HP HD Webcam 3100 not working in Windows 8

I have a HP HD Webcam 3100, the webcam works through the application that came with it, but whenever I try to use the webcam on YouTube or Omegle it never picks up the camera. The application is up and running when I try this and that doesn't work, I've even cut the app off and the camera still doesn't work. I run Windows 8 and think it may be time for a new webcam if this one isn't going to work with it.

You need to download a driver for it, which can be found on the HP webpage I linked below. 
HP HD 3100 Driver
You will have to install the Windows 7 driver, either 32 or 64 bit to match your Windows 8 OS. It's fine to do this and usually works - I have lots of older peripherals running on Win 7 drivers on a Windows 8 PC.

  • Satellite L755 - Webcam is not working - interactive window station

    Dear Toshiba Community,
    I have a Toshiba L755 series. I was able to use the built-in webcam with Skype. while running skype recently, i was surprised to see that the camera couldn't be found.
    I went to Device Manager to see what the problem could be, and there i couldn't see any "Imaging devices", as if the camera hardware didn't originally exist.
    I tried then scanning for hardware changes. A new hardware was found, but while try to install the driver, I get a message saying that:
    +Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.+
    +Windows found the driver software for your device but encountered and error while attempting to install it.+
    +This operation requires an interactive window station.+
    Note that the Device is being recognized as: TOSHIBA Web Camera MP.
    I tried to search online for this driver but couldnt find any.
    I also tried to download and install the Driver from Toshiba support, but again, still not working.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    > Note that the driver i downloaded is listed for a x64 windows platform while my latop has a windows 32 version. I couldn't find a driver for win 32.
    This might be the reason why you cannot get this working on your system.
    You will need the 32bit version.
    I found a webcam driver for Win 7 3bit for a Satellite L675 series.

  • Video Blaster WebCam Go Not Working in Windows XP!!

    For some reason, when I try to install my Video Blaster WebCam Go to my Dell Latitude 50 Laptop, it says that the driver isn't digitally signed. At first I hit ignore, and then I did it again and hit continue. It installed partially and then I got "The Blue Screen of Death" message. After that I downloaded the latest drivers (v.22) from the downloads section. It did the same thing.
    -Any Ideas How I Can resolve This?

  • Microsof VX 3000 or 6000 Webcam does not work with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    The problem is that i cannot use the Microsoft VX-3000 or VX-6000 with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1.
    If i go in settings under Video i can see the preview from the webcam just fine, so it works there no problem.
    Wenn i try to enable my camera in a conference it does not work, i get an error: Your video cannot be started.
    Now, there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for the Webcam so i installed the latest Windows 7 drivers. Because of that this webcam does not work with apps, that is fine i understand the driver problem and the way the new apps work.
    But this Webcam works with skype under Windows 8.1 and it works with Lync 2010 client.
    The same Webcam works just fine with Lync 2013 under Windows 7.
    Is there anything i could do so that i get this Webcam to work with Lync 2013 desktop client under Windows 8.1?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, it may be caused by driver.
    You can try to install the latest version of Display Driver to fix the display issue.
    Since there is no driver for Windows 8.1, I suggest you wait for updating.
    You can also post a case on Windows 8 forum, thank you for your understanding:

  • Sony Viao inbuilt webcam not working after Windows 10 update

    Hi thereJust updated to Windows 10 and now my inbuilt webcam is not working. Skype can't even recognise it.Under device manager it says there is a USB device with an error, but it doesn't say what it is. Disabling, uninstalling and restarting, and updating drivers do not work.I had windows 8 and 8.1 prior to this and the webcam worked fine. Please helpThanks in advanceMark

     
    Hi mtaylor748, 
    Thank you for considering Sony Community! 
    Most probably the issue is with the Windows 10 driver since you mentioned the unit works with Windows 8 and 8.1. Unfortunately, we do not have the updated drivers for Windows 10 yet. Sony is still validating the updates from certain vendors and testing Vaio computers. You may check the announcement from Sony USA: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl? I'm note quite sure about the process in other country but feel free to contact Sony support in your location. 
    For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
    Hope this helps. 
    Best regards,

