In-built webcam fail on Satellite P200

Hey guys, need help with this!
I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 and when I try the webcam, a pop up comes saying that the webcam driver has failed! I want to talk on Skype, so how do I solve this problem?
Thanks!

Can you please tell us more about your notebook?
Which operating system do you use?
Does cam work with original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook (Vista 32bit)?

Satellite P200-1B6: Sound Driver update fails and HD-DVD Player doesn't work

I have just bought a Satellite P200-1B6 laptop and spent the day installing the updates recommended by the TEMPO program. One of these was a Sound Driver update from RealTek but on running this it fails about 80% of the way through with an error: 'Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!'.
Now the Toshiba HD DVD player fails to start with an error 'Unable to output the video to an external device.
Please switch your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after ending the application'. I've tried this but it seems to have no effect.
I'm now regretting starting to update the installed drivers. Should I try to rebuild the machine using the recovery discs or is there another solution that someone has found? Or have others found the upgrade works?
Any advice welcome

Last month I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player).
But after this update, I was no longer be able to read my HD-DVDs
Error message was: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
The problem was much of the update Realtek R1.76 (Realtek Sound Driver - 6.0.1.547 - 20/11/07) currently proposed on the site toshiba.
Indeed, the P200-1DE is equipped with Realtek ALC268 Audio Codec.
The latest update of this codec is R1.89. I downloaded from the site Realtek and it has allowed me to solve the problem.

I have no problem since that last update

Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) - Fingerprint and webcam don't work on Windows 7

I am using a Satellite P200 (PSPBGA) and have upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
However the Toshiba Fingerprint Utility and Chicony Web Camera Assistant Software both don't work. I have checked and there are no new updates on the Australian website.
Can you please help me out with these two issues?

Hi Boarder
Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried the Vista drivers and the US Toshiba page, unfortunatley neither work.
I went to the Upek website for the bio finger print software which is two fold over the latest version supported by Toshiba for Vista. I'll wait to see if Toshiba bring out a version for Win7 as the one I downloaded is limited, otherwise I am happy to pay approx $15 for the full version.
I really need the webcam to function though. I think the driver is ok, just need the sofware to run the inbuilt camera.
Cheers

Satellite L350-277 - Webcam failing to initialize

I am still having a problem with my webcam on the above laptop. It did work when I first bought the laptop, but for some reason it is now failing to initialize.
I have posted before and was advised to download drivers.
I have done this but it still wont work.
Anyone got anymore suggestions or do I have to take laptop back to shop?

Hi
Khalid....... when I first had the laptop in January the webcam worked. Now when I login I have a popup that says webcam failed to initialize please restart the programme? I can't find the programme. My husband who is really good with computers has looked and even he cant find how to fix this. I did restore my laptop back to factory settings as someone else suggested to me and it still doesn't work. I have gone to Toshiba website and downloaded drivers etc, still getting same message, therefore I am not getting anything at all!
Akuma....when I first had laptop the webcam worked with Windows Live Messenger. I don't have Yahoo Messenger and I did use Skype for a while but since restoring laptop back to factory settings have not downloaded it.
I bought the laptop with Windows 7 installed. All the programmes you asked if I have that might clash are in my list of programmes as what Windows 7 recommend.

Satellite A350-20Q - WEBCAM FAILED or is DISABLED

Can anyone help me to get my webcam back?
Went on one of those geek websites which tells you how to make your computer run faster, by disabling things youre not using. Cant remember what I've done but webcam doesnt work anymore. Tried reinstalling Drivers and rebooting Camera Assist Software but the same message comes up every time - "WEBCAM FAILED or is DISABLED".
Would appreciate any help or advice before I have to pay the local computer shop to sort it out.

Somehow the operating system cannot detect the cam.
What you can try is to test it with factory settings. If the same will happen again I presume it is hardware related issue. Webcam can be defective or it is not connected properly to the mainboard.

Does Satellite P200-1EE has BT built-in?

