built in webcam locked by another application
I have recently purchased a new Toshiba laptop and it has come with a built-in webcam with the name Chicony. This webcam works normally when I start the computer for sometime but later when I want to use it again with some messengers or with the chicony software, I am getting a message that is saying something that it is locked by some another application but i have verified that no other application uses it? And other thing is that the chicony software wont start even when i launch it sometimes. How do i solve this problem.
Re: built in webcam locked by another application
Have you tried checking the Toshiba official website for any latest version of the webcam software or driver? You can also check the software that you have installed on your computer if it is loading in the startup menu and then try to disable it. For going into startup menu, you have to click on start and then type msconfig in the search bar and then a windows will pop-up and there you have to click on startup tab.
Re: built in webcam locked by another application
2 Weeks ago I have bought this laptop and I have already checked on the Toshibe site for the latest driver but there are not any i suppose. I also checked many people having this same problem with their units and webcam. I have also tried the option to go into msconfig and disabling it from the startup tab but when the cam is loaded, then also it doesnt work. Is there any other solution. Thanks for the reply though.
