• Re: Satellite A300 - how can I make the webcam work on Win7

  Hello everyone.

  I had Win Vista installed on this Satellite A300 and it worked well.
  I had no problem at all.

  Then I moved to Win7 and now I'm going through the test of the work of webcam.
  I tried to install all types of drivers, even those for A500, but it would be of no use.

  So, how can I make the webcam work on my A300?

  I've tried everything, even the installation of Ubuntu on this laptop and still it wouldn't work. If this is your interest, I'm under Win7 in Spanish, x 32, Home Edition.

  I really need your help here, please, I beg you, I spent 5 days ago almost try ANYTHING!
  And yet, I get the message after each installation/reboot of the: "the camara web esta disabled o ha Fall.» "Por favor, it check las web camara su configs", which would result in something like "the webcam is disabled or it has failed. Please check the configuration of your webcam. I've been browsing the forum for related issues, but I have not found any solution :(

  Thanks in advance,

  Ozma.

• The webcam works in all the other video capture software except for Skype

  Hi, I have tried many things and read many possible solutions to this problem, but none of them have solved my problem. Can I use my webcam in windows movie maker and the built-in software, but it doesn't seem to work in Skype. When I start a video call, my video is replaced by a loading circle which is also what sees the person at the other end. I have attached my dxdiag display as others did fact. I appreciate any help you can give. Thank you!

  Try to connect your LifeCam webcam to another USB port. Better is to connect directly to a USB 2.0 on your computer.

• Problem with the webcam works in reverse.

  Why, withsout warning and both my webcam work backwards? not help reinstalling

  If you can't find the orientation for the Asus webcam options in the Asus configuration applet, try to find similar situations in the program that you use with the webcam. For example, in Skype it would be somewhere in tools, Options, settings video - Webcam settings.

I heard someone reinstall the webcam as it is related to the micro, but now the webcam works only sometimes. He lights up a bit on this little thing of racing cars, but it does not appear on the face recognition at all.

• Webcam - Skype says that the webcam is not working

  I tried Skype this morning and for some reason any, they told me that the Webcam was not working. Why would that happen? I have not had problems with this before that my computer is less than 4 months. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can use the camera without Skype? Have you rebooted to see if something was blocking
  access the camera?

  Troubleshoot camera connection
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

  You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
  with the drivers and installed at the same time).

  Login as an administrator.

  Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
  on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
  is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
  will update the driver stack.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
  software (if not more recent get the same).

  Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

  Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
  to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
  those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
  really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

• Webcam works does not in my dell n5110

  It comes to my webcam on dell n5110. This problem has a bit of history. So far, the story is like this:

  The webcam worked perfectly for about a year. I have not used for about a month and then when I try to use Dell Webcam central application showed webcam not detected error. I tried other software like Skype and other chat tools webcam online, but the result was the same. Then I posted a similar message on this forum looking for an answer. People were really helpful and they gave me different types of tips and methods to try.

  I tried all. It was not all devices under imaging devices in Device Manager. There is no unknown devices listed either.

  I used dell troubleshooting tools both online and offline, they all said that there is no such device on your laptop. They did not have a clue on a webcam.

  I have re installed Dell webcam central software. But nothing has changed. I also removed all the usb devices on Device Manager and let them to be reinstalled. Yet, there is nothing.

  They advised me to Flash the bios. I tried, but the application was released showing "cannot Flash the bios to the same version. I tried to load the default settings in the bios.

  Then I removed the front panel of the laptop and unplugged and plugged cable connection webcam from the top as they said, it may be a bad connection. However, he did not a difference.

  Days like this and a few days later, when I turned on my lap, a new notification of pilot plant appeared and the USB device has been installed. And Yes, this is the driver for the webcam. Webcam was working fine. I ran the test on the application dell several times and webcam passed between them all the time. It was just like new. But it was not consistent. Webcam disappear suddenly as in the first case, leaving no clue as to what happened and then came back in the same way as before. I don't know what caused the web cam to do. This happened several times.

  Now, it's the history of the problem.

  • He worked like that for about three months. And now the webcam didn't go back a month. I think on the replacement of the webcam. The question is whether it will solve my problem?
  • What are the symptoms of a hardware failure? Only, I checked the connection of the cable to the module of webcam. Can there be a bad connection at the other end of the cable?

  Also, I believe that the network of microphones is also in the webcam module. It worked very well, even when the webcam was missing. And it still works very well.

  • Webcam and microphone two separate units or they come together?
  • The connection of microphone array goes through the same cable from the webcam? If this is the case, the possibility of a failure of the webcam because of the bad connection may be cancelled?

  A lot of questions. I waiting for your good advice.

  Thank you

  Hi pavan_m4,

  Thank you for your patience and all the troubleshooting steps to solve the problem. I suspect it is the hardware problem. Given that the camera worked after the new update of driver, try to restore the system to factory State. Back up the data before you restore the computer. Please click on the link for Windows 7 PC Restore:

  http://Dell.to/15DfFoj

  In case the problem persists even after PC Restore, you can consider replacing the Webcam. Camera and microphone cable are integrated and it is a single cable.

• Resolution of the webcam problems

  Hi all

  I finally decided me coming here on a resolution of the webcam problem: since Skype updates that followed the 6.2 version, I can't simply a resolution on my bodily proportions. In other words, I think that Skype automatically assigns to a resolution of 1280 x 720, which makes my head like a balloon look hot air (not really convenient for job interviews, I must say). And Skype seem not to care about changes in resolution, as I do in the file "config.xml". Any idea to solve this problem? I really want to be myself again.

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Hi guys, we have made some changes to fix the problem with the BisonCam, NB Pro cameras. Can you please restart your last client Skype for Windows Desktop (6.11) and see if now BisonCam Nb Pro works? Thanks in advance
