install webcam on msi laptop

Hi 1papertiger,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Wilfred P.

upgrade msi laptop from Windows 7 Home 32bit to Windows 10 32 bit Failure

Thank you for your suggestion. Upon checking the msi web site, it looks as of now my GX720 laptop is not listed as upgradeable to windows 10. I guess I can stop trying for now.

Help needed for periodic BSODs on MSI laptop

Yes, please run memtest86 twice in succession for a total of 8 passes. Your WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR is telling you it is an unknown hardware problem. The fact that no dump is written suggests it could be related to the drive. I would also run a full range of disk tests. Start with HDtune. Diagnostics Test [/i] HDD TEST *Arrow Run HDTune to

check the health,

scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan

run a benchmark.

It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly. When above is done please make screenshots of the following

the health,

the error scan,

the benchmark incl. following

transfer rate,

access time,

burst rate,

cpu usage.

Click to expand...

I believe I ran this hard drive scan yesterday and nothing out of the ordinary showed up in the benchmark, no bad sectors.. I will test it again and post the results. I will also post the results of memtest, I left it while I went to work so hopefully it has not booted to Windows while I was out - - - Updated - - - I have completed the tests First pass of memtest86

Second pass

And the results from HDTune which for some reason does not show the health of the OS drive
