I put t know what I should do...

    Here is the cure:
    Probably a good idea to go to Toshiba and download the latest version of the software for the camera to your computer. Do not open this software. Go to the control panel and remove the existing camera Assistant software. Open the Kaspersky software and click settings then click threats and exclusions under the Options tab. Click on the zone of confidence. Click on approved Applications. If CEC_MAIN.exe exists, delete it. Restart the computer.
    May be a good idea to delete your internet cable because we do a right-click on the Kaspersky shortcut and click PROTECTION of PAUSE. This is a must! Probably best to set for a 10 minute break. Close this menu and then open Kaspersky. Go to settings > threats and Exclusions > Trusted Zones > objects > Add + > and type in manually or copy and paste the following text exactly as shown below:

    C:\Program Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\CEC_MAIN.exe

    exclusionary rules, to allow CEC_Main.exe to be a trusted application. Then reinstall the software assistant camera. Kaspersky should always be in pause mode, but will let you know maybe CEC_MAIN.exe to contain a virus.
    Ignore, but look for the option on this same screen that will allow you to add this as a trusted application. It's the key to this... Kaspersky should be paused during the reinstallation of the software. Once you tell Kaspersky to add this as a trusted application, your installation should be completed. REBOOT and the problem is over.

  • Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

    Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

    In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
    Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

    What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

    When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

    When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
    The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
    Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
    I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

    OH DEAR what a big mistake.

    Now the netbook won't start windows.
    So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
    Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

    Hello

    I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
    It's because of the SATA controller.
    You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

    So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

    -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
    Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

    AHOY!

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

    It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

    However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

    * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

    I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

    + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

    And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

    (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

    I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
    A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

    With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
    If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
    On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

    Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
    > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
    I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.

  • Satellite Pro A300-257 while flashing the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a dilemma. I recently installed windows 7 on my laptop of girlfriends who is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-257, everything went well until I tried to update the Bios. I followed all instructions on the toshiba site had to put the model number in to get good bios double checked and triple checked before running the program, but when I ran the system crashed to halfway through the closed system update and now it wont even boot lights are on cd player is ROAR a few stays on black screen.

    I read many forums and it seems im not the only one with this problem.
    I just got the phone to toshiba and they say im not covered because I does not you can call and go through it with them on the phone, even if at no time did he tell me to do that I followed the instructions of there Web site.
    I also confirmed with them that I used the correct bios but they say that they are unable to prove that and I can put in the wrong information that I did not.

    In my view, there is a program that will allow me to boot from the cd so I don't have to go out and buy a reader external floppy to Flash the bios, I think that his winflash. Unfortunately, all I can find is the executable program on there website which im guessing will not start work.
    Anyone know where I can find the prog to update the bios and the bios file so I can create a cd bootable to Flash the bios.

    Any help will be appreciated with gratitude

    Thank you very much

    Hi mate

    I m afraid there is no alternative to reflash the BIOS to the traditional version of BIOS who can start the BIOS updated using an external USB drive and the floppy disk.

    The European driver Toshiba page contains only the BIOS Win-based that can be updated when the windows operating system. The traditional BIOS is not available for download. Only authorized service partners have access to this version of BIOS and that's why I don t see any alternative as to get in touch with the guys and to ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to install the webcam?

    I got my laptop via my uni so did amyn backup discs (especially not the webcam).

    Basically my laptop is a Trojan virus on my webcam, set it and I restarted my computer. It is then flashed up on reboot that I need to install my webcam but I don't have the disk and now I can't use my webcam! What should I do?

    PS I'm not a genius with computers so please be easy on me with the language.

    Hi mate,

    If you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam you can download on the Toshiba site and all drivers for your laptop:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    I have too many Satellite Pro A300 and it s not delivered with the Toshiba Recovery disk because you create such a floppy yourself. So start the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop and you can create this disk. It contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can restore the entire system every time.

