    Hi everybody,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-AH5, recently I have been having trouble with my webcam. Before my webcam with only the program it came with on the laptop, it wouldnt work with MSN messenger. Now it only works with MSN and no longer works in its own program. On top of that, everytime I turn on my computer or open the webcam software, there is a pop up error message. It says "Webcam driver open fail. please restart webcam or computer." I've tried restarting the computer and it doesnt work.

    Someone please help me :(

    -Maggie

    You need to download a new driver from Toshiba's website. Just follow the links and you should be fine.

    If the suggestion above doesn't work, post your problem on Toshiba Forum section.
    You should get better help there.
