OK my laptop has in built webcam and mic, but all my drivers are out dated or missing, now Ive tried all sorts bit its not working, ive looked on the Toshiba site for windows 7 the make of my Lappy all sort and falling short of chucking the lap top out the window it's driving me crazy. Has any one got any(trusted) links to any free sites so i can up date please??

Am needing web cam for my step son who's in the army out in Cyprus , Skype is the best free option we have to keep in touch..
My sound driver says the mic is working but on the speaking sound tests, its not working!! Am so confused.

driver boost pro. i used a similar program (affiliated with a big name like microsoft/ norton) to fix a driver problem my parents had with their sound. it cost £20 but it saved me taking the pc to bits to find some ****ty little serial number

Hi betty_b

If you want to know what drivers you have installed go to the command prompt and type "driverquery" (without the quotes), then go to "device manager" from here you can update all drivers, or if you want go to Google type in "double driver" you'll get a few places you can download from and it's free...hope this helps.

that query thing doesnt work for me so another way to do what activist is saying is:
from the start menu select CONTROL PANEL.
then select SYSTEM.
then click the tab called HARDWARE.
then you got device manager just sat there and some other **** too.

Hi tommysize1

sorry about the confusion, what I should have said was if you want to check the drivers on the computer you can use the command prompt "driverquery". But to update drivers you can use the device manager, once it's open just left click on an entry then right click on the dropdown entry click on properties this will open a box which will tell you the state of the driver and let you update, dissable or uninstall, normally just opening the device manager will give you a clue as the yellow warning triangle (if it's there) tells you something is amiss.
