  After trying to load the webcam, I get the message: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I tried to update the software driver for the camera and updated the BIOS.

  This message keeps coming up again. It is better to uninstall the camera attemtping completely and then reinstall?

  Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, im not entirely 'computer savvy '.

  I hope someone can help,

  Thank you
  Ben

  > Is it the camera attemtping completely uninstalling then reinstalling?
  Of course!

  You should first go to Device Manager and need to uninstall the driver.
  You must also remove the software from Control Panel-> software

  After that, you must clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner. It s tool free google
  Then restart the laptop several times and reinstall the webcam software.

  See you soon

  He says 'webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I completely agree with Akuma you should try Windows 7 beta driver for the Chicony webcam from the Toshiba page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  But do not forget that Windows 7 isn't out yet so it s a little difficult to get drivers tested for it.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings.

  Good bye

  Is there a somewere expert who can help me solve this probem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Best regards, Jeroen.

  * Download driver Chicony Webcam drivers from Toshiba Web site section was updated. If you can't find an updated driver, try a new driver of another model of Toshiba.
  * Install the Service Pack 1 of Vista, or Vista Hotfix KB934374: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934374 (KB934374 is included in SP1)
  * Update your e-mail software (MSN/Yahoo Messenger, etc...)
  * If you have another program that can use the webcam (e.g. Skype), make sure that they are completely closed and not, sitting in the system tray.
  * Try to close the bar Assistant camera on the left side of the office.
  * To stop the Camera Assistant software from running at startup, run Regedit and delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "Camera Assistant Software".

  If this does not work, the best option would be to backup your data and run recovery. If it still does not work, then the webcam itself may be faulty.

  I see you are using Vista
  Well, first you must make sure that Vista is up-to-date!
  You used the recovery and that means that Vista needs to be updated to the latest state!
  All the service packs and other patches must be installed.

  Then remove the software of the webcam of the system, clean the base registry (CCleaner, etc.) and after reboot again trying to reinstall the webcam software

  Hello

  Before performing a recovery facility, you should try to update the driver for the webcam and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If it doesn t work you must run an installation recovery and in the worst case, the hardware may be faulty and you will need assistance from an authorized service provider.
  If your laptop is still under warranty, the repair should be free.

  What can I do?

  HELP, please)

  Hello

  I see that you have installed Microsoft messenger and ICQ on your system.
  Try disabling these two applications before you start the webcam.

  If it does not help to remove the installed webcam software, restart the computer and reinstall it again.
  But let the two applications (MS messenger, ISQ) disabled during the installation of the webcam driver.

  By the way; Keep you Win XP OS always up-to-date! Sometimes the MS patches or fixes are needed to run these free peripheral trouble,
