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.aspxIf 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.With regard to:

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.

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.

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.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

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.

Mozilla said that they are respectful of my privacy, then why do you want to use my camera phone and audio for NO REASON? 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.