This is going to sound like a really stupid question ( coming from someone who used to work in the I.T. industry ) ....
I have seen a lot of mention about '*Bluetooth*' functionality, but *how do i know for certain if my 'lappy' has it*, _*or*_ better still *if it has ever been setup* for it
( I have a *Satellite P200-1EE* - if that makes any difference ) ??

im in I.T is well. unfortunately on the box it shows the blutooth sign... it doesnt have bluetooth capabilities. if you need bluetooth you can get attachable usb sticks which come with the software required to make your computer bluetooth accessable. good luck.

Satellite P200 - Microphone has stopped working after Windows 7 install

My Satellite P200 came with Vista Ultimate, the mic worked for a few months suddenly it stopped. I decided to install Windows 7, but mic still does not work.
Any ideas anyone?
I use this laptop to skpe my folks a lot. I can use an external mic fine, but really want my inbuilt one working again.

Hi buddy,
Sounds like its something wrong with your Windows 7 installation if the microphone doesnt work anymore...
I would recommend updating the webcam driver because the microphone is a part of it. You can find driver updates here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
I dont know what Satellite P200 you have exactly but if you cant find a Windows 7 driver for webcam, choose another model that is fully Windows 7 supported, e. g. Satellite P300.

Re: Not responding Satellite P200

We have a Toshiba Satellite P200 laptop. Last time we used it, the computer shut down as normal. But when we tried to turn it on the next day it wouldn't do anything.
The blue power cable light is lit, but nothing else, and it won't respond.
Please help.

I also have a Satellite P200d. Same thing has happened after approx 1 month use. Removing battery and replacing allows computer to boot up but during boot get message that a fault has been found which will be repaired. That happens and laptop boots up ok - error log show video hardware fault. Next time I close down and then try to reboot the same happens again. In addition, during month use I have had a blank screen which recovers with the message that driver atikmdag has failed and has successfully recovered. This happens 2 or 3 times each time I use the laptop. Any suggestions will be welcome. Otherwise its a good bit of kit.

Question about upgrading a graphics card of Satellite P200-13z

Can i upgrade the graphics card on my Satellite P200-13z? What are my various options and the corresponding prices?
I only have built in onboard intel 3D accelerator card.

Hi
Such questions were posted many times here in the Toshiba forum and there is only one answer;
Its not possible to upgrade the graphic card on any notebooks!!!!!
The GPU is mostly soldered and fixed on the motherboard and its impossible to remove it!!!
You ask for various options? Well I read about external graphic cards for notebooks but in my opinion this is not a real option and dont think the performance of such graphic card would be much better as your internal graphic card in the P200 notebook

New Driver Alert 22 May 2008 - Satellite P200-1FC

A TEMPO alert asked me to download vap-20080109135106.zip but when run it I get no further than an error message RegDBGetItem failed (1). Looking in the download I see nothing newer than year 2007. Should I just ignore this 'update'? .....and, yes, I ran the correct button version.

Hello
If you want to install latest version 1.1.7 the preinstalled one must be removed at first. I have installed this version on my Satellite P200D and flash cards are shown much faster than before (old VAP version).
Because of that I recommend you to remove preinstalled version and install version 1.1.7. I have checked Toshiba download page and this version is listed for your Satellite P200-1FC (PSPB6E).
Bye and good luck!

HDD and memory upgrade on Satellite P200-17C

Hi there
I own Satellite P200 17c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2gb. I would like to upgrade it to DDR2 PC2-6400 4gb ram. Can i do that and is there going to be some improvement of the speed if I upgrade to PC2-6400 instead PC2-5300?
On my P200 17c I have 2 HDDs. 2x100gb. I would like to upgrade one of those two HD from 100gb to 320gb 5400 rpm. Can i do that? and is it going to be some difference if I upgrade with HD that has 7200 rpm?
Thank you

First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum RAM capacity of 4GB but please be aware that you wont be able to use the full 4GB due to some chipset limitations which are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
Regarding the module speed: the chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not enhance your speed when installing faster modules.
If you would like to upgrade your harddisk then just do it like you want, because there shouldnt be any limitations, you can install a drive with 7200rpm together with a slower one.
The only difference will be that the faster drive will be faster. The whole system performance would only raise when youre installing your OS on the faster drive (which is recommendation from my side :) )

