• 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?

• Webcam - Skype says that the webcam is not working

  I tried Skype this morning and for some reason any, they told me that the Webcam was not working. Why would that happen? I have not had problems with this before that my computer is less than 4 months. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can use the camera without Skype? Have you rebooted to see if something was blocking
  access the camera?

  Troubleshoot camera connection
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problems

  You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
  with the drivers and installed at the same time).

  Login as an administrator.

  Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
  on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
  is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
  will update the driver stack.

  Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
  software (if not more recent get the same).

  Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

  Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.

  Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
  to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
  those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
  really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).

• 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.
