I own an Inspiron 1520 and have recently started using the integrated webcam. The picture quality is great, but when used in webcam sessions or personal recordings, my voice is out of sync with the image.
View 9 Repliesshould V-sync be on or off in Bioshock.
should i also turn v-sync off in the Nvidia controll panel if i turn v-sync off in the game ? (it enable at "application controlled", does it matter ?
how much worse qualtiy do i get if i turn v-sync off ? (is it worth it)
how do you guys run Bioshock, and which laptop spec do you have and which game settings do you use ?
I have a Dell XPS M1530, and have recently joined the HD Television world and bought a Toshiba 40" 40RV525RZ. I was checking out the HDMI feature on the laptop, checking out how I might be able to use the tv as an awesome monitor replacement. Looks great so far!
My problem is that the audio from the TV is slightly out of sync from the audio on my laptop. Considering I can't turn off the audio on my laptop without turning off the audio on the television (at least, if I can I don't know how), it's annoying having the echo effect coming from my TV and the stereo attached to it.
Have Dell Latitude D830 and PPC Phone
In short:
* Bluetooth syncing between PPC mobile phone does not work
* Bluetooth between PPC mobile phone and Dell Laptop pairs
* USB Syncing between mobile phone and Mobile device center works
* Bluetooth syncing between PPC mobile phone prior to system reinstall DID work and worked well.
* Bluetooth mouse was paired first this time and works well.
Problem Details:
I have a windows pocket pc phone that connected to Bluetooth very well with my Dell D830 prior to the crash I had last week. In fact, it worked better with Bluetooth than it did with the USB connection. After receiving a hard drive from Dell with the Vista Dell Basic operating system image on it and set my system up again along with all my programs and downloaded and installed the Mobile Device Center 6.1 from the Microsoft site. I synced pocket PC phone up with usb and had no problems. I set up my bluetooth and it connected with no problems. (I have a Bluetooth mouse that I set up and it works perfectly.) The Mobile Device Center partnership with bluetooth will not work. When I select ActiveSync and select Menu/Sync with Bluetooth, the Mobile center does not recognize the PPC phone. I see no response from the Mobile Device Center at all.
Got my 13" MBP last week and wife liked the looks and size so much, she decided she wanted one too...so far so good.
I alternate every day between Linux, Mac and PC and also use Solaris and AIX frequently. Switching OS's isn't a big deal to me...for my wife, it a bit more than she expected.
My current dilemma is how to syncronize her long time PC files with her new MBP.
I have read about Dropbox, FolderShare, SugarShare and Syncplicity. Each either has a 2-5GB size limitation or a monthly fee in addition to many unwanted options.
I have roughly 60GB of data that I want to keep in sync...mind you, not all 60GB of data will change every day...but until my wife gets comfortable with Leopard, I want to make sure the PC and the MAC are "in parity" if that makes sense.
I basically want something like rsync (from UNIX/Linux) but it needs to have a gui and be more transparent.
WAF is crucial.
got a 13" MPB, 2.26GHz.
I have a Dell Inspiron desktop that has a couple of files I want to keep in sync with the Macbook Pro.
I have one hurdle already down with Dropbox - I sync my important documents/files between the desktop and the Mac. However, I would really like to have my music synced between the two iTunes libraries as well. I did a quick Google/forum search on the issue but it seems like people haven't arrived at a conclusive answer or it involves programming with rsync, which I'm not familiar with at all.
In preparation for the quite-likely-to-happen-towel-throwing-in, I've recently imported all my photos into iPhoto from PC's.
So I'm going to need to give this a try. Three Macs to start with.
I already own Chronosync and Econ has a good guide for doing the sync in CS.
However, is there a better option? A completely automatic solution like Dropbox?
I bought this new dell XPS 14Z a month back. the optical drive started making "Clicking" noise (sound similar to the one when you click the eject button) . This mainly occurs during booting , while opening itunes or while my sync up is running.
I spoke with the dell tech support and they did replace the optical drive. it didn't fix the issue. I checked in one my friends laptop and could see that it is not occurring .
All the other buttons work, like : mute,hold,arcade delux,etc.
But the volume is not working right.
Calendar and Contacts have their own icons on the Macbook but Notes is no where to be found. I did find a Notes folder in my Mail but nothing seems to Sync even though I clicked the Sync Notes Option in my Itunes.
Why can't something as simple as Notes sync between the Iphone and a Macbook?
iTunes.. I need to stop it from synchronizing the iPod with laptop.
Is there like an option im missing or overseeing?
I wish i could tell iTunes DO NOT SYNC my iPod with my the laptops itunes library when the iPod is plugged in
Originally i had photos from my iphoto synced up to my iphone. This was when i had the original drive on my mbp. Since then i upgraded to a SSD but i didn't restore from time machine. Recently i synced up my phone again to the new machine and since the photo album didn't exist in the new SSD, itunes erased the album. I don't have the photos on the old drive anymore since i formated the drive. Itunes made a backup of the phone before it synced but i looked through the backup and can't find the photos.

