  • Re: Satellite L500 - 19 X - start the Webcam with Windows application

    I lost my webcam on the Desktop Application.

    Can I bring back by accessing the Web camera Application / Program (86) / Toshiba / Web camera Application and clicking on the Web Camera Application .exe. But it do not reappear when I boot. I have the Auto Run has ticked.

    My laptop is the Satellite L500 - 19 X, Windows 7
    Thanks for any help.

    Hey William,

    Normally in the webcam software you choose whether the application should be started with Windows or not.
    Did you check that?

    In addition, you should check it in msconfig (start > run > msconfig). There you can find a list of all the programs that start up with Windows. Make sure that the software of the webcam is not disabled.

    In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the software, but it only takes a few minutes. ;)

  • How can I update the driver for the webcam running Windows 98 > vista windows?

    Hello

    How could I go to get a driver who runs a
    Home QuickCam vs Webcam on my Windows Vista computer? I found the webcam in an old car for scrap, but the software is not compatible with my Vista. Pleassssse! help > I been up all night looking for the web and gettn dressing!  Thank you, Faye

    Get the manufacturer, the brand and model of the Webcam and go to the manufacturer's technical support group and see if they have Vista drivers available for download.  If they do not exist, I'm afraid you're out of luck. If available, download and install and you should be running.  But you should contact the manufacturer.  Given the age, it is very likely that there's no Vista drivers for this device.  There is no realistic way to do your own drivers, unless you are a developer of professional pilot (and even then, it would be not possible).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to install the Webcam on Windows 7 without driver from the manufacturer.

    Hello

    I have a laptop Sony Vaio CR120E. I recently bought a copy of Windows 7 64 bit, but I can not install the old driver of the webcam on it and Sony has not released a newer version of the driver for Windows 7 (64-bit). Is it possible to get the webcam working without downgrading to windows vista?
    Thank you.

    Double click on the entry of the webcam in DM. If it is there. Go to the Details tab / change hardware ID. Copy (highlight / press Ctrl + c) to copy whats here. Then paste it here or Google.

    There are other brands of laptops, etc. which may use the same cam but have Windows 7 x 64 drivers

  • HP 15 r033tx: r033tx hp 15: how to use the webcam in windows 7

    Hi friends

    I am not able to use my webcam on my hp 15 r033tx (win 7 64-bit) Windows 7 has no webcam software pre-installed. Cyberlink youcam is available for my r033tx hp 15 hp's official website.

    I need to know if the youcam is the full version or trial version because if it's the full version only then I'll upload it.

    Thank you

    John

    Hi John,.

    Thr versions of YouCam available at HP are versions of 'cut' of the product at retail.  It contains all the features of the retail option, but this is not a trial version - IE there is no time expiry/trial regarding its use.

  • Troubleshoot the error 8024D00E, Windows Update error Code.

    Update for Vista 64-bit Windows does not allow me to install updates, because it does not have new updates. Error code 8024D00E keeps popping up, and without WU works correctly, I can't use my Zune software. Help?

    [The computer is connected to the internet] for 2-3 weeks before I put MSE on my PC... [and] my cousin had a microSD card to 8 GB that [he had inserted]

    It is likely that your computer has been infected during this period of 2-3 weeks, possibly via the SD card of your cousin.

    Your best bet would be now backup all personal data (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this stage) and then format the drive HARD & clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT solve this problem or will be upgraded to a new version of Windows.

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet otherwise (for example, to surf, check email, chat, download other stuff) or a network and before using a USB or SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted :

  • Problem with the Arcsoft webcam Companion 4 after the installation of windows 8

    I have VPCCB390X laptop Vaio from Sony. I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8. My web cam worked very well after that installation for a day and now its shows an error "the last USB you connected is not recognized or bad boy" and I couldn't find any category of imaging devices in Device Manager. The webcam has become an unknown device. I tried to contact sony and microsoft, but none helped me. Microsoft says that drivers may be incompatible. I checked with the upgrade of Windows 8 assistant, and he noted that the companion of Arcsoft web cam is compatible with Windows 8. I tried to reinstall the software and drivers, but that did not help and the problem persists. Can I have a solution to this?

    Hello

    Check with the Sony Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
    Forums about known problems. BIOS update, chipset of low level drivers and major
    embedded device drivers. If there is no version of Windows 8, try the latest versions of Windows 7.
    Do not forget to ASK Sony Support and in their forums, because there are likely to be known
    questions.

    Translate Windows 7 to Windows 8 methods (there is little difference):

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

    You probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera (general control software
    included with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your
    System. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address
    of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and
    more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
    current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
    fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
    the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
    certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver
    stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if
    3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers you
    a.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
    Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions.
    (Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT
    After each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you install
    actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
    (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
    installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat BTW to the manufacturers - manufacturers of devices DO WORK DO NOT THEIR SCANNER-
    manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Where can I find driver updates?

    Unfortunately, it seems that the Satellite A500 is too old and will not be Windows 10 drivers.
