Webcam on HP 4520 s computer
I have a HP probook 4520 s computer, more than 2 years old. Windows 8 has been installed. There is a problem with the webcam. When I first turn on and click on the tile of the webcam, the picture on the screen is fine, IE that it occupies the entire screen. If I now go somewhere else and come back and ck on the tile of the webcam again, an image appears which occupies only the 1st quadrant of the screen [the top quarter of the screen] this happens every time. I can't imagine what it is,... neilmassey
Neil,
You must click the arrow or the peripheral before greater mark of Human Interface (if nothing does not appear, then select the imaging device in Device Manager) then right click on the driver which is shown below and click Uninstall.
Let us know if that makes a difference.

Built in webcam not found on the computer.
Hi, back for a while that I had to have it replaced my computer screen. After that it has been replaced, my webcam not working not. He said that there is no webcam. Before that the screen had to be replaced, it works beautifully. What could be the problem and how to fix this? Thank you for your help.
Hi Randalynf,
Please answer a few questions to refine the question.
1. What is the brand and model of the computer?
2. When you say "screen is replaced", hear you screen has replaced for a new one? What was the exact problem with the monitor?
3. what happens when you try to access with the Webcam software that came with the computer?
This problem normally occurs when there is no problem with the driver for the Webcam device software.
I suggest you follow the steps below to see if that helps.
Method 1:
Step 1: Find material webcam
Take a quick moment to visually inspect the top of the screen of your computer. Look closely, you should see a small lens at the top in the Center, if your computer is equipped with a webcam. Some models do not come with a webcam and the area where the webcam would normally be resident is replaced by a small plastic cap.
Often, there are small holes near the top center of your screen. These holes are for the microphone or other sensors and do not contain any webcam.- If your computer lacks a built-in webcam, you must use an external USB webcam.
- If your computer is equipped with a built-in webcam and you can't use it, go to step 2
Step 2: Find and use the Webcam software that came with your computer
Try to access the webcam that is preinstalled on your computer.
If you can't find and open the webcam for your computer software, then go to the next step.If you have found the software of the webcam and it opens and you see a picture, then finished. Your webcam works.If you found webcam software and it opens, but you can't see the video in the main display window, restart the computer and try again.If the problem persists, use the troubleshooting section "video does not appear in the webcam software.Method 2:
If you are able to find the Webcam on your screen and you cannot view the video using the software installed, you may need to update the Webcam drivers for more later.Read the sections "If you have problems with your webcam' in the article and check the results.»- Help app and webcams camera

Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera
Hello
I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.
Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?
The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.
Thank you
Hello
The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device
The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.
In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!
Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.Best regards

Driver webcam open fails - reboot or computer camera
I've upgraded Windows Vista by Windows 7 in my Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop. Drivers for webcam chicony installed automatically. The Device Manager shows webcam with the drivers installed and give message device works correctly. But when I start webcame message appears stating "driver Open Webcam fail. Please restart camera or computer. »
What can I do for this?
Unfortunately not much. Windows 7 is not yet on the market and not supported. Toshiba not offers tested drivers, tools and utilities for this OS.
By the way: If the software cam Wizard is not started, can you use cam in Skype.
I will test Windows 7 days and want to check the features of cam with Skype. -

Portege R700 - Webcam is either disabled or has not
Hello
When I clicked on Camera Assistant Software I get this error: "webcam is either disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings. »
can someone help me on this?
Thank you
SagarHi Sam,
Hmm probably it s just a driver failure. Have you tried reinstalling the driver for the webcam? You can download the latest version on the Web from Toshiba site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.comIn your case I would remove the current webcam software and restart the computer. Install the webcam software downloaded from the Toshiba page, and then restart your computer.
Can you confirm s works now?

Satellite A660 - webcam only shows a black image
Hey,.
I have a satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R running 64-bit windows 7.
No reason the webcam just stopped working. Whenever I y access either by the program of toshiba or others (such as Skype), I am facing a black image despite the blue camera power light is always on. The wecam application works fine and everything, it'll even take photos and videos even if he won't save them because it captures anything.I checked in the Manager of tasks, and despite me running on windows 7 64-bit, the program is displayed as ' TWebCamera.exe * 32 "leads me to believe that he is trying to run 32-bit...
I reinstalled the driver for the webcam 64-bit of the toshiba site _3 times_ yet I still have the same problem (Yes, I mean 3).It's really frustrating me and any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Luke.Hello
This s really strange behavior, mate
But I can only imagine this problem is driver-related and not a hardware problem then try this:
Remove the webcam driver and restart your computer, run CCleaner (freeware tool) to clean and fix registry problems and reboot once again. Then visit the official page of Toshiba and and download the new driver of the webcam for your model and the OS.Normally after the next reboot the webcam should start working with success.
Can you confirm this? :) -

So since when you bought it-the webcam never worked? If that were the case then you should have returned or a replacement when you discovered it? Now if it concerns the guarantee then you will have to pay for repair or find the part and replace the webcam yourself or have the computer shop to do.