View 6 Replies View RelatedNeed to re-install the Dell Webcam Center Software (not the drivers) on my laptop how to i get them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedA few days before I was going to shipping my Studio 15 off. I looked in the box and low and behold I found the Dell Webcam Center disk that I originally thought that Dell had forgotten to include.
Upon installation I found that the specific version of Dell WC that came with my Studio 15 is not the same one that you find at the downloads center on support.dell.com.
I could never get the downloaded Dell WC to work, even after numerous chats with technical support. No matter how many times I contacted Dell about this, they claimed there is only one version of Dell Webcam Center. Clearly that isn't true .....
I had my display replaced a couple weeks ago. never thought to test it before he left. now I wanted to turn it on but it says it can't be found.
how do i find out if its actually connected? no lights flash when the pc boots up. i always thought with vista it would flash a blue light at boot up.
What software are people using to take snapshots with the integrated webcam under Windows 7?

One quick question...is there anyway to disable the webcam? ..
The Dell Downloads section gives me a transaction error ... And when I downloaded it from the FTP site the program says please plug in a device.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy webcam wont power on, even when I open the Dell webcam console.
On other occasions, it will repeatedly turn itself on and off, with the "budup" noise, like the same noise when you connect a usb device.
It gets very irritating, and it can happen 50 times before it stops(like the other night when I was playing a game,
and was doing nothing in relation to webcams). Its as if im opening and closing the lid, but the lcd isnt effected(perhaps its the lid connection for the webcam wire, if that exists??)
I opened up the M1530, and checked the connection to the motherboard, thanks to another thread here ... M1530 webcam not working....
And the pic supplied here http://forum.notebookreview.com/atta...2&d=1223851321
That seems to be fine, and since reassembled, it wont turn on at all. That happened before I deassembled it, so its not a problem I caused, and could just start to repeatedly turn itself on and off again at any stage.
I just received my M1530 from Dell and noticed that there's a gap between the black border trimming around the webcam and the top of the lid.
If you have the laptop open like you're using, then at the top of the black trim above the screen it starts flush with the colored part on the lid of the laptop but slowly separates towards the middle (right below the silver notch to open the lid) and then goes flush again on the other side.
Is this a normal build? I can post a pic if it's not clear in the post.
Which version of the webcam driver allows for pan/tilt? When I first had the laptop loaded from Dell these features worked in the settings.
I formatted a few times since then and just used the Windows drivers. Now, if I move the slider nothing happens at all.
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 7, my computer crashes when the webcam is started. Whether it's an online app or Skype, as soon as I try to start up my webcam I get a BSOD
View 4 Replies View RelatedKeep getting the following error message -
"No supported webcam driver detected. Please install the driver using the dell resource disc and launch the center again"
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver multiple times and I have the newest driver.
I recently upgraded to windows 8, and my laptop worked smoothly, and then randomly after maybe a week of use my webcam is no longer recognized.
I can't find it in device manager to update the driver or pretty much anything! the microphone still works perfectly, but its as if my camera ceased to exist, as if it were not at all connected to my laptop. I tried finding the driver online, but only managed to find the driver for the xps 17z, which I thought would work, but it wouldn't install as it gave me the message, you must have Windows XP SP2 or higher installed.
where can i get a cheap, yet good/ok webcam for my laptop? i am probably going to get a new laptop by the end of the year, so don't want to spend too much on a webcam. i guess i just need one to hold me over till then... thanks.
View 7 Replies View Relatedwhat I have here is an e1705 which I have been modding, externally it looks like a 1710, which one day it will be one when I can afford the prices, but what I want to do is I want to take a cheap USB webcam with a built in microphone, and build it into the bezel above the screen.
Has anyone done this before?
The only issues I'm afraid of are camera size, the rest should be fairly easy, tapping into a USB port, setting the mics and drilling holes etc.
Making room for a tiny cam will surely be the hardest part, and making room for it up there and having to cut apart at the lock system at the top to keep the screen from opening.
Luckily since I do have an XPS LCD back on this there is plleeenty of room for wires etc, the standard 1705 LCD back is nearly flush with the backlight making it hard to add any more wires, but the XPS LCD back has tons of room so i'm not worried about that, and I've opened this up enough to route wires down to one of the USB ports easily.
So I've been having this m1530 since xmas of '08 and this problem has occurred since day 1. Basically, I bought this xps m1530 from the dell outlet and have loved it except for this d*** webcam. Originally had vista 32bit on it. Just upgraded to Win7 a couple days ago(loving it BTW), thinking it may solve it but nope. Everytime I try to start the webcam it sends my comp into a BSOD and then it restarts and functions as if nothing happened. No matter if I try using it through the webcam center, or on a video chatroom. I'm thinking it has to be driver related but I'm not sure.
