View 3 Replieswhy when I started launched Windows XP in VMWare Fusion, my video chat through iChat closed and when the other party tried to connect it said something to the effect that the service isn't available. Anyone know why this happen or how or if it can be fixed? (I have never done this before, this is the first time I tired)

I start iChat and it goes nuts! Kept logging on and off at the speed of light without actually connecting. After 15 seconds it said connect later because you have tried to many times for now.
Well I fire it up 30 min later it starts but there is no windows popping up for it anymore. The top bar changes to ichat but no menu or window or anything.
I have a new Netgear router because my old one died. From everything I can tell it is the exact same router I had before just brand new. Perhaps the firmware is different but I kept it updated so don't know for sure.
Basically what is happening is when I start iChat it will just sign in and sign out extremely rapidly until the account is temporarily disabled because I logged in and out too often. I click the icon and it logs in an out faster than I can count instantly then BAM the error message.
Have no idea whats going on. Don't have any other network at my disposal right now to try this on so I can't say if it is the router or a random problem with iChat. AIM works fine on my phone so I know it isn't the account.
I'm going to restart right now and then try 7 and see if the problem still persists but has anyone heard of a problem like this? Very strange.
My MBP is up to date software side. Made no new changes.
Works fine in Windows 7. AIM starts up without issue.
Ever since my parents installed Snow Leopard on their computer we started experiencing constant video freezes during chats. I'm still running Leopard.

What happens is it will bounce as if it were to load, then there is just a question mark in front of the program. I have tried opening them up through spotlight, but still nothing is working. I have tried searching the forums and looked in my Everything Mac user guide.

Also, she wants to use the same phone as well to surf the internet (serving as a modem) when she's out of range of telephone lines etc.
I am considering upgrading my laptop to 64 bit Vista. How do I identify which camera version I have so I know which drivers I need? I've looked at the properties in device manager and it just identifies the camera drivers as 'Microsoft'.

The Cyberlink You Cam software that came with it, was ok so i re-dowloaded that again but im still having issues the lighting is very poor.
low lighting conditions or bad drivers cause this did not happen until i reformatted the thing. I really don't want to go back to VISTA
I placed an order last night for a refurb m1330. The spec for the system says that it is the LED screen and has a 2.0mp camera. I thought this config didn't exist -
View 10 Replies View RelatedI initially bought a m1210 dell laptop without the integrated camera option. I recently purchased a new cover for my laptop (the old one cracked.) this time it included the camera.
I installed everything together and it all looks fine But Im not sure If Im actually able to plug the cord for the camera anywhere.
I've got a UK Sony Z (VGN-Z11VN). I've got a dual boot Vista/7 setup that has been working fine. I used my motion eye camera about 1 month ago in 7 with no probs. Recently it's no longer there. By that I mean no camera installed, no devices in device manager (identified or not). I've not changed anything recently. I booted Vista (not used for months) and it's also absent from there!
There are no options in the bios that I can see to disable to camera, so I'm not sure what's happening.
As it's failed in BOTH vista and 7, and I knew previously it worked I'm assuming there's a hardware failure. Could it somehow be software?
I don't know of any way to be sure without fully re-installing, which I've not got the stomach for just now. Is there a linux live distro on usb or cd/dvd that I could boot from to check if the camera hardware is still present. Alternatively is there any way I can install windows on an external drive (usb/firewire) - I think not, as I don't want to mess with my existing install as I'm pretty busy.
How can I tell if I have the .3 or 1.3 MP camera? I bought the 1.3MP but can't seem to get any resolutions close to that.
My mini 9 is running windows XP.
When I go to 'My Computer' and choose the 'Integrated Webcam' option and take a picture, the resolution is 352x288.
Does anybody know why the option for a webcam is not present on the Precision M6400 64bit configuration page (US)? This seems like a really basic option that should be available on their flagship machine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedJust about to receive a previously loved M4400 that is missing 1 feature I need for work and personal use: the webcam.
The question to all the M4400 users out there is: has anyone replaced the camera module? If the only thing required for me to exchange the existing mic only module with a cam + mic module? Is a different bezel used?
What is the part or assy. number for the webcam/mic board? The bezel with openings? Ebay has some Dell bezelcams but none that specify for M4400 or E6x00
i'm trying to find a way to deactivate the indicator light that turns on (green) when i start my built in camera!i'm using it a lot and it's very annoying!!does anybody know if and how i can do this??
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recieved the Aspire one notebook for a christmas gift not to long ago and it is an awesome little gadget. But what just happened a few moments ago is the camera decided it wasn't going to work anymore and I got a message saying. "Camera not detected." I tried doing restarts resets and even did a eRecovery only to be told that it was a usb device and that I need to "plug it in". I don't understand why it decided to randomly stop working and I'm rather annoyed by it and would like some assistance on this issue. I had to send back one notebook already because the power source was busted I really don't want to have to send this one back too.

