I use Toshiba L300, after upgrading (custom install) my OS from vista home premium to windows 7 professional, my webcam does not work. It uses chicony camera assistance software for toshiba. Everytime, I get an error message "webcam driver open fail. restart your camera or computer". I checked the toshiba support site for dirver update, but it says the vista driver for that webcam is compatible with windows 7 as well. I reinstalled/restarted several times, however, I can't make it work anyway! Help me please. Thanks.
im running Windows 7 on a toshiba l300 lappy it orignaly had vista on it but im not in to it for many reasons so i decided to try Windows 7 every thing went well on the install the only prob i have found at the moment is that i have no driver for the built in webcam.
i bought Toshiba L300 s502 with xp windows.now i want to use windows 7 on my laptop. after installing windows 7 i found that every driver is ok but my web cam is not working. on the device manager my web cam driver also show ok.
Now i am in great trouble finding drivers for my laptop for using windows 7.what can i do now?i want to use windows 7.
I will have the chance to move a Toshiba Satellite L300-1DN from Vista HP (pre-installed) to Windows 7 Pro (clean install).
Am in two minds about this and would like to see significantly less CPU use to make it worth it otherwise I will save my disk for another project.
Also has anyone had experience of clean installs of Windows 7 on Toshiba laptops with Vista on them and are there any functionality problems to watch out for in this process?
I upgraded windows Vista on my Toshiba satellite L300 (intel 45 express chipset,core 2 Duo 2GHz processor) with Windows 7. All drivers taken automatically. But when I started Webcam (chicony webcam) a message appeared: "Webcam driver open fail.
Please restart Camera or Computer." Message persists after restarting repeatedly. Same with Modem, When I tried to connect Internet on Dial up modem, message appeared "Dial tone not present." Actually Dial tone was present. Device manager is showing both devices as "Working Properly". Can any one suggest solution?
The webcam driver for my Toshiba Satellite didn't make the transition to Windows 7 from Vista. The Device manager says it is up to date, but also says "Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)" Any ideas?
I rebooted my labtop everything came back ok but the webcam application that normally is under utilities i went to toshiba website installed their so called application but it's not doing anything, what can i do to get it back.
i recently installed windows 7 64 bit and i had done back up of all my drivers using driver magician and all the drivers restored well and no conflit.
But i have a problem with my camera, in the device manager it says that the device is working correctly but i cant see it anywhere, i went to my computer, start up, programs but there is no where to start it, am i missing something?
device manager says device working so i am all confused, i did driver update and it said that the driver is the latest one any idea?
in vista in the left hand there would be the web-cam thing hidden and when you put your cursor there it would pop up and start the web-cam,,
I have a Satellite A355 with Windows 7 installed. Just presciently my Chicony USB 2.0 WebCam (built-in) stopped working with skype. Checked drivers and all are working properly. The laptop has not been dropped/mishandled; the device suddenly quit.