  • Lenovo T430 - VMware Player - Windows 7 - webcam is not working

    Hi,
    I have Windows7 and VMware PLayer.
    Webcam is working fine on my Host - it is recognized as ThinkVantage Virtual Camera.
    On WMware player webcam is not recognized.
    I have tried such drivers on VMware player:
    g1c814ww.exe  -  installed - but webcam is not working
    grcu07ww.exe - error message on vmware: Not Supported
    Saying honestly I need such driver (make a copy from my host): ThinkVantage Virtual camera
    But I need *.INF files. Unfortunately on my Host system I have found only *.SYS files for these driver.
    Does anybody know how to enable Integrated camera on WMware player?
    Regards
    Pawel

    Hi Manish,
    I've done this several times with Win 7 Pro.  IIRC the procedure is to not try to activate during installation.  Run the full install without a key.  Reboot and attempt to activate.  If that fails there should be a link or phone number offered that you can call for phone activation.
    Here in the US anyway the calling the number gets you an automated activation process.

  • Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

    Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
    About a year ago I purchased a laptop
    TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
    with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
    For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
    As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
    I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
    the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
    Gan you help me?
    Graziee

    Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
    At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
    Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat

    =USB webcam microphone not working with Starcraft 2 voice chat?Windows 7, X-fi Fatalty Pro
    I have a webcam with ?a built in microphone (Ps3 eye). ?It is connected by USB. ?The drivers are the CL-Eye drivers; a third party driver set since Sony does not directly support the eye for PC.
    in the windows audio device management, the microphone appears as normal and is set as the default device. ?I can use the windows sound recorder to record me speaking just fine. ?However if I use any other applications it doesn't seem to work at all. ?I can select the device as the default recording device in Starcraft 2 as well as Teamspeak 3 but no sound is detected. ?The USB microphone does not show up as a selectable device in recording options in my Creative Control Panel. ?Disabling the default creative microphone does nothing.
    I think the problem is in that windows can directly detect the microphone and so software that uses the windows audio device manager works fine, but anything that talks directly with my sound card software does not properly detect the microphone. ?Basically, I can select the device as a default device but it does not work.
    Any thoughts on this or am I SOL and have to find myself a shiny new headset?

    I had the same problem. You need to check the device index of your USB mic.
    In my case. I'm on a Mac OSX 10.6 system. I had four devices cataloged. With the last one being the USB mic.
    Then set like so in your AS code audioPub.microphoneManager.micIndex = 3;
    Remember, that the indexing is 0 based.
    The sound framework make the assumption that the index is 0.
    Hope that helps.

  • Microphone not working since Windows 7 clean install: Satellite P505-S8980

    Ever since I reinstalled Windows 7 on my Satellite P505-S8980 laptop the microphone with the webcam has not worked.  Has anyone else experienced this and resolved it?  I am unable to chat with friends and family through Google hangouts, which is a little disappointing.
    I've unsinstalled and reinstalled the drivers, checked all settings, tried to find updated drivers, etc., but with no luck.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Possibly helpful info:
    Model P505-S8980
    No modifications to hardware (original hard drive, etc.)
    Running Windows 7 64 bit.  Clean install, NOT from Toshiba restore disk or similar utility.

    Satellite P505-S8980
    The order of installing drivers is problematic. Best to restore the hard disk to the original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
    For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 71 of the User's Guide.

  • My webcam is not working on skype or facetime, it says cannot find.

    Can someone help me figure out why my webcam is not working or able to be discovered when im using skype or facetime or at all since i downloaded Lion?

    I'm never really a nick-picker about internet writing, but I couldn't even understand what you said until the third time I read it through.
    Anyways, back to the subject. It may be because a lot of those websites are designed for Windows computers, and do not accept the Mac OS, just like how certain MSN Messengers designed for Apple cannot communicate with Windows computers through webcam, but can with other Apple computers.

    Hi Sir,
    I am trying to export Crystal Report to HTML format using VB.NET code. Functionality is working fine at Windows XP Environment (Save to Disk, Open an Application and Email Attachment). But the same functionality is not working at Windows 7 Environment (both 32-Bit as well as 64-Bit).

    It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
    EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).
