    I have a L300/L300D, I have taken vista off and put windows XP on. The webcam wont show up on it. I went to currys and they told me that I had invalidated the warranty by changing the operating system surely not. The question is how can I get the web cam back please

    Hi guys i have also facing the same problem like" webcam driver open fail. Please restar camera or computer" message. As you guys talk earlier i have tried all possible as discussed in pervious forum but could not able to solve it. I have satellite pro A300 laptop with model "PSAG1A". Now i am using xp and i have tried it all the way by installing/unstalling camera asstant software, Hide MS program frm msconfig..etc but no use.. I tried to download the driver from toshiba's web site but it only contains the assistant software not the driver. And as well my laptop is not showing any web cam device at device manager. Previously it was working well. Any body figure out what's going on????
