Whenever I click on my camera it will say cannot use it another application uses the camera

Separated from this thread.

Hello, hope you can help me question w / this. Whenever I click on my camera it will say: he can't use another application is the use of the camera, do not know what to close.hope app you can save your time to help me.

Hi Jesus Mahjoub,

  1. What is the brand and the serial number and model of the computer?

  2. Problems with the use of the built-in webcam?

  3. What is the exact full error message?

If you have the camera connected, then I suggest disconnect you the device picture and then try to open the camera app restart the computer twice and check if it helps. This could be due to lack of drivers or camera app problem. I suggest that you install the latest Windows updates including the optional updates and check if it makes a difference. You can check this link to learn more about the Windows updates: Windows Update: frequently asked questions.

Also try to run the Troubleshooter of Apps. This tool can automatically identify and fix problems with applications and store.

Let us know if these measures made a difference in camera application performance.

  • Windows XPS computer laptop who don't return of touchscreen will switch to use the keyboard as a normal laptop.

    I have a laptop XPS windows on Windows 8 with a touch screen, I have two problems.

    The first problem is that I can't understand how to go back to using the touchpad and mouse on the surface of my laptop to use the touchscreen, making it more difficult to navigate in my laptop I can not directly click etc.

    The second problem is that when I flip my round screen to use the laptop as a Tablet, I can't get it to produce a portrait view and not a landscape that is bad for watching movies and annoying when browsing websites.

    Help to one or two questions would be appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly, you want to return to use touchpad and mouse and also have problems with the display as well.

    This issue may have caused due to recent changes to your laptop.

    I need some information to move forward.

    1. What is the model of your laptop?
    2. Have you tried the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem?

    I suggest you to install the latest drivers for the touchpad and display adapters.

    Check the following link below.

  • Will not print using the HP Photosmart software

    Hi... since I upgraded to Windows 7 (hp) to Vista (hp) and downloaded all the updates I have two bad problems and that it is urgent advice please!

    1. When you use Hp Photosmart edition / printing software for pictures... workd all well until I told it to print and nothing happens. Then I get a message saying that the software does not respond?

    2. when I use Picasa photo editing for photos they print Ok but have a line through the middle of each picture?

    Hey Pete,.

    Thanks for the update.  I'm sorry to hear that you have been hospitalized and hope everything goes well!

    The line occurs only in photos, Picasa print?  Have you tried to print a picture from another location such as the Windows Photo Gallery?

    It is possible that this problem is caused by a problem between the Picasa and the drivers of the printer.  Try to use another driver like the Deskjet 990c or driver Deskjet 9800.  For more information on how to use another driver, please click here.

    Let me know if this helps remove the line in your photo prints,

  • Means of hard drive failure cannot use the recovery partition. Alas! recovery discs will not read!

    Hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and abandon me. I can't access the drive at all so decided to but a new and use the recovery at least discs bring the machine to its status as an out-of-box.

    That's the problem... It will not read the recovery disc. I know there is some stuff about it because I read in another machine. Until you tell me to change the DVD hardware... it reads very well all the other disks. I loaded Arcronis, as well as other system repair stuff, using the DVD Player/Recorder.

    I have a pukka Product Code for the software, Vista Home Basic. Can I get a Vista Home Basic disc and then use my key to sting?  I'm happy to pay a price, but do not want to buy at the price high. After all, I already paid for it once!

    Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Mr. Blue Screen.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • BlackBerry Smartphone camera settings: cannot use the slider to increase/decrease the proximity of the image

    Dear all

    I'm a newbie when it comes to using a BB. I was pretty happy with my BB 8520 Curve until recently. Yesterday while trying to click on a photo, I tried using the wheel to increase the proximity of the image & it didn't work & since then it has not worked. I thought that maybe there was a problem with my scroll button but NOOOOO...

    Works of scrolling around elsewhere. I don't know too much what setting needs to be changed. We have a festive season going on here in our city & I'm dying to take some pictures of almost, but I'm unable to increase proximity using the scroll key

    I hope I could explain my problem... Pls help...

    Kind regards

    Try this, with the POWER YOU delete waiting for battery a minute or two and then re - inserted and left entirely re - start. This should solve your problem.

  • Cannot use the NOR-IMAQdx with 3 USB camera driver

    I have a system WIN7 64-bit I would use with two USB 3 Vision cameras (both are 24UJ003 from The Imaging Source DFK), which works very well with the software IC software. The camera can be opened with IC software but will be visible only with a cadence of 1fps, any size I put it.

    I can open them able and Automation Explorer, but they do not appear under NOR-IMAQdx in the tree.  When I click on the software in MAX tree below, NOR-IMAQdx revealed as being installed (14.5). The camera (and OR) instructions say change the camera driver to that found in C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision, but my driver is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\NI - IMAQdx\Staging\NI USB3 Vision.

    Attempts to install the driver displays the following message is displayed:

    "The folder you specified contains a compatible software driver for your device.  If the folder contains a driver, make sure that it is designed to work with Windows for x 64 systems".

    This makes it sound like the driver is in the wrong place or it does not for a 64 bit OS.  Any advice on how to switch them TIS drivers to drivers OR-IMAQdx and also how increase the pace of the second camera would be very much appreciated.

    I tried to connect the cameras individually, and they both have the same performance as when they are connected together (we have good pace, and the other has only 1 fps).

    Are you sure that the camera is Vision compatible USB3? Nothing that I do not see in the marketing material says it is compatible. Is it possible you need a firmware update to make it compatible?

    The installer put IMAQdx driver in the space provided for an x 64 system and he always puts the number of correct bits of the driver down to the system that you have installed. My hunch is that the camera is not to expose a USB3 Vision interface for the driver to bind.

  • Track export levels will have to use the "ORIGINAL".

    Hello

    I run a recording studio.  We do not use logical, but do a lot of our customers.

    Without fail, when we get exported data from logic, each file is tiny, like a maximum 5% gain.  This reduces the resolution of the sounds seriously and we're stuck usually do a mixture of ingredients unnecessarily damaged, degraded.

    I don't understand why logic there even as a feature.  Maybe some amateur user once in a while might want to preserve the levels of tracks so that it can export and import in a session with all faders at unity gain, but it's a bad idea, if you care about the audio quality.  No professional users will intentionally degrade of files in this way.

    So I think that this "feature" should be scrapped, or at least out of the box, the default preference to export of each file to its initial, no fade-dependent volume.

    You would do your users a big favor, even if they don't understand why.  And believe me, when I explain this their eyes above glaze.

    Thank you

    DZ

    Oh, and without fail, files are stereo, which is also redundant and annoying for people to mix on a console, uses double the space and the transformation of resources, etc.  Please, I don't need blow stereo battery, etc.  This must be done brain dead easy for your users.