The camera uses a 3.5mm AV cable but I am unsure where to plug into the laptop. In the yellow female port on the back? And I do not know what cable to use. I cannot find a male to male Audio Visual cable.
I've reinstalled my system recently, I've gone from Vista Home Premium 64bit to Vista Business 32bit on my Z690, using all the drivers available on Sony's support & drivers website. Everything was fine here and there until I've realized, the camera isn't working properly after having the Arcsoft webcam companion 2 installed.
The trouble is, I get this message: Bluetooth video waiting for connection...
I can imagine, some of you guys might have entered this issue, which is quite easy to resolve, saying this I found the following tip:

However, under Arcsoft settings the only video device listed is the bluetooth video listed. This most probably means, the Sony visual communication camera missing equals the missing camera driver on my Z690, right? I mean, having a look at device manager, under Imaging devices I've got only xerox scanner listed (installed myself through control panel/hardware and sound/scanners and cameras).
Anyway, I've even tried to install the XP camera drivers for Z690 instead, they installed smoothly (using administrator rights and XP compatibility mode), but Vaio camera capture utility shows blue screen with no input, and the Sony visual communication camera for XP provided doesn't seem to work (I know, I know it's supposed to be used for XP only, but I'm desperate here
I've tried uninstall and reinstall over & over again, restarting etc.
I found that my new Z does not come with motion eye camera driver, because my new Z was fresh start option. The Sony esupport website does not have the driver. My hardware manager does not even show the Images Device.
how to find the motion eye camera driver.
I know this is an older model. I had to replace the hard drive and do not have the recovery disks. Sony says no longer available. They have drivers and updates on the website but not original software.
I managed to load XP from a separate disk. I put on a number of items and drivers. Most everything seems to work except the camera. I have Network Smart Capture when I press the smart button it opens and the on light on the camera lights but no picture.
Do I need separate software and if so which one and where do I get it? Does anyone have the recovery disks?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just ordered a Studio XPS 13 from the Dell UK Outlet.
I noticed something odd about the spec. The display is listed as White LED (this was a big deal for me and is what I am after) but it also includes a 2MP webcam.
My understanding was that only the CCFL display shipped with the 2MP cam and the LED had a lower res one?
Any idea what's going on there? How can I verify that I have the LED screen when it arrives?
I and my friend had little Skype video chat.
He owns Inspiron I guess 1525 and I have Studio 1535.
We did some test and his camera quality was perfect, but min e was horrible.
It really amaze me and here are the screen shots from his and mine camera.
I'm with Vista x64 SP 2 - for some reason Vista just don't want to work with Creative Drivers and freeze my skype and camera is was lunched.This is due to some bug in SP 2, with SP 1 was compatible with Dell Drivers.
So I'm with standard Vista driver.
My friend is on Windows XP and He told me - He is with drivers from Del's web or something like it.
Is this normal?
the difference is like day and night as you wil l note.
I have a Dell Latitude E4300 laptop that came without an integrated camera.
I am thinking of adding a camera to this laptop by ordering:
a) A new LCD Front Bezel and rear LCD cover
b) a Dell camera
I would love your advice on the following questions:
1) Is this possible?
2) Do all E4300s have a slot for adding a webcam on the mother board?
3) Will I need to update the BIOS or anything else to enable it?
Just picked up this new notebook. When on Skype, the image quality rec'd by others is downright terrible. For example, the cables for the headphones I was using is seen as terribly jagged on the other end. See it here.
Is this image is as good as it gets? Seems like a 1.3 Mb camera should be able to do a better job.
I have a Aspire 5051. Its camera have a problem, I activate it and it doesnt show any image just appears in black. I updated the driver, but nothing...
