  • Resolution of the webcam problems

    Hi all

    I finally decided me coming here on a resolution of the webcam problem: since Skype updates that followed the 6.2 version, I can't simply a resolution on my bodily proportions. In other words, I think that Skype automatically assigns to a resolution of 1280 x 720, which makes my head like a balloon look hot air (not really convenient for job interviews, I must say). And Skype seem not to care about changes in resolution, as I do in the file "config.xml". Any idea to solve this problem? I really want to be myself again.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi guys, we have made some changes to fix the problem with the BisonCam, NB Pro cameras. Can you please restart your last client Skype for Windows Desktop (6.11) and see if now BisonCam Nb Pro works? Thanks in advance

  • Integrated with HP Pavilion dv9715nr notebook PC webcam problem

    Hello everyone,

    I hope someone can help point me in the direction of a fix of webcam for the problem that my laptop has developed. I spent the last few days browsing the internet looking for a solution to what seems to be a widespread problem, but with no satisfactory solution.

    The problem:

    A few days ago my integrated webcam works with Youcam and other applications of webcam with the message 'not found webcam' or 'Please turn on integrated webcam. Dutifully, I went to the device manage and felt that there was no imaging device listed.

    Related problems:

    In addition to this problem, I sometimes get an installation of an unknown USB device. This device is, I'm sure that the webcam, but try as I might I cannot point to the drivers of webcam or update its driver to something other than the best driver that is already.

    What I've tried so far:

    -Reinstall the drivers from the HP website. None of the many different types of pilot managed to bring the webcam life or showing in imaging devices.

    -Follow-up guide HP for the problems of webcam that ends up pushing me towards contacting HP help desk. Which, I imagine, will cost you a lot more money than the I have no money.

    -Uninstall all usb devices and reinstall using scan for the hardware changes. This has, once or twice, brought back the web cam and imaging device and worked for a while. However, before I can update its drivers computer freezes and turns itself off.

    -Flashed the bios. No change.

    -Downloaded the drivers from various other cam as suggested in the huge amount of bugs, there are online for this problem. Unfortunately, none of them worked.

    -Recovery plant recovery drive. The webcam is still missing in the imagery of the Device Manager section.

    Technical specifications:

    HP Pavilion dv9715nr notebook PC

    Vista 32 bit premium - service Pack2

    AMD Turion Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz Dual Processor

    1.94 GB OF RAM

    BIOS F.33, 3.09 M

    Webcam integrated into the lid of the laptop.

    Demand:

    If I understand the large amount of online discussion on what is a common problem and I hope that, among the pages and pages of bugs I looked, I missed a fix somewhere.

    If you have had and solved the problem, or if you have an idea how to sort it out, I'd love to hear from you.

    Hello again,

    First of all, let me thank the support forum HP for all their advice and now down to business.

    After a week of problems webcam and extensive research on the internet for a fix for the problem that I finally managed to get my webcam - however, I'm not sure how I did it.

    Below is a step by step guide.

    Now, I know that's not exactly the most empirical of bugs, however, it worked for me. From what I remember last night, the key points seem to be the following. If I insist I was very drunk and I tried almost every difficulty in the two websites above. (The bullet points below are not related)

    • Installation of a very old version of Quickplay.
    • Install the drivers from the DPinstall32.exe.
    • Get a webcam driver update Ricoh are displayed in windows update.
    • Go to Panel configuration/program and using change to the webcam repair and modification.
    • Play with the Services Windows Image acquisition.

    There was, no doubt, many other things I've done and, quite frankly, I am surprised that I did not kill my laptop I did most of them at the same time. However, the webcam is back and running so I recommend drunken stupidity and perseverance as key elements of this fix.

    Finally, somewhere in the two threads I linked will be your fix. There are a lot of different patches so keep and you can do with one of them.

    Good luck. Mines a pint of the black stuff.

    Normally there will be a software provided by the manufacturer of the laptop computer or the manufacturer of the webcam to take pictures on the computer.

    You can see the laptop manual to check if the computer manufacturer has provided a software for visualization of the webcam on your computer and check if you have the option in the software to capture the image of the webcam on your laptop.

    Hi Tom,

    A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network. The firewall blocks the information or allows information to pass to your computer. If the information is blocked or passed through depends on your firewall settings. A firewall can prevent malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers. Windows XP, Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3 includes firewall software.

    Perform the steps from the link below and see if it helps.

  • I am trying to install a new printer, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

    I am trying to install a new printer, and to do that I know I have to disable firewall settings. I try, but I get "due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings? Can anyone help?

    I tried to go into Windows and change the settings of the firewall, but I get the same message.

    I also tried to run an update of the Windows security updates, but same message.

    I use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3

    Any help would be greatly appreciated?

    Thank you

    HI Maria/Winston.Not, trying to be coy but. I've never had close the firewall to load anything. It will be, or at least should invite you to make a choice to leave the program to run or not? Nevertheless.If you have windows activation hurt you firewall can reactivate manually without going through the bugs that you can not. If you click Start and choose the runtime application. Type cmd, and then press ENTER. When the command prompt box appears type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes. He'll say firewall reactivated and ask for a reboot. Restart the computer and it will be active again. Just trying to help.

    Hi Winston/Hewlit,

    Thank you both for your advice.
    While waiting for your answers, I pushed all sorts of buttons and downloaded all kinds of programs in the hope that I could break the firewall (Hewlit the printer I tried to install says to disable the firewall to install the printer, and then turn it back on?).
    After a reboot, the message 'corrupt windows\system32 etc' file came and asked me to put in the original disc of Windows XP, I did not.
    Cut a long story short, I have now booked for a technician to come out as I'm totally lost.
    Thanks again for your help,
    M
  • "Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" on Windows XP

    Operating system: XP w/SP3. MS Security Essentials installed.  Problem: Cannot enable or disable the Windows Firewall; When you try to do, following statement appears; "Due to an unidentified problem Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.l

    I've seen this before when I try to make appear the firewall configuration panel before that my computer has started completely.  Wait a few minutes and try again has always worked for me...   But in this sense, it is possible that a piece of the network process which depends on the firewall is not started on your system.  Try to examine your system and Application logs:
    (Start-> Run-> "eventvwr.msc") or
    Start-> programs-> administration-> event viewer tools
    and look for errors in the process that may not have begun.
