My webcam doesnt work

I have E531 lenovo thinkopad.
My cam seems to be on when i check settings..
but it doesnt work on skyppe ?

Hi SnowWolfX,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with camera on your ThinPad E531.
Have you check if the driver is installed properly from device manager, if installed check if it is enabled from setting.
Press Windows + C to enter the charms bar and go to PC setting select privacy and go to Web-camera option and check if it switches ON.
Check with this option and let us know the findings.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Satellite C850-A797 webcam doesnt work

I have Toshiba Satellite C850-A797 and my webcam doesnt work
I think it is because of Windows update and *the new software interrupt every time i download it,*
It is problem of the server of toshiba as i think
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Question 1)
What system do you have? As Im no mistaken the Satellite C850-A797 was preinstalled with Windows 7 64bit.
The webcam drivers as well as other drivers for Satellite C850 series can be downloaded here:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
I actually downloaded the webcam driver for the above page and it worked properly.
Check this [webcam driver v 2.0.3.39 for Windows 7 |http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7499&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=30&selType=315&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=315&page=1&ID=88046&OSI D=30&driverLanguage=42]

Webcam doesnt work on my Satellite A300-243 with Win7 32bit

I have A300-243 PSAG8E, after installed win7 my webcam DONT WORK.
it had been worked before with VISTA AND spype.
I upgraded the bios and updated drivers.
Webcam is not listed driver of win7 32bits of A300.
As it suggested in one of the forums i downloaded other driver from A500/ A350 ect non of them worked.
displayed on the screen:
"Webcam is either disabled or has failed. Please check your webcam settings" also Camera is not listed in Device Manager." imaging not listed.
I restarted and used cccleaner after my attemps and nothing succeded.
What else I could do.
PLEASE HELP ME.
ORNA

I have an A 300. I just fixed this problem by replacing the cable. It took me 3 hours to disassemble the laptop (clean it) and put it back together again. Now it works like New! The spare part number of the cable is V000932480.
In my case:
- camera stopped suddenly for no apparent reason.
- I didn't upgrade my OS or anything
- it beep every time I closed the screen
- It didn't show on device manager (only at 45dg position but I couldn't do anything anyway)
- camera software crashed every time, and said; Camera not found, restart or install.
In my opinion, after some time, the wire got damaged just by the hinge, although I couldn't see anything broken.
If you have the same issue and you are used to open the laptop then don't look on SW issues... just change the cable. If you are not sure then just buy an external web cam. it wont solve the problem but it would be much easier.
I hope it helps someone as other posts helped me. Good luck

Satellite A210 - Built in webcam doesnt work

After i reinstall my notebook (Satellite A210) with the factory DVD, my webcam get this error... "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
What can be wrong? I have this notebook only 1 month and I bought it as brand new notebook.

It is very stupid situation. I have A200 with web cam and when OS installation is finished starts one small wizard and check if webcam is there or not. Hardware is recognised and all necessary drivers will be installed. After restart everything works well.
I presume the same should happen when you try to install your A210. Am I right? Try with recovery installation again. Maybe next time everything will be ok.

Creative WebCam Vista Plus on USB PCI Card (VIA VT 6212) on Windows ME - doesnt work !!

PC turns off when the Vista Plus WebCam is connected to the USB port on my USB PCI Card
I use a primitive Intel Celeron 300Mhz processor with 64MB RAM on an Intel 440BX-AT Chipset running on Window ME. I recently installed a USB PCI Card (based on the VIA VT 622 chipset) which is a 394/USB 2.0 Combo. The problem is my 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' doesnt work with it.
After I had installed the drivers on the 'Creative WebCam Vista Plus' CD - that is - without connecting the webcam to my USB PCI card the installation asks me to connect the webcam to the USB port and When I do that the PC just GOES OFF !
It starts up only in SAFE MODE and each time I've got to restore my PC.
How do I get the WebCam connected to my PC ?
Thanks in advance

9hours later and Ive given up. I cant get the Vista 64 Ultimate to work with the Audigy 2Nx usb sound card. Im very angry and very frustrated (not to mention very tired from the 2 late nights Ive spent trying to work it out). Im not a PC-noob, but am only 4days into my Vista ownership................... Im guessing now, after much research, that there will never be a driver that gets these units to work with Vista 64bit. thats pretty weak Creative. However, I dont want to use crappy onboard sound for my gaming.What is the suggestion?Should I be looking at returning this unit, and buying either the X-Fi Xtremegamer?Fatality Pro as?a highend device, or the X-Fi Xtremegamer for $00 less? Or should I be looking at another manufacturer. Would either of these x-fi gamers work with Vista 64bit Ultimate?suggestions please?

