Hi TP'ler,
ich habe ein Problem mit der integrierten Webcam meines X300 - das Problem habe ich bereits im Lenovo-Forum beschrieben, leider ohne problemlösende Antworten. Habt ihr eine Idee?
I am running Windows 7 on my Thinkpad X300 since Microsoft released Windows 7 Beta. At the beginning, there was quite some trouble with many drivers, but the embedded webcam driver was working well though. When upgrading to Windows 7 RC, a couple of updates have been released in the meantime, so more IBM/Lenovo software was working well.
Right now, I am running Windows 7 Professional, downloaded all recent driver updates and reinstalled them. Everything is working fine now - except the power management and the embedded webcam. The former is not important for me right now, but the latter one even more. Unfortunately, it is not working at all. It is regularly mentioned in the section "imaging devices" of the device manager without any error. I was using the driver "7tca21ww.exe" for the webcam.
However, when trying to use Skype, there is only a blank screen in the webcam preview window. In another thread, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-RTM-Discussion/Windows-7-Webcam-driver/m-p/155292, there was a tool mentioned called AMCap, but it is also not working though (terminates evoking the error message "Unable to render the video preview stream - the parameter is incorrect. [0x80070057 / 11878]. Also in another thread, this driver http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-66973.html was noticed to be working. Unfortunately, this is not working neither.
Any advice on this issue is very much appreciated.
