Chicony web camera doesn't work on toshiba satellite a3

Hi,

The chicony web camera doesn't work on my toshiba satellite a350-12d and windows 7 64 bit..

I always get different errors like
"graph render fail"
"the device is locked by another program"
etc..

I tried many things and look on a lot of posts but nothing works. I have installed many drivers and programs to solve it but nothing works.
at first the camera was ok but now nothing seems to help and the camera is down..

can you help me??

Thanks!

That's the only thing under Chicony web camera - hardware ids.

Thanks.

one more thing..
I don't know if you know but any way, this chicony problem with toshiba and many other brands is very common but I just can't find a solution and I think that's the same problem with everybody else..

I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop that I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 x64. Make sure when you download the driver from Toshiba's website that you click the plus, because there were 2 released and one works and one doesn't. Make sure you download the one with the latest date.

Can you give the link to the one that does work please..
I tried to install many different files and drivers but until now nothing goes good.

Have you tried installing the latest Chicony Webcam driver software from your Toshiba product home page?
latest is version 1.7.231.1126
Download it, right click the file - select compatibility tab and check the following settings

then hit ok and install as usual

That's a Vista driver or it's good for Windows 7 also?
I'm downloading it right now, hope for good.

Maybe can you give me the exact files/drivers you have been using?