Chicony Webcam Not Working on Satellite Pro A350d-202

System Specification:
Satellite Pro a350d-202
Windows 7 64bit
I am not sure if this is related but since I updated my laptop to Windows 7 my Chicony Webcam has stopped working. I have tried all of the following:
Complete rebuild of my system from scratch.
+Unsuccessful+
Safe Mode drivier installation
+For some reason, it doesnt let me log in via safe mode. I get to the windows log in screen and it reboots itself after a few seconds. Any explanations? Again, have rebuilt PC a few times.+
No Device for webcam in Control panel devices and printers or hardware.
+Manually installing drivers as recommended doesnt work. I cant see the webcam being recognised+
Half closing the lid of the laptop to hear it recognising the camera or new device.
+Unsuccessful. This does not happen+
In essence, i want to know if this is a Windows 7 compatibility issue or a Toshiba technical fault.
Either way an OFFICIAL word from Toshiba would be key here as I was using the webcam for vital web conferencing for work and now I cant.
Please provide any options or anything else I can try.
Any suggestions deeply valued. Including links or other articles I may have missed
Desperately seeing a solution.
Regards
Danny

The Chicony webcam should be listed in device manager under the option Imagine devices. There you should see USB Video Device entry.
Can you see that?If yes, delete this from the device manager and reboot the unit.
+I see nothing. No entry in imaging devices. No entry in USB devices.+
Usually the Windows 7 should recognize the cam automatically and should refresh the driver. Is it the case?
+Nope. Windows 7 picks up all other drivers. All other software all other facilities. Just not the camera. Laptop works perfectly otherwise, just not cam :(...+

Touchsmart webcam not working with any messenger programs.

My Cam doesnt work with any messenger programs.. (yahoo, msn, skype...) Just bought it right before christmas and appearantly im not alone in this... can anyone help? its the only way my husband and i can see each other because he is deployed to Iraq. Please help!!!

Hi.
first - please go to tools>options on skype, choose whichever is right for camera options and make sure the correct camera is appears in the drop-box. Anything with "hp-camera" or "cybershot" will do.
if it still doesn't work you will need to open the touchsmart software and disable the camera usage through that software - because once a software uses the webcam - any other software cannot do use it. ( just like you cannot use the camera on skype and on msn messenger at the same time.
here is the HP artical about hoe to enable webcams on touchsmarts - its long , but might be helpful

MSI GF4 Ti-4200 doesnt work with WindowsXP

I can't get the MSI display tools to work - it crashes,
the vbios.dll doesnt load, it also crashes.
the tv in doesnt work ,it crashes
the tv out doesnt work ,it crashes.
all the supplied software also crashes "application has encountered an error and cannot continue. sorry for any inconvenience"
the intervideo software (windvr, wincoder, winproducer) and MSI PVI software all crashes as well.
what's the deal with this stuff? ?(
I have a Dual AMD athlon Tyan thunder k7 motherboard,
MSI Ti-4200-VTD video card and MSI tv anywhere card.
is there any resolution for this?

I'm sorry gfilitti if I don't have my system listed, but I thought my question was pretty simple...
Has ANYONE been able to make the InterVideo WinProducer 2 software, that comes with the retail version of the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 card, work successfully under the Windows XP Home or Pro operating system?
If the answer is YES, then I will begin investigating why my system can't.
If the answer is NO, then I only ask for other people's recommendations of what software WILL work in place of that. I NEED those functions to work. That's why I paid extra for the VIVO.
All we've heard so far in this thread are NO votes. I would like to see just how widespread this is. If I can find ONE person who claims it works fine on his/her computer under Windows XP, then my NEXT question would be if they had to do anything different to make it run, or was it just a straight install? Did they add the program patch available from the MSI website? See where I'm going with this?

BTW, I would think when investigating a program's FLAT refusal to run, that the MOST important things aren't listed in these signature files. It has to do with what ELSE is running at the same time. Which services are running and which are NOT? What memory resident programs are loaded at boot-up? Any service packs installed? How about any security patches from Microsoft? Which anti-virus software (if any)? Which DirectX version? Personal firewall? Etc., etc.
Granted, the hardware DOES have a factor, but I feel all of these are MORE important factors than the speed or brand of a persons hardware. I look at the signitures more as bragging rights than anything else.
Now, this is just my opinion and may not reflect the feelings of the more sane people around me.
Cheers!
