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

It didn't work for me, still need help

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

Windows 7 uses Vista drivers :)

I also get this massage on the web camera assistant if it will help:
Access violation at address 0051A7DF in module 'CEC_MAIN.exe' read address 00000000.

Someone knows how to solve it? :)

What about the one in my earlier post, if it's the same than don't otherwise try it.

Also, wasn't good. says "graph render fail" or "no preview"...

Maybe someone with the same problem that solve that already...?

This is so wrong Toshiba doesn't care about his costumers!!
I saw like a million posts like mine and even no 1 good answer about how to solve it!

Here is the link that to the driver I used on Windows 7 x64 for my Chicony webcam on my Toshiba Satellite P305D. This is from Toshiba's website and works perfectly for me. Before installing go to device manager and if your webcam is recognized by Windows right click on it in device manager and click uninstall and then reboot. Then install this driver: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/cont...C70062800B.exe

Good Luck my friend.

I have not come across this message before, at least not after installing a driver/ulility. I'm thinking you may even have some kind of issue with the device itself. Anything in the event logs on this?

Are you able to do a system restore?

If not, i'd say re-install w7.

I guess that this is what I'll do..