Satellite P200-17C: graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish

Hi all
I've just bought a Satellite P200-17c.
I've set up my dual boot with Vista and XP (that was REALLLLY hard) everything seems to be almost OK, but..... The graphics in XP seems to be running a bit sluggish, when you scroll a window in a browser it seems to 'refresh' in blocks - it's not moving right. If I go to device manager under other devices there are two things for which there is no driver install, one says: VGA controller, the other says: unknown device!
It's true that I haven't istalled the ATI drivers yet.... But that's because the only place I can find to get them for XP is from the Toshiba support area, the file is 162MB (not that big) but it is downloading at such a slow pace even though I have a fast connection, I don't even know if it will work?!
I've tried some things from the ATI site directly, althought I was trying to install the drivers for the ATI HD2400 graphics card that the machine has, on installation it said it couldn't continue as there wasn't any compatable hardware connected.....
My download from the Toshiba area has already gone wrong once, meaning I have to re-start it.
Does any one have any light they can shine on this issue. If any one has the driver downloaded already and fancies sticking on mega upload or something, that'll be fun???!!!!!
Ideas suggestion welcome!

Hi
I was very curious about driver offered on Toshiba support page. You are right about file. It is about 160 MB and I have needed 20 minutes for download but download was successfully and I do not see any problem that you can not do the same.
Extract the file and just use setup.exe to start driver installation.

After some upgrades on my Satellite P200 cannot use HD-DVD Player

Since I upgraded my PC Satellite P200 (BIOS, Driver ATI HD2600, Package VAP and HD-DVD Player), I can no longer read my HD-DVDs
Error message is: "Unable to send the video to an external device. Please turn off the display device."
I had no problem before the upgrades.
I have no problem with my DVD player on medias.
What happens?
My drive is a HDDVD SD-L802B.

I installed on my PC (P200-1DE / PSPB6E / OS Vista) proposed TEMPO software.
This software referred me to the site Toshiba and proposed several updates to:
- The BIOS (2008)
- HD2600 Drivers ATI card (2008)
- HD DVD Player
- VAP Package
At this time, I try to find the references on the site, but I am surprised ; they are no longer in the "Downloads & Drivers BIOS site TOSHIBA
I downloaded the drivers on my PC.
I can give you the exact references tonight (I write on another PC).
Were there any problems in the proposed updates on the period of November 2007 to the end of February 2008 ...
Besides, the problem of reading the HD DVD, I have not noticed any major problems except perhaps:
- I start a bit slower (It seems to me that this is the connection to the Internet via WiFi, which slowed the start)
- an error when burning a CD
- a problem of installing software as the DVD no longer wanted to stop rotating; I had to stop and to do again PC installation
Do I go back? ...
I made a Ghost of my machine before these updates, but if it is a problem of BIOS, I think I will not be able to do

Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys don't work after downgrade to XP

Hi
I have a Satellite P200-RT1, PSPBOC.
I have downgraded my operating system from Vista to XP.
Now I am having a driver issue, I have installed all of the drivers for my computer. I have installed all of the HotKey utilities for my computer as well and I still have an issue. Some of my FN Key functions don't work. The ESC to F5 Functions work but all of the functions above there do not.
I am really looking for the Display Brightness and Dimmer keys F6&F7 to work, if possible I would also like the F9 key touch pad enable/disable key to work as well, which as of right now they don't.
I was wondering if there is a driver that I am missing and if so which driver is it. I have taken my computer into three computer shops now and no one can figure this out. Please Help ME!
Thanks Ken.

Hello
It seems that your notebook is a Canadian model and therefore you can download the drivers on the Toshiba Canada website:
http://www.toshiba.ca
The problem is that I cant find Windows XP drivers on this website. :(
The only way I know is that you try the drivers and utilities from the European website. Normally the models are very similar and maybe it works. Its worth a try.
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Try to download and install Toshiba Accessibility and Controls (Driver).

Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

Hi and I have a problem.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
Any suggestions?

Hi!
Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:
