I'm getting the error message of "webcam not found or is not working properly / please click connect button and try again" when i go into arcsoft.
How do I fix this? My cam worked fine a few weeks ago, I have no idea what would have caused this glitch. Is there a driver I can uninstall/reinstall?
im trying to get the dang thing to work w/ something on my vista x64 sz-491n laptop. ive tried several things already.
1) download the original file but its only x86 when extracted..no x64 bit files like the later model sz's. ive used have disk method for the x86 files and just a black screen in camera capture utility.
2) i took my working x64 vista webcam driver from my sz650n vcc7 and modified inf to make it a vcc5 and used have disk method w/o luck also.
i dunno why sony had to make a different webcam driver for each model sz. anyone understand how i can get this to work w/ x64 bit on my sz491n machine? or even windows 7 x64 bit even because i could upgrade if i had to.
To all of you who have had or still having problem in getting your webcam to work or get detected by your laptop try this.
Almost everyone who has formatted their hard drives and/or done a clean install of the OS has come into contact with this problem from what I have read...
Uninstall all Dell webcam software and download and install ManyCam webcam software, by all accounts the Dell webcam software is the villain here.
Once this is installed your webcam should now be detected by the system and now work. ManyCam is a freeware program I have no means of testing this due to the fact all my systems are M1330 XPS.
just had the dell tech round on friday to replace my motherboard, and have since discovered my webcam isnt working.
I get the message "No supported camera detected, please plug in to continue" in Dell Webcam Manager.
Also the webcam does not show up in device manager.
When the system powers on the webcam light does not flash...
So basically, i think he forgot to plug in the webcam to the new motherboard, or its a loose connection, does this sound about right??
If so would it be a reasonably easy job for me to rectify?
I cant really be bothered with going through the hassle of diagnosing the fault with someone over the phone who i cant really understand, then have to find some free time to have the tech come round and fix it, when he will probably mess something else up in the process.
I have the service manual for this laptop (M1530) but cant seem to find anything in there.

I've had my laptop for about one and half years now, and so far the webcam has been working fine. Today though, it stopped functioning. At first I thought it was the microphone and webcam, but I tested the microphone and that's working. The only thing not working is the webcam.
I tried restarting. I tried looking up the driver and making sure it was all set. At that point, I realized I didn't even have a webcam installed (which is what my programs were telling me but I didn't believe).
I then searched on this forum to find a solution and another member posted that removing the bevel and sticking the little plug back in should work. I tried it and it didn't. (I'm also concerned that I did this with my computer on... Have I done any serious damage?)

i recently bought my W520 and everything works just fine - except for the internal webcam.
I installed the drivers (current version) from the Lenovo web site but the webcam won't turn on. The green just wouldn't turn on and when I press Fn+F6 the communication tool shows up without any webcam video. Same thing for skype or any other webcam tool.
Sometimes after booting it works for a few seconds but then the image freezes and it won't start again until after several system restarts.

Thinkpad W520 (4276), Core i7-2760QM
Windows 7 64 Bit Professional
i just installed windows 8.1 on hp 430 laptop but now my webcam is not working and on board mic is not working and bluetooth is also not working.

Webcam doesn't work for YouCam or Skype, haven't tried anything else because that's all I need it for. YouCam says "CyberLink YouCam coult not capture the content." and skype just buffers a black screen when I go to video settings. Both have "HP Truvevision HD" selected as the webcam and in device manager under imaging devices "HP Truvevision HD" is there and updated. The laptop was restored to factory setting, I installed Windows updates along with making sure the drivers are updated. Nothing has been unistalled and not much has been installed.
My webcam has been working fine with all programs (skype, aim, websites, etc) until yesterday. Now, it just shows a black sceen and when I try to access it on websites I get error messages saying the webcam can not be found. When I look under my devices, it says the webcam is installed and my drivers are up to date. I tried reinstalling the drivers but that didn't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently got this computer. When I got it, i tried the webcam and it worked ok. The second time I tried to use it, with the "Camera" Windows app, I get a message that says "To get started, connect a camera".
I googled for solutions and discovered that the "Imaging devices" category had disappeared from the Device Manager.
I downloaded several drivers, and the only one that worked was this one. After installing it, the camera worked ok, and the "Imaging devices" reappeared in the device manager. However, after rebooting the computer, the camera stopped working again and the "imaging devices" category disappeared as well.
This is a temporal solution because everytime I want to use the camera I have to install the drivers first, knowing that sooner or later the camera will stop working and the device will not be recognized by Windows anymore.
My webcam stopped working all of a sudden. I have HP ENVY dv6-7258nr Notebook PC with Windows 8. The camera app says "Connect a camera." and the device manager does not show "Imaging Devices". Instead there is "Other Devices" which has a subcategory of "Unknown Devices" with a yellow mark.
I have updated, reinstalled cyberlink youcam drivers, tried system restore (which does not complete saying i have an anti virus open when i don't have any antivirus on my notebook) but nothing works. Scanning for hardware does not bring up any thing. I have also followed the instructions given on hp site and opened the youcam software but it does not detect the camera.
I'm using HP Pavillion dv6 1330-er. The problem is - both my mic and webcam mic were working fine untill yesterday's morning. The evening before i was talking with my friend on skype and then gone to sleep. When i woke up - both mic input and webcam mic weren't working. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ... Nothing like this happened before.
Webcam video itself working fine. Headphones working fine.Tried to reinstall driver - didnt work. Laptop was resting on the table, just like i left it in the evening. Have 2 different windows installed on my laptop (the another one is windows XP, not a single program installed, just drivers) - mics aren't working.
The same mic on different PC working fine.The system detects both headphones mic and webcam mic and the system shows when i'm taking headphones' mic in and out.
I have an L540 refurb I got a couple months ago, and the webcam suddenly stopped working. Here's what it looks like when I try to use it anywhere.

Drivers installed for the webcam are :
ksthunk.sys
usbvideo.sys
Issues:
1) running in normal Windows 7 x64 base machine (not VMWare)
a) after booting the laptop I can use the webcam
b) I run an app to capture an image and it works fine. I then close the app.
c) I open Skype and use the webcam and then Exit Skype.
d) I open the app again and it says - could not detect webcam device (assuming this comes from the app)
f) I open Skype and check the webcam and it works. I stop the webcam (Skype still running)
g) I start the app again and now the webcam works
h) I Quit Skype, runthe app again, and it now says - could not detect webcam device
That is just for the Laptop running as is.
2) VMWare
now in VMWare, this is worse.
a) I attach the Webcam
b) I run the same app, but it says - could not detect webcam device
c) I close VWMare
d) Now no app detects the webcam, not the app, not Skype.
e) I check the Device Manager and in fact the webcam now does not even appear in the Dedvice Manager...
I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers for the camera. It does not work in any application.
I've seen a few threads about this but not 100% if there's been a resolution...