Have you tried to reinstall the webcam app?
Do this! Firstly uninstall the webcam software. Restart the computer and reinstall the software of the webcam.You don't know where to find this software?
Well, you can find this package or on page pilot European Toshiba or the Australian Toshiba page.http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

I think that the new facility should help sortout this question.

Satellite A300-1FP - webcam Chicony Win 7 64 bit - driver open failed
Greetings
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1FP. I was surprised how well it went. The only thing missing was a Windows 7 for a Chicony Webcam driver. A number of people on these forums have suggested the use of 64 bit Vista driver. I tried several times to do this work. I deleted the entry of startup, deleted and resinstalled the driver from Device Manager, etc. Everything I found on these forums that I have tried.
None of this works. I keep getting the error message "failure of the Webcam driver open. Please restart camera or computer. »
Even with the 'camera' Wizard the Chicony camera is really terrible. A I know before I bought the machine, I would have chosen otherwise. Too late now. Without the wizard, you only have the driver supplied with Windows 7 that allows you to use the camera, but unless you have quality Hollywood light video is so dark it is almost unusable. The "camera assistant" had at least one dose of reminder for darker rooms.
I don't know why Toshiba never used this device in the first place.
There are a lot of people with this same exact problem seeking help in the forums for their system.If anyone knows how to handle this I'd appreciate it really your. Toshiba, if you listen, what were you thinking?

On Satellite A300-1MX webcam does not work properly
After my windows Vista system crashed 16 December 2011, I had made recovery.
After that, I have not found any driver for the webcam on the computer laptop everything. On the Toshiba support page, I finally found the 1.7 version, but this does not at all!He always appears: driver Webcam open fails, restart the computer or the camera. Since it's built in camera I tried with the restart of the computer, but which did not help at all. So I tried with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without success.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not help at all!
Someone has an idea?
Hello
Found an article in the knowledge base of Toshiba which describes this error and provides a solution to this problem.
+ Why displays the error message: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart the computer or the camera. » ? +
+ http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+But its related to Portege M600 and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that, set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the software of webcam once more.You should also check the Device Manager. Here in Device Manager that the webcam should be recognized as a USB device, if this isn't the case, then it means that the webcam was not recognized by the OS and that means there could be a hardware problem
As far as I know, the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lost, then the webcam is not recognized in Device Manager; or as a USB device or an unknown device.

Satellite A300-276 - webcam does not - locked by another application
Hi guys,.
My name is Mirella and I want to know one thing.
My webcam works well, but my computer was not.
Then my mother sent him to her friend (he is a computer technology).I don't know what he was doing, but my computer came back with the same things :/ And now my webcam kept good job. But after a few weeks my webcam stopped work :(
I don't know what happened.I uninstalled a few programs because maybe he can return to work, but does not work it. If I open the camera software that say "Locked by another application" but I don't have any strange program on my computer.
Please help me!
Thank you<>> I uninstalled a few programs because maybe he can return to work, but does not work it
Do you too uninstall webcam software?
Generally, this error appears if another software like Skype for example uses the webcam at the moment at the start of the webcam software.You must uninstall the webcam software in Control Panel-> software
Then you must also uninstall the driver for the webcam in Device Manager. The webcam should be listed under imaging devices.Reboot the laptop. Download the CCleaner and clean the registry and operating system using this tool. Reboot once more and install the webcam software once more.
Also make sure that other software like Skype does not work at the same time.
From my experience, this should help.

Satellite A200-J01: problems with Chicony webcam with Yahoo messenger and MSN
Dear friends
I just bought a Satellite A200-J01 with Windows Vista Edition Home Premium pre-installed on it. My problem is when I want to use my webcam (Chicony USB built-in 2.00) to have a video call with MSN and Yahoo messenger Internet, suddenly, it stops working and it shows a message that the webcam is not connected and no webcam was found on your computer.
And then when I log out Yahoo messenger, come out of her and run Camera Assistant Software it shows this message "Locked by another application" Although there is no other applications running.
The problem remains, unless I restart the computer. I read all the topics and messages as in my case in this site, but none of them helped me. I want to know if someone has encountered this problem, if this chicony webcam is compatible with yahoo and msn messenger and finally what I can do about it.
Hello
What about software chicory and the driver update?
Please check if the software most recent is available and has been released. If so, remove it the old an and after reboot the new install the most recent version of this software chicony.It seems that similar problems appear on laptops from different manufacturers that use the Chicony webcam.
Everything looks like the chicony Vista software is not 100% compatible with MSN, yahoo Messenger, Skype etc programs.