  • Satellite Pro A300 wrong interpret all THE CD/DVD

    Hello

    I need help!, I have a Satellite Pro A300 equipped with a multimode GSA - T50N (RT04), DVD player, but it does not work.

    The drive appears as DVD RW drive (e :))

    If I put a DVD or a CD player will not autorun and will, say something like 0 bytes free 645 MB (for example), when I right click on the drive icon and select Explorer, I get a message "prepare this blank disc.
    It doesn't matter what kind of media, I put in or even if its Blanck, formatted, a cd of music etc the size 0 bytes free of 645 (can be anything) is always different, but always appears the message "prepare this blank disc.

    How can I solve this that the laptop is totally useless without the player works correctly.

    Scott

    I had the same idea

    I recommend first of all remove all the system burning software.
    Go to Device Manager, and then remove the drive from CD/DVD to the list of devices. Then start the registry and go to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    After that, restart the device and wait for the CD/DVD drive was recognized again

  • Satellite Pro A300-28R: slow start and freeze on Internet Explorer

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-28R and I'm very disappointed with the performance.
    (1) from the card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'Please wait' it's probably not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

    (2) I will try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
    For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
    I only bought it last Friday, and I have not used a lot, but probably a bit disappointing so far.
    Any ideas why the cursor freezes on google or on the toolbar internet explorer?

    FYI, I use Vista Business OS and Internet explore

    any help welcome

    > 1) card, it looks like a decent laptop, but with the start time of 3 minutes, 'please wait' is surely not impress me considering the fact that I have nothing installed yet...

    I'll tell you how to reduce the startup time of your laptop.
    I think you are using Vista and the Tempro should be installed too
    You have two options: either you would update the Tempro or remove the system. Both should help make the Mobile QuickStart.

    (> 2) I'll try to uninstall applications like tempro, but still I am intrigued by the slow response on the internet pages.
    For example when I go on google and start typing something more time, the cursor freezes and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to see what I'm typing.
    You should update right Vista in the current state, and should also check if certain unnecessary processes running in the background.
    You can do this by using the msconfig.

    In addition, you should check if your antivirus software does not slow down the system.

    Just a tip; I m using the free software Antivir. It of free and it s really nice, it doesn't have a lot of material resources.

  • Satellite Pro A300: How to recover the Vista operating system

    My friend has a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 it has a 4 GB of ram, but on Windows Xp shows only 3 GB
    I also want to put in place the back of the Vista, but I can't not insatall any operating system (only the Toshiba Xp dvd)
    (there is a HDD recovery folder on the C drive, I think it is the Vista that he owned before but a don't know how to install it)

    Ok. If the folder in HARD drive recovery then it should be possible to carry out a procedure for HARD drive recovery, remain on the second partition.

    First of all, start Notepad and press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been powered. Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
    A new window should open, and you should choose the last option called Toshiba HDD Recovery.
    Then follow the instructions on the screen.

    This should usually works if the folder of HARD disk recovery and partition has not changed or deleted.

    Check it out if it does not, you will need to order a Vista of Toshiba Recovery DVD:

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE re-start when it is plugged

    I've had this laptop stored for awhile that I couldn't work through this problem, but I'll have another chance.

    The laptop is a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE.
    The problem I am haiving, is that the laptop might restart whenever I connect the PSU, but not when you use a live CD (Ubuntu).

    Let me try to Flash a BIOS replacement to see if this will fix the problem.
    Unfortunately, the necessary software to Flash the BIOS requires the laptop to be plugged.

    Is there a way around this problem?
    Can I trick the software into thinking it is plugged?
    Is there a way I can return/repair of the BIOS in a different way because obviously the problem has always been there.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry mate but I'm afraid I n t m know exactly what the problem is
    You said that you can not boot from a Linux Live CD, but you can install a Windows system on this laptop?

    Why do you think the BIOS is the problem?
    Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should power on correctly and should boot

    Can you explain the problem exactly?
