Webcam not no projection in devices and printers?

I'm 68, not all that up on laptops and systems, but recently bought a laptop Sony Vaio (SVE1512M1EW) with built in webcam, installed system was Win 8.1 I found that I could not come up with...

I bought Windows 7 and with a new larger hard drive, installed instead. All updates, ready to go.

I checked in the Device Manager to see all the drivers have been installed, and there is no lack.

As it was a new install I had to install Skyp and configure my account again, what I've done and my webcam worked fine.

So I was very surprised when I went into 'Devices and printers' to find the webcam missing?

I checked the Device Manager again and it shows as being installed, and it works with Skyp, then why is he not in devices?

Unless I am on Skyp I'm unable to use it.

I tried to run "Convenience store" no problems detected. I also ran the addition of new material, just in case, but no use.

Need someone with a lot more experience that I have to solve this one.

I would be grateful if someone could find the answer to this riddle.

  • Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

    I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

    It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

  • Printer does not appear in "devices and printers".

    I recently "upgraded" to Windows 8, after that my laptop was stolen and have spent hours trying to restore comparable to my new functionality.

    My workhorse printer, I've used extensively with Windows 7, is a EPSON Artisan 1430

    I have correctly installed by download on the new computer and print a test page, but the printer does not appear in the devices and printers folder, so I can't use it.

    It is listed in the Device Manager folder, under the Print Queue, but of course, it is not usable there. Who does nothing but confirm that it is installed.

    My devices folder and shows the default two printers printers I don't have not and CUTE PDF, which I installed it without problems.

  • In devices and printers, I have an icon for a laptop with a yellow exclamation point. I have a desktop computer and remove this icon of the laptop.

    A laptop once was connected to my desktop via USB cable PC; It belonged to me.  The owner wants to access its database of the company, but in vain.

    Now, in devices and printers, I have a laptop icon that is not one of my devices, but the Device Manager lists in "Other devices" with a (USB) universal serial bus controller, which is also included in the icon of the computer laptop properties under the material.  The yellow exclamation point is for troubleshooting.  The problem is: I do not own a laptop device.

    I want to remove the icon of the laptop and its inscriptions, including the (USB) universal serial bus controller.  Both are marked by a yellow exclamation point, but, of course, they do not work because they do not exist.  But this icon of the laptop has name my PC on it.

    My desktop PC should not be listed in devices and printers, does it?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620 appearing does not in devices and printers

    Short computer news:

    Computer 1 - ENVY HP dv7 running 64-bit Windows to 8.1

    Computer 2 - Dell XPS 12 running 64-bit Windows 8

    I recently bought a new 8620 Pro of Officejet and currently am having problems actually use it.

    I have already installed the driver for long from the HP website, but the printer does not appear in devices and printers. Not only, I'm unable to send print jobs to the printer from my computer.

    However, the thing that is most troublesome is the appearance of the printer in places such as Device Manager and the print dialog box. I would like to remind that even using the print dialog box or print through any application (E.g. Microsoft Word) in fact the print job never crosses.

    I already reinstalled the driver several times only to get virtually identical results. This problem only seems to occur on my computer main use who WANT a HP dv7.

    I have however a second computer is a Dell XPS 14 where I can use the printer very well.

    With the results of the SFC is not not a complete success and the issue be isolated to this computer, I think that it is time to perform a Refresh of the Windows 8 operating system.

  • No printer not appearing in devices and printers in Windows 7

    This is quite disconcerting, and after a thorough search, I can't find an answer to work.

    Basically, I installed a printer on my machine here Win7Pro.  The printer can be printed from various applications.  However, the printer does NOT appear under devices and printers.  The printer appears under print management.

    The printer is an Epson color Stylus 2200 connected via USB.  The computer is a Dell D620 Laptop.  Win7 has been properly installed - no upgrade.  The printer is visible (for example) of Corel Paint Shop Pro X 2.

    Anyone has any ideas what setting I need to enable the visibility of printer under devices and printers?  Is there something other wrong here?  It's easily fixable?

    UPDATE: I just added a shared printer (connected to a WinXP machine brother 7040) networking for this laptop Win7 and it isn't too visible under devices and printers.  However, what is different here is that this printer is also not visible under the management of printing.

    Network connections are not in print management.  They should appear in printers and devices IS very disconcerting.  Normally, this will occur if the print spooler service is not running, but then your local machine would be displayed with a red indicator in printing management.

    I guess that you have a standard USB and not a parallel converter cable USB cable.

    Check the security settings for the properties of the printer.  Make sure that your user account is listed at least print access.  Devices and printers opens with the standard user security token.
