    Hey Dr. Anil.V. George,
     
    Welcome to Microsoft Vista Forum!
     
    You need to install windows live messenger to use the webcam to not being able to video chat or use a video recorder to third parties to use the webcam.
     
    I recommend you consult the following link for more information on the use of the webcam:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Canada/Home/communications-and-mobility/articles/webcam-basics-how-do-they-work.aspx

    If the latest driver updates are required, you can also check the manufacturer's Web site to download the latest version of the driver for the camera for the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer, or if you have received a Driver from Sony disk, you can try to install the drivers for the camera using the disc.
     
    Hope this information is useful.
     
    Let me know if it worked.

    Nothing new added to comp. Got the hard drive error message and followed the instructions to fix/repair. All translations tried (almost every test suggested/memory/hard drive, etc.) could find NO problem with the memory or hard drive.  Once I have pass the problem to boot/start the computer works fine!   Crazy!  Any sugg. would be appreciated.

    Hello

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        What are the fix and repair that you tried to solve this problem?

    ·        Outside this disk verification error, do you get any other error message?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to do a scan of the SFC. File system (CFS) Auditor verifies that all Windows 7 system files are where they should be as they are by default and not corrupted, changed or damaged.

    ·        Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator.

    ·        Click on continue or provide administrator credentials if prompted.

    ·        In the command prompt window, type the following text, and then press ENTER:

    ·        sfc/scannow

    ·        You should see the following message on the screen:

    § Begin the analysis of the system. This process will take time.

    § Beginning verification phase of system scan.

    ·        % Of verification complete.

    ·        Once the scan is complete, a test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved or not.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to set Chkdsk to run when the system restarts the next time. Follow the steps mentioned below to set Chkdsk to run when Windows Vista reboots the next time.

    a. click on start, then run.

    b. in open, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

    c. use one of the following procedures:

    Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

    Procedure 2: To repair errors without scanning the volume for bad sectors, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / f, and then press ENTER.

    Procedure 1: To run Chkdsk in read-only, at the command prompt, type chkdsk, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

    a. Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    b. Type O, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    Procedure 2: To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed:

  • digital camera is not compatible with this version of windows vista

    Does this mean that I can't use my camera on this laptop?  Digital camera DVC-305

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    If it is not compatible with Vista and the camera makers can not help you, there is nothing that can be done about it.

  • Due to corrupt files, I had to format my computer HARD drive which had OEM Windows Vista Home Premium 32, now I couldn't find it, I want the same real OS, what do I do?

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite p300 version made. Is it possible for me to download and install a trial version of Vista 32 and enter the serial number given at the back of my laptop to save it? I don't want to buy another OS, while I already paid for it. Comments, tips, suggestions, and help is appreciated! Thank you.

    Hello

    Why did did you format it. That's what you had to do to reinstall Vista.

    https://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/bulletinDetail.jsp?soID=2737864&PF=true

    If the mentioned in this link recovery Partition is destroyed, you will need to contact Toshiba and see if they have Vista recovery discs available.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    They provide, for a fee.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  • Why the android app does want my material contols (camera and audio, etc.)?

I want to get away from Google because it is invasive... but what Firefox wants to "permissions" are just as bad. Is it possible to install without this requirement unreasonable?

    Hello

    Please read how we use permissions below

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-Firefox-Android-use-permissions-it-requests

    We ask only the camera and the microphone when you opt - in the camera and microphone for the sites that make use of selectively to the WebRTC (see http://www.webrtc.org/). We provide a browser menu dialog drop-down where you can select your camera and microphone. It's only on media that support this feature (which is part of the HTML5 draft specification) for example, https://apprtc.appspot.com

    Hope that clears that up.
