How do I disable webcam in W7J?

Hi all, I just got my new ASUS W7J and still in the process of exploring it~ Excited -o-

Just have a question, how do I disable the webcam when I don't want to use it? It gets pretty hot~!

Thank you !!

 

You can go into Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and select your webcam, Right Click and disable it.

 

thanks derrick!!
Last question for now...
When I start my computer, it always tell me that My security platform is not initialized, and when I click it, and start its initialization wizard it says :
"The Security Platform Chip must be enabled to initialize the Security Platform. Please refer to the BIOS section of your system board manual on how to enable the Security Platform Chip."

What can I do to make it disappear? Is this security thing important? What is it about???

thanks alot !!

 

its not very important, i actually haven't heard anyone talk about using it. It's kinda like bloatware, just go to add/remove programs and remove it.

 

You can enable the TPM chip by entering the BIOS. Once in the BIOS, there is an option for you to enable the security chip.

TPM allows you to section off a portion of your harddrive and password protect it. There are also other security features that I don't remember off the top of my head.

I think the general consensus is TPM is more trouble then it's worth. To many it's too hard to setup. I have it setup and it's working great. If you don't want TPM you can uninstall it in the Add/Remove Programs option from Control Panel.

 

thanks all!!!!!!
