  • Webcam not recognized in Windows XP with VMware Fusion

    I use VMware Fusion 2.0 on a Macbook Pro with Windows XP.  I've been using Yahoo Messenger with the iSight webcam and I think I accidently deleted the icon at the bottom of the VMware window and now the web cam is not recognized in Windows at all.  The iSight camera works just fine under MacOS, but I can't find how to do Windows or VMware recognizes the camera.  I guess I could reinstall VMware and it might solve the problem but I'm looking for an easier route when it exists. Someone at - it a similar problem?

    Thank you

    Have you checked the settings of your virtual machine to see if the isight is activated must be forwarded to the VM?  You might consider checking or setting these options under usb.  Also if you have version 2.0 only then you can consider update 2.0.5 before reinstalling VMware.

  • Yoga Pro 2 - display not recognized in windows (hardware or driver problem?)

    Out of warranty by a month!

    Yoga Pro 2-256 gb, installed a new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1

    The touchscreen still work while the screen is black.

    System restarted after the mode 'sleep', in my opinion.

    The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load Windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it so it is a hypothesis of load) drafts of the screen and the black light is on.

    Can I connect an external monintor that connects after the return from sleep mode (odd). Who then off the backlight.

    When the external monitor, the internal screen is not yet recognized by windows.

    When I boot in safe mode, the internal display works fine with of course limited capabilities.

    I rebooted on the support site display drivers.

    Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.

    Someone at - he of the clues as to what my happen? Hardware, driver etc?

    Can what information I provide?

    It is a pretty weird problem with contradictory observations.

    (1) screen working in Mode safe but not regular boot. (So not the hardware problem)

    (2) display on an external monitor in normal mode. (So, no drivers issue)

    Have you installed the wireless card yourself? You unplug the cable from the screen during the installation of the card?

    Could you re - open and check that all connections are good?

    The Wi - Fi card works well?

    I also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that it is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure you make a backup on an external drive for your personal files.

  • CD/DVD drive not recognized by Windows Vista

    I installed a suite of burningb of CD and DVD on my Toshiba (under Vista Home Premium). My CD/DVD drive appeared more in the computer and was no longer functional. I deleted the program I installed and apparently caused the problem, but it did not help. I have read through the help of Microsoft (929461, 314060) documents and used the Fix - It utility. Also unsuccessful. I discovered the response of Martin, the technical support engineer made on May 5, 2009. I followed his instructions with great success. However, my question now is this: I have still some remains of the problem left over. I get an error message at startup saying, 'InstaBurn UDF driver is not installed correctly. Run the InstaBurn installation program. ' InstaBurn is part of the suite of the copy (hotpics by Nova Development Corp.).  I also have an error message of my reader DVD Toshiba saying that the DVD player does not work - although it is. I played a DVD as a test on it after that I followed the instructions above. How can I remove these error messages annoying that aren't accurate?  Would appreciate any information about this minor - but annoying problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

  • I have a problem with the passoword not recognized on Windows 7.

    Original title: password not recognized by Windows 7

    Hello

    My father has a Windows 7 PC. He wants access to his PC with a password. After you set the password for the account in the configuration, it is not possible to use the password login; the answer is that the password is not correct. When I then log on to the computer with a different account, and try to reset my fathers a non administrator account password, I ask myself to use my user name of fathers and provide the password for my account of fathers (he is administrator). When I enter the password, it is accepted as correct. How can I set a password for my fathers account and use it to open a session? Are the different passwords for 1 account?
    Please note that it uses a personal account with administrator rights. The computer has been scanned for viruses with Norton 360 several times.

    Kind regards

    Steafn

    This type of problem is caused by one of the following reasons:

    • CapsLock is on
    • NumLock is on
    • You have more than one keyboard language installed. When the session opened, a different card is used subsequently. Use a password that is insensitive to the evolution of your cards. Start by '123456' confidence.
