Webcam does not start

When I try to start my Youcam on my HP Pavilion dv7 webcam, I get a box that opens indicating, warning, no webcam detected. Try connecting a webcam on your computer now. If you are using a built-in camera, make sure it is turned on."

Hello

Check with HP, their drivers support and online documentation and ask in their forums on any
known issues. The camera and drivers are both HP's responsibility.

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

    Hello

    It looks like your Qosmio F750-03W PQF75C 03W001 is a Canadian model of Toshiba that I found it here:
    http://support.Toshiba.ca/support/ISG/Center/en/index.asp?S1=notebook&S2=Qosmio&S3=F750&S4=PQF75C-03W001

    First you need to update the BIOS with the latest version (at this time, it seems that BIOS 2.0 is the most recent).
    Also update the
    nVidia Display Driver version 8.17.12.9039
    Super-D IC Driver version 1.0.1613.809
    Toshiba Blu - ray Disc Player version 1.0.1.299
    as mentioned here http://support.toshiba.ca/support/isg/tsb/en/view.asp?docid=TSB001633

    If stereo 3D effects are not well use X-tune to calibrate it.
    It is recommended to use this utility to optimize the 3D stereo effects when you use the 3D without glasses for the first time or to be dissatisfied by the 3D effects.

    To use the X-Tune utility, follow the steps below:
    1. Select the language mode and optimization, and then click OK. There are three optimization modes: primary, advanced and professional. You can choose according to your own experience.
    2 sitting about 60 cm from your computer, click Start to continue.
    3. follow the onscreen instructions on each step.
    4. use the left or right side of the keyboard arrow key to adjust the effect. When you are satisfied with the effect, click on enter and then an information window appears on the screen. Press the keyboard ESC key to cancel the optimization procedure.
    5. click on Finish to close the X-Tune utility.

    You said that your face recognition does not work correctly so uninstall this software. This also with the software/driver for webcam. Once these two tools has been uninstalled, clean the registry with CCleaner and install these two tools using the most recent version.
    Restart and start X-Tune to calibrate the 3D effects.

    In the doc of Toshiba (link above), you can find this notice:

    1. the value [screen resolution] 1920 x 1080. Glasses free 3D mode is not activated except in mode 1920 x 1080.

    2. depending on the game, it does not work with glasses free 3D mode and with the 2D mode.

  • HP Omni 10 Webcam does not

    Hello

    I have a HP Omni 10 with Windows 8.1.  Recently, I discovered that my webcam does not work.  Whenever I press the camera application on the start menu, it gives me the message "to start, connect a camera."  I read a few solutions to go to Device Manager and uninstall and then reinstall the device, but I can't find the webcam in the Device Manager either.

    So I guess it has been uninstalled some how.  If this is the case, can someone please tell me how to reinstall, or if it is a totally different question?  Thank you!

    @KCPat - there are several possible reasons for the application of your Omni to camera does not, so perhaps more time than just 'fixing' to find the exact cause. On my own Omni (with devices of work) there's no driver with 'Caméra' in its name. However, when you scroll through the list of drivers, you may identify one or more marked as disabled. The list is presented initially with categories is collapsed, then look inside any category showing a minus sign (-) rather than a Plus (+) next to it. The task manager can also reveal some startup items that may be present but disabled.  Whenever you disable or re-enable the drivers or startup items, reboot your Tablet subsequently to ensure that Windows recognizes the change - even if you're not be prompted to restart via a pop - up.

    There are a lot of dependencies between the Windows operating system components, if precisely identify all tasks activated by individual components of Windows is "above the pay grade" for most of us - including the advisors 'useful' mucking-comments under the hood in a session remotely.  Keep a detailed list of all changes made to the settings the device or start during troubleshooting, so that you can restore them to their original state, later.

    If you get this far without getting your app camera work, the next likely step can be to choose the recovery options. The fastest option "Refresh" does not change your data, but still will require you to re - install extra software from 3rd - party that has not provided by HP or Microsoft. However, before proceeding with recovery options, I encourage you to check with HP technical support 1 & and/or update this thread with all the additional measures taken and your results...

    Good luck!
