Satellite Pro A300 - driver Webcam cannot start under Win 7

Recently bought a satellite Pro A300 and immediately updated from Vista to Win7 Pro Bus.
Do not use webcam before upgrade.

After upgrade, after downloading and installing the Toshiba Chicony webcam software, continually get message "Webcam driver open fail." "Please restart camera or computer.
Camera appears in Device Manager and says driver is a Microsoft 6.1.7600.16385 driver v dated 06/21/06 (very pre-Win7!).

Have you tried unistalling/reinstalling software camera assistant with and without first uninstalling the program camera in Device Manager, but the same error message comes back every time. I would appreciate suggestions for a fix.

Hello

In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.

    Hello

    You have installed Win 7 but you didn t install some tools that controls the FN keys!

    You need to install the support card Flash Utility and added value package!
    You can find that both page European driver Toshiba Satellite L500 download area!

    PS: I think you should also check the BIOS settings. Some BIOS contains an option to toggle the wifi.

    In addition, go to-> properties Device Manager card Wlan-> Advanced tab
    Here, you can activate Wlan card too!

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

    Hi all

    I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

    Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
    The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

    It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

    It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Andy

    Hey Buddy

    Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

    Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

    Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

    Good luck

  • Driver webcam cannot install using Win 7 64 bit on Satellite Pro T110 - 11 L

    Hello

    I'm trying to use the webcam came with the laptop, it's a Satellite Pro T110 - 11L.

    It is currently running Windows 7 64 bit and I tried to install the web camera for Windows 7 64-bit drivers and even the XP version which Toshiba site has on the page drivers.

    The two pilots of the web unit fail during installation that gives "Application DMICheck stopped working" error.

    Thank you
    Hugo Figueira

    Hello Hugo

    According to the specifications of the laptop your model T was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64 bit professional. Original recovery image contains a preinstalled software webcam and it is configured to start automatically, so I would like to know since when you noticed this problem.

    I can't imagine that this problem persists since the first day. Am I right about that?

    Are you still using original preinstalled OS?
    By the way: this is the driver for the webcam just for your laptop model.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - menu Windows cannot start

    Hello

    I have a problem where I can't start something on my computer.
    I seem to have two operating systems that come up at startup fistly

    When I turn on the computer it freezes for centuries, then says failed 0203 IDE #2 I think it's because as my hard drive broke and I replaced it then I get two options
    go to the BIOS or boot menu.

    If I boot and I start an another two options either a bad install of windows xp pro, or a bad installation of Windows XP
    no work, I can't get into all the bios settings by using the command mode without fail fast or any of these options and it seems to work when I try boot discs to erase the hard drive or the bios boot disks.

    I'm almost was to buy a new hardrive that this would maybe cheaper to fix, any help? I no im a beginner but I will be back for all solutions,.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    0203 IDE #2 error is displayed because the device connected to the second IDE controller is not recognized by the BIOS.
    This means that there is something wrong with the IDE controller or the connected device.
    In most cases it s a CD/DVD drive which is broken.

    In this case, the replacement is necessary, but you must use the STRANGE fully compatible!
    Not all CD/DVD drives are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    Now you say that you are not able to access the BIOS
    Have you tried the right key? Press F2 during switching on laptop.
    This should help.

    But if you are still not able to access the BIOS, then that means that your motherboard is affected
    The motherboard is one of the parts expensive laptop the laptop seems to be a good old classic in my opinion it s not worth to replace.

  • Satellite Pro P300-19 q - cannot start with a new memory

    So, I want to add 2 GB of RAM to 2 GB existing. I use Windows 7 64-bit. In the BIOS, I see 4 GB of memory, but windows won't start.

    When removing the old memory and leaving the new, the computer isn't even strats. Some info:
    Old memory - Samsung M4 70T5663QZ3-CF7 2 GB DDR2 - 800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz)
    New memory - Spectek DDR2 2 GB PC6400 800 MHz 200 pin

    So, what's the problem? And what can I do?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Theoretically, it should be possible to use 4 GB in this notebook.

    The new RAM is the manufacturing of Spectek. This production does not for me. For me, looks not dear noname module.

    I always use Kingston modules to upgrade my laptop. I've never had any problems with these modules, so you should try it to.
    I think that the new module isn't compatible with your laptop.

  • 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.
