  • Service pack 3 on my computer but the webcam I bought required service pack 2

    I have service pack 3 on my computer, but the webcam I bought required service pack 2.  What can I uninstall 3 and make 2?

    * original title - I have service pack 3 but need service pack 2 for the webcam

    Yes, you can do it.

    but there might be a chance that if you last updated your system to sp3, the driver would not work.

    That being said, go to the website of the webcam and review their installation instructions because they have updated their software or hardware cam driver for the component that you have purchased.

    either way, it seems that the cam was made during the time when xp sp2 was on the market.

  • I built in webcam on my laptop but I don't know how to get to the top to see?

    original title: built in Webcam

    I built in webcam on my laptop but I don't know how to get to the top to see?

    What should I go for?

    First of all, your system must have appropriate drivers for your webcam and then you need an application to use it.

    You could get the app and drivers both with your PC you can use these, otherwise go the manufacturer's Web site and find what is appropriate for your system.

    You can try Windows Update for drivers too.

  • DVD/CD driver is detected by computer but when any disk is put in it does not read.

    LightScribe DVD Supermulti drive / CD - Writeris found by computer, but can not read any kind of dick that is inserted. How can I fix this. or do I need a new driver?

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • Built a new computer, kept the hard drive from my old computer but had Vista OEM

    I have set up a new computer, but kept my hard drive to save money, I did not know that that I was not allowed to do, and now I'm stuck without a computer! Rather than buying a new copy of windows is it possible to get my renewed series and re - install off a friends Vista CD? I'm in the United Kingdom if it makes a difference to contact departments/services on this subject.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM disk/license, it is non-transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.

    See you soon.

  • Unable to get any audio from webcams built in mic

    I still can't get audio of my webcams built in mic, I have Windows Vista Home Basic desktop Dell 32 bit, I went into Control Panel and click on hardware and audio and I noticed that one of my card drivers sound is missing it was a microphone icon and he disappeared. I have an old microphone that I connected to microphone before and I did a sound check and it works very well and when I try to use my new webcams built in mic a pop up and it is said (cannot create audio filter). I made no changes to the computer, all my drivers have been updated. The name of my webcam is Gear head 5.0MP HD I tried everything to get the audio from webcams to work, I also made sure the mute was off and she was not dumb.

    Now I know not which driver was missing as far as I know, it's a microphone that was present in the recording tab and he had a microphone and then icon the next day, that the driver had disappeared, I thought to go to the Device Manager, but I don't know which driver it is on and how to reinstall the driver.

    I don't really know what to do and how to solve this problem, can you please help me.

    So thank you for your time

    On the sound, the record tab, tried to right click on the device, and then click 'Show damage disabled' or ' Show disconnected devices? If your microphone has shown, you can set as default.

    To access the recording tab, right click on the speaker icon on the tray (Notification area), in the context menu that appears, click on "sound".

  • Computer can not detect the printer so that connected via USB

    My computer runs on Windows 7 Professional and my printer is model # D110a.

    My printer has worked fine since I got it, but a few weeks ago, my computer has been infected by a virus that forced me to reformat and reinstall everything. I installed the necessary software from the installation CD supplied with the printer, but when I try to connect my printer through the 'Add Device' option in the Configuration menu, my computer does not detect even if the printer is on and physically connected by a USB cable.

    Help please, I don't have the money to buy a new printer.

    No problem. Just glad that you solved. Can you go ahead and mark this as resolved to close issue? Thank you.

    Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.

    Can someone help me please?
    Best regards

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    Hello

    Make sure that the network adapter is in the PCI slot.

    If it does, and it's not working, then try another card.

    P.S. Consider that pushing the thing around you can judge the computer unstable. Think twice before wanting to put money in such an old computer.
