Satellite A300-15B - Windows 7 and webcam driver

Hey
I just have done format on my pc Satellite A300-15B from windows vista (32bit) to windows 7 (64 bit) enterprise Greek edition!! But my driver of webcam doesn't work.
At first it worked but the last 4 days it not. :( What can I do??
Thanks

Hey,
To be honest I dont understand what you mean. Do you talk about webcam or some Toshiba utilities now? Im confused
If you want to update the webcam driver, you can download it on the Toshiba page:

Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA -02Y010 - Error: Webcam driver open failed

Problem:
Recieve error every time I try to use Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba: Webcam driver open failed. Please restart camera or computer. Web cam also does not work in Skype. It seems that this is a very common problem with the A300s series, yet there is no clear solution out there.
Hardware
Series: A300
Model: PSAGCA -02Y010
Software
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba: 1.7.175.0123
Details
I recently did a clean install of Windows 7, updating from Windows Vista. I never used the web cam on Windows Vista, so I can't testify as to whether the web camera was workin correctly or not. However, when I tried to use it with Skype, it did not work. I reinstalled the driver that I backed up before I installed the new operating system, but it did not work. The web cam doesn't show up at all in Device Manager - even when set to display hidden devices. Trying to add new hardware through the control panel fails to detect the web camera at all. I have restarted after every install/repair of the driver.
Steps Taken
Reinstalled backuped drivers
I used third party software (Double Driver) to back up and reinstall the drivers for the web camera after I installed Windows 7. Double Driver claimed there was no device to install the driver for. I manually copied the files into the Camera Assistance folder and overwrote the existing ones. The files I copied were:
casflr.cat
oem34.inf
restore.ini
UVCFTR_S.SYS
Reinstalled Drivers from Toshiba Website
Extensive goolging has only turned up recommendations to uninstall and reinstall drivers. I was unable to find any drivers specifically for windows 7 64-bit, but I did try those for my model of laptop for Windows Vista 64-bit - no luck. I tried installing Camera Assistance Software for Toshiba, which as far as I can tell, includes the driver - it only gives me the error described above.
I also tried locating a generic Windows 7 driver for the web camera - I was unable to find one.
Check Registry Value Is Correct
I have also tried checked the registry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/ControlSet001/Enum/USB/SN001/ClassUID matches the value in C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\64bit\casflr.inf as and C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\casflr.inf recommended by some article recommend.
Please, I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out here. I have exhausted all the options I can think of.
Likely Solution:
I encountered a thread post that suggested a loose wire was responsible and that the camera would work when the lid was almost closed. I tried this and the camera suddenly appeared in device manager. However, I still can't get it to work with Camera Assistant Software or Skype.

Hi - I'm a newbie to this forum.
I have an A300 Satellite Pro - not even 2 years old.
In the last 2 days I have 2 problems that I think are possibly related.
1. Like others on here I now cannot get my internal webcam to work. I get the 'webcam driver open failed' message. I have read some forums etc and today I have:
a) loaded most recent BIOS,
b) reloaded the webcam software drivers (the most recent seems to be from 2008!)
c) restarted my laptop about 20 times
Nothing works
2. In the last 2 days for the first time I keep getting the 'USB device not recognised' message that annoyingly crops up about every 10 seconds. I am assuming that the webcam is connected to a USB port (internal) and is no longer being recognised. Based on Google advice in various forums I have also:
1) Turned off the AC power supply
2.) Taken out the laptop battery and waited 5 mins - this apparently resets the BIOS
3) tried using device manager in various ways
Nothing bloody works!!
Maybe the hardware is damaged but I doubt it - I have not dropped the laptop, I always pack it carefully in a padded rucksack. It has always worked fine until 2 days ago.

Re: Does Satellite A300-15B support Windows XP?

Does Satellite A300-15B support 'windows xp?
thanks

I checked the Toshiba European driver page and didnt find Win XP 64bit drivers for ANY Toshiba series.
I think the Windows XP 64bit drivers will be not released.
Fact is that Windows XP 64bit was not so popular like Win XP 32bit or Vista 64bit OS
Secondly the Win XP 64bit is a discontinued OS so unfortunately, I would not wait for Win XP 64bit drivers

Equium 350D and Windows 7 - Webcam driver load failure

Have successfully installed Windows 7 on an Equium L 350D.
Have Successfully installed Tosh Camera Assist software (Chicony) and hardware profile indicates the driver is OK, and I can see the toolbar for the camera.
But on every boot and when trying to activate the camera I get 'Webcam Driver Open failed - Please restart camera or computer'. It worked perfectly OK with Vista.
Anyone any ideas?

Windows 7 RTM fingerprint reader and webcam driver status for TX2

I read somewhere on HP's site that windows 7 drivers for this TX2 - 1027CA won't be available until October 2009. Still I am using it now, and the main system is running fine. There is an issue around the fingerprint reader, and possibly the webcam for me at this stage. Until HP delivers updated drivers, I wondered if there might be beta versions of drivers for the TX2 I might try. I'm willing to keep using windows 7, but I'd like to try to install updated drivers asap. That's possibly two months away, and one month into the OS availability to MSDN subscribers (many businesses and developers). I'm guessing there are some other people reading this list who have found what is and isn't possible on the TX2 today under 7. Would you mind giving us a brief run down on what drivers are working or not working? Fingerprint reader and webcam are of high interest for starters. My goal is to get working what can be working.

