• I can't find my web cam

  OK my hard drive went and installed dell a new one now, I can't find my web cam all if on it I was just down loaded Skype it allows me to make video calls, but when I turn off Skype I can't find my web cam

  You may need to re - download your webcam software.  The driver itself is already installed and work (which explains why the other programs as Skype can use it), but if you want to use it alone, you need the Webcam video software.

  It may be available for download at support.Dell.com, or you can search the Web for your favorite software.  You remember what it was called?

• Satellite L870-124 web camera initialization failed.

  When we arrived first of all our laptop, we have managed to find the web camera. We used it, but now I'd like to try Skype. The web camera is not found. On the start menu, it appears under "all programs" Toshiba"'media and entertainment'"web camera application. When you try to use it, we get a message saying that he was unable to initialize.

  I tried to download the drivers from here but always got the same message.

  My husband has managed to find the webcam in the BIOS by pressing F2 when the computer has just been turned on. It has been shown as active, so it isn't that.

  I looked at how to find the Device Manager and have now found in the control panel under system and security. There is nothing here that looks like a web camera, not even by pressing the view and looking in hidden devices

  I tried to read forum entries that seem to be similar problems, but I do not understand some of the answers.

  I tried pressing FN and F9, Mine isn't a small sign of the camera. That didn't seem to do anything.

  Can someone advise me in plain English, please. ?

  Hi Joanmiller,

  (the advent of services internal) or the Support of Advent (see links below).

  Login as an administrator.

  Control Panel - Device Manager - Imaging - write down of the brand and the model of camera - double
  Click on it and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who cannot do anything
  that MS is far behind the drivers of certification). The RIGHT CLICK on the camera - UNINSTALL

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver of the camera and other partners

• Failure of Toshiba web camera

  So I had this recurring problem with my Web camera integrated, saying that the device is locked by a device. I turned the problem of evil and who came up with a different answer, saying that the device is not compatible. I would try other options before taking my computer geek team, ideas for this problem?

  There are many applications that use a web camera. You can have Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Skype etc as examples. If one or more of these programs are already functioning in the computer, it will have access to the web-camera. So if you try to run another application that uses the camera, you might get this message. And applications like Skype, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, etc gets minimized in the system Notification area when you click on the X mark to close. So even if you think that you have closed these requests, in fact they can always clocked in the computer.

  There are two things that can be done to check if this is the origin of the problem:

  1. you can kill the process related to the programs that may be using your web camera from the Windows Task Manager and then check the issue. Here is how to kill a process:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/end-a-process

  2. you can set the computer to boot and check the issue. Clean boot will start the computer keeping the disabled non-Windows programs. The link below describes the boot, I suggest to read entire article before performing the steps, because after troubleshooting, you probably want to the computer is back to normal startup again, which is also described in this article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  You also mentioned a message where some convenience store says that your device is not compatible with your operating system. I think you should contact Toshiba about this, rather than Geek Squad. You can have some driver or updates of the firmware available for your device, which, I believe, will be better known to the Geek Squad than Toshiba.

  I hope that helps!

• Operation of Web cam

  I bought my Ideapad U330 under Vista. The first turn of the system on my web cam appears on the screen and worked very well. I've upgraded to Windows 7 and now cannot get the camera on the screen. The driver is installed and running, also when I press Fn + Esc icon appears on the screen showing the cam but no image of the cam show. Is there something I'm missing here? DRM for all suggestions/assistance received. fchurch74

  I had the same experience w / my T400.  It seems that Win 7 is an application (outside of the OS) to display the image of the camera.

  Try YAWCAM and see if it works for you.

  Any help will be much appreciated.
