Webcam on the Satellite MK3263GSX series problem

Just bought my netbook andmy webcam does not work 4 days ago, but the message said "the webcam is locked by another application" and I'm unable to use with, for example. Skype.
Anyone know what is happening?
Wud appreciate yr help. Thank you

Hello

I recommend you to disable the webcam software of automatic start during windows startup.
As that mentioned it in msconfig-> Startup tab.

Skype and other messengers don't need this software that runs in the background

  • Starting on the Satellite L series problems

    Hello :)

    I realize that my English is not good. I'm Polish.

    1. I have a strange problem with my Satellite. First of all; A few weeks ago that he was not able to start if it was left alone all night. I could turn on it and loading on a black screen for a few seconds with a small white line in the upper corner of the screen... then the display shows "ERROR of READING", what is this strange error? Well... If I tried to restart three or four times, it worked ok after rebooting. When I left the pc intact longer, the error occurred again.

    2. after that, I did the format of this partition. The problem appeared again. in fact, Windows started ok for each test, but the first time in the day, it was still very very long.

    3. I did a surface scan of the disk using HD Tune and other simillar programs. All the bricks were green, no bad sectors were found.

    4. today, I tried to do a format a few times (recovery console). Some of these tests failed because the laptop froze 100% right when the command line appeared (C:\)

    I hope someone can help me... I hope that I won't need to repair it under warranty.

    Hello lidia,

    Looks like the hard drive has an intermittent fault. "Read error" usually indicates a hardware failure of the disc.

    Say you that the unit is under warranty, so take it to a repair center. Repairs shouldn't cost anything.

    Have tried checking volumen and none controls mute buttons are slected. tested and it says ther no problem but still no sound. have uninstalled the driver and reinstalled - what else can I try?

    > have a portable satellite - not sure that we
    Roll on Notepad and check the label at the bottom of the unit. You will find the name of the laptop!

    > Speakers have stopped working on the Satellite a series
    Open the Device Manager and check if no yellow exclamation point appears. If you can see this yellow sigh perhaps the sound card driver is not installed correctly.

    In addition, please plug the headphones to your laptop and check if you can hear anything through the headphones.

  • Is it possible to use the port replicator with the Satellite Pro series?

    Hello
    Is it possible to use the port replicator (Docking Stations) for Tecra series laptop with the Satellite Pro series?

    Hello

    No, as far as I know it of not possible to use a port on laptops Satellite Pro Replicator.
    All laptops that support the Port Replicator has a port extension at the bottom of the unit.
    To my knowledge, the Satellite Pro series don t have this port.
    For now only the Tecra and some units Protégé(ie: S100) supports this feature.

    With regard to the question of the webcam.
    Well, I found several ad about the same problem with the internal webcam.
    That's why I really recommend looking in this forum to find answers.

    But I give you a hint; the message appears because of the locked webcam service.
    Just try to disable and enable the service that controls the webcam in the msconfig.

    Finally and above all the new installation of the webcam driver and software, you can download from the Toshiba page, could solve this problem!

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? Vista? What model of laptop is it?
    If Yes please install the SP1, because it contains a Microsoft patch that solves the problem of the webcam.
    I had a similar problem and the SP1 was the key.

    It is also recommended to remove the old driver/webcam software download a webcam driver from the European driver Toshiba page and reinstall.

    Several times, when I try to make it work, he said that there is a software blocking my webcam... And it just doesn't work... The thing is... I can't find any software using the webcam... He said not even what software blocks the camera...

    This happens with more people?

    Thank you

    Hi mate,

    a 'solution' would be to download the latest driver for the webcam of the [Download Drivers Toshiba site | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp] remove all driversoftware webcam and webcam in 'Device Manager '. Then reboot the machine and install the driver for the webcam.

    That should help, if not come back and give a few short comments on your situation.

  • Black screen and a text is vague on the Satellite L series

    Hello

    I searched through all the post in this section and I am also one of the many users who bought a Toshiba laptop computer that dosent work.
    It turns on and then gives a black screen with text to disk error very small text, almost not visible at all.

    I don't know what to do, have tried all these things normal, but to no avail.
    Annoyingly, I see a lot of people with the same problem that post discussions here.
    Nobody seemed to be able to view a solution, the only suggestion is to take it to a maintenance shop.

    Someone at - there a solution or is it just bad quality products in general?

    astapasta.

    Hello buddy

    Be a little realistic. The description of your problem is so bad that I do not understand your problem.
    You didn't write what model of laptop you have, you didn't write what you did with your laptop, you didn t write what text error is displayed. With short words: none of the useful information in your ad.

    As I see you have found only two people with similar problem although no one knows exactly what is your problem.

    So if you want to discuss here on this issue be so kind and explain exactly what is happening with your laptop. Another solution is to visit the nearest service. It is easier to understand the problem if the laptop is placed in front of you.

  • Problem installing BIOS update on the satellite U series

    Installation of Toshiba TEMPRO informed me there's an update of the BIOS (published April 7, 2010) must be installed.

    When I received this notification I downloaded the .zip file and extract its content - BIOS_UPDATE_V170.exe-, but the execution of this file, I got a popup error saying < file "c:\". ' is not accessible >. I decided there must be a bug in the installer that will be corrected in time, so I have nothing and waited.

    Today, I received another notice that the BIOS update was available, but even once, I get the same error. My c:\ folder seems OK!
    The BIOS file is in C:\TOSHIBA\ARSENAL10_10G_BIOS_UPDATE_V170_WIN where I extracted to (having initially tried to run my downloads folder, I thought I'd try also, but it seems to make no difference).

    Can anyone offer any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    If not, how can I get advice from Toshiba?

    See you soon
