    Hi -

    I've seen a lot of messages about this on the web, but nothing definitive to fix the problem.

    I acquired a Toshiba Satellite X205 S9800, and am running WinVista 64-bit.

    When I first got this, the built-in camera worked fine. However, it no longer does. While I can use the camera with Skype, anytime I try to launch it independently using the accompanying camera assistant software (Chicony) I get a CEC.EXE_MAIN crash. This is in the details box:

    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: CEC_MAIN.exe
    Application Version: 1.7.8000.182
    Application Timestamp: 00000000
    Fault Module Name: StackHash_fd00
    Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0
    Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000
    Exception Code: c0000005
    Exception Offset: 00000000
    OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.1
    Locale ID: 1033
    Additional Information 1: fd00

    Additional Information 3: fd00
    Additional Information 4: ea6f5fe8924aaa756324d57f87834160


    Anyhow. Nothing seems to work. I've rolled back update. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. I have the latest driver from Toshiba's site. I'd like some specific help, please??? It's driving me crazy! :eek:

    Thanks!
