Since the attempt to reformat my webcam and MIC do not work

I tried to reformat my laptop a little in back and ever since then my built-in webcam and microphone will not work. My laptop is an Alienware M17XR3. I did everything that I can think of to solve the problem but nothing worked. Thought it might have deleted the driver for the webcam and the microphone if necessary. If someone could help me I would be very happy

  • I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

    Have you contacted technical support Gateway?  http://support.gateway.com/us/en/support/default.aspx

    If for some reason you can't do that, more information about what you mean by "will not work" would be useful - how you try to use it (in an application provided by gateway, Skype, etc.) and what (error?) when you try?

  • The two blackBerry Smartphones, Slacker Radio and Pandora do not work

    OK, so a few days ago I was listening to the music of the Slacker Radio App and everything worked but there was absolutely no noise, so I just let go and used the music on my SD card. When I got home I restarted Slacker and there was still no sound, so I went to www.slacker.com and I found their support customer and I spoke with one of the people who work at the lazy and he had me do a battery pull - still no sound. then I uninstalled lazy and rebooted my storm and when it did reboot I reinstalled slacker - still no sound. then he had me send some logs of the Slacker app to see what they could find, and I still nothing back.

    So today, I decided to try Pandora radio and there is just no music when he has to play. I'm completely out of ideas, I know that's not the speaker because the storm music player works perfectly

    Okay, stupid question... on the device, you use the phone's speaker, or the speaker (by ear).

    If one does not work, try the other.

    Try to connect your earphone or headphone?

    No matter what? We determine where the sound does NOT come from.

    I upgraded my VAIO (VPCZ2190X) to Windows 8. I lost the HDMI connection and a few opportunities for expansion pad mouse because of the graphics card with drivers not appropriate. Anyone know how to get these drivers?

    I have the same problem - no HDMI on the output adapter since the upgrade to Windows 8. Sony upgrade information said that we had to restart when the connection to the docking station after the upgrade, but he indicated that it would cooperate.

  • After foolishly doing a system restore I can't find the files I thought I saved, and excel does not work.

    Excel is asking for the product key and I have the key to the offfice of microsoft, I bought. This is not correct.

    Hello

    System Restore makes the computer settings to an earlier point in time.

    System recovery is reinstalled the operating system configuration (new condition)

    System Restore and system recovery are often terms that are confused.

    Many people use both terms to refer to reinstalling the operating system; effectively use the machine to factory settings; It seems that you have done.

    Reinstalling the operating system wipe the hard clean of everything.

    If you have done this, you can try this free program to see what 'lost' data, it can find.

    Regarding your problem of Office:

    You don't say how you have reinstalled Excel.

    Are you try to put your paid for the Office product key in a trial version Office pre-installed?

    If so, uninstall the Office of judgment and reinstall your version of Office purchased the original media he came on, CD, DVD.

    And another thing: the product key on your computer is for the Windows operating system, not for the office.

    Office must be purchased separately. (you said, but I wanted to clear it for you)

    See you soon.

  • My USB ports and MIC do not work. I hope that this is not the motherboard. Someone knows how to fix this?

    Initially, it was a port that would not work. Before the USB ports out I did pay my phone with the USB cable. Before that my microphone stopped working. Deactivation and activation of the ports as well as uninstall then re install the USB readers and I tried a system restore. I also tried to take the battery for an hour or two and restart the PC. None of this has worked. Today, I heard some hope of my computer... I heard the sound of him recognize a dongle that is plugged. This sound is produced after starting my PC. I have not heard in a while and still haven't when I unplug and plug back in to the dongles. My computer (a laptop) like also to restart auto sometimes when I close the lid and open it, the screen does not light and it will be off and try to restart itself but the screen never lights up and he'll stop and try several times to start. In this case I have to hold the power button down to turn off completely and take the battery out and put it back in, then turn it on. I feel that it's a hardware problem but I'm not that great with computers and I don't want to give up yet on this computer. It cost me a pretty penny and I am a broke student.

    If anyone had the same types of problems and has a solution I'm willing to try anything.
    Thanks in advance

    Tips for solving problems of USB devices

    It seems that you have to re - enable ports in the BIOS (Basic input/output system) settings.
