    Original Surface Book "Can't start camera"


    I have been using my Surface Book camera mostly for zoom and webex. I have not had to use it since June 11, 2021 until yesterday July 13, 2021. I mostly turn it on briefly for other things, do windows updates, and turn it off. I did everything in Camera doesn't work in Windows 10 microsoft.com to try to fix it. I also tried downloading most recent firmware drivers from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49497 and I tried to use the surface diagnostic toolkit. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/fix-common-surface-problems-using-the-surface-diagnost

    Amazon audible books on the surface original

    One of the many things I have not been able to do with this computer is listen to my audible books. I'm not computer savvy so if anybody can step by step a process to download and listen to my audible books from amazon. I have the original surface with
    RT. I'd appreciate any help.