Satellite A300 1lW - Windows 7 installation - any issues?

Good Morning/afternoon!
I would like to install a new intern hard drive on my laptop and I want to put also windows 7 on it.
The issue is that it is the first time I will do this manipulation and I dont really know what sort of functionality will be incompatible with this installation.
- Can you recommand me a windows 7 version which can be suitable for this laptop?
- Which functionality will be deactivated when I will install windows 7 on my new hard drive?
Thanks a lot!
Regards

Here is the list how I have installed all stuff on my Satellite A300 (PSAG8E):

-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared

Everything works well but some drivers are missing
Added Vista stuff:

Win7 works much better and faster as original Vista.

Thank you very much in advance

Satellite A300 - High temperatures and overheating

Hey there
I own Toshiba Satellite A300 for one year.Lately I have noticed overheating.
In the idle the lowest temperature I have measured using HW Monitor was 60C for CPU, 50C for GPU, 42C for HDD. When I have more applications opened it rises to 83C for CPU and 62C for GPU, during witch system performance is pretty slow. Bottom part of housing is quite hot even keyboard is hot and it's quite uncomfortable.
Any idea where could be a problem? Should I put it into service? Thanks for reponses.
Andrew

Hi
You should not send it to an authorized service provider you should clean your notebook from time to time!!!
I recommended compressed air spray. Blow gently and shortly the air trough the holes of the case of the machine where the air flows trough. This could remove the dust from the cooling ventilators.
This procedure should be performed every 3-4 months to ensure a proper operation and avoid system errors.
I always used compressed air spray and I never had problems as yet.
Bye

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

Windows 7 Webcam driver?

Hey, I have an X200 tablet that I just installed Windows 7 on. I've installed patches/drivers for almost everything, but I can't get the webcam to work. Any help?

Thanks Wendel.
I downloaded the 65dt11ww driver from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68014 which is the Vista 32 bit driver for the webcam
I double clicked it and it installed itself into C:/drivers/Vista32/camera.
I then went to Start, Accessories, Run and clicked on Browse and went to the above camera file where I clicked on Setup (the application file not the other ones). Run setup and bingo! one working camera.
Thanks for the advice from the forum members - much appreciated.
A big thumbs down to Lenovo for not supporting a 2 year old laptop.

Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader will not work

Help required please.
Have a A300 Satellite laptop, running vista.
Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it. The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
I have not installed or cannot remember changing settings or doing anything out of the usually.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi
Your posting is very confusing.
> Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it.
Well, there are many reasons for that; it could be possible that inserted disk is not fully compatible. Try different disks from different manufacturers.
It could be also possible that laser lens of the ODD is dirty. In such case you could clean it using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol. In my case this helped.
> The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
Did you use a compatible card? The notebook handles these cards:
SD Card 8MB - 2GB
SDHC Card - 4GB
xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
MultiMediaCard - 8MB-1GB
miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32MB-2GB
I would also recommend to format the card and to copy some files from computer and then to test this.
You could also reinstall and update the driver for card reader controller...
> The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card
Cannot believe that You should use a scanner software (should be provided with the scanner) and should test this device. By the way; mostly a scanner driver needs to be installed in order to use this

Satellite A300 - Can't install display driver

So I formatted my laptop (A300 PSAGCA-0C301N) two nights ago, and being the idiot I am I forgot to download and backup the necessary drivers for my laptop.
So when I first started the laptop on a fresh installation of Windows Vista 32-bit on a freshly formatted HDD, my resolution was 1024x768. However, the full standard resolution for this laptop is actually 1280x768 along those lines, however when I went to "Personalize" the max resolution I was allowed to have was 1024x768.
So I went to this site http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/...download?os=15 and downloaded the Wireless Lan/Wired Lan drivers, the Intel Chipset drivers, the Audio Driver and ATI M82XT,M86 Display Driver.
However, once I downloaded and began to install the ATi driver, I got three error messages right after extraction; the first box saying:"Catalyst Install Manager failed to initialize Detection Manager"
Right after the first box, I get another error box saying "Catalyst Install Manager failed to initialize"
and then a third box saying "Catalyst Install Manager failed to initialize Package Manager".
After the third box, it proceeds to installation, however after accepting the User's Agreement I get these error boxes;
"Catalyst Install Manager failed to initialize"
"Failed to find any installable components!"
and then the install screen proceeds to say "Failures occured during installation".
I am running Windows Vista 32 bit and using the Super Administrator account, so UAC is non existent.
Help please? I'm sick of being stuck at 1024x768.
BTW my GPU is an ATi HD3450.

Hi Kabura,
What happens if you install the display driver manual via device manager and advanced installation option where you can choose the driver and directory yourself?
Does it work?
I had a similar problem and this worked for me
By the way: You should also install latest Service Pack for Vista. Check the Microsoft page for an update.
Last but not least you dont post an installation order. In which order you installed the drivers? Generally speaking the chipset driver should be installed firstly, then the display driver.
