    Hi guys. I´m new on the forum. Last week i bought a new Toshiba Satellite A215-s7444. I´m very happy with it it´s a great laptop.
    BUT

    I´m having some problems with my integrated webcam (1.3 megapixels) when I activate it from the toolbar that apears on the left side of my screen, it usually doesn´t work. It appears a message "GRAPH FAIL" an after several times of doing the same the screen showing the message stops appearing, but the webcam is not workin either.

    This happens sometimes, there are times that when I start the webcam, it works fine, with the blue light on and a very good image.

    What should I do???
    please help me, I can´t go to the store where i bought it (Circuicit) because right now I´m living in Mexico and i won´t be in the USA soon.

    Thanks for the help.

    I have A200, and sometimes, it says it can't start up or something or being used by another program and the blue light won't come, a reboot fixes that usually, but hasn't been a problem lately.

    I've got an A210 (UK version) and on Toshiba's site there are is an updated version that was released at the begining of November. I've installed the new version, and it seems to be running a bit smoother; moving the window around was juddery before (now it's not). So it's probably worth checking that you have the newest version.
