Fixing Chicony Webcam Error on Toshiba Satellite M200 Laptop
Posted by: admin In: Toshiba
Chicony USB 2.0 webcam has got error message appear “The driver
installation for this device is missing a necessary entry. This may be
because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later.” And it comes
constantly on Toshiba Satellite M200 laptop screen.
Problem of .INF file of Chiconi USB 2.0 camera like above occurred
because of the The “ClassGUID” of camera driver named “casflr.inf” was
incorrect to register the driver in Toshiba laptop that used Windows
Vista as the operating system. To resolve this problem you need to
correct it manually.
Begin to update by download and install the last software device
driver from Toshiba Support Page at:
http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_camera_26505A.exe.
Here you should see an error message or something like “Camera does
not work. Restart camera or computer”. It’s okay. Just continue to the
next steps.
Installed the Software Driver from Toshiba to update USB Device locate
under device manager. After choose one of the Chicony USB 2.0 Camera
You’ve got an error message or something again such… “The Register
Class for this device were incorrect”
First you need to get the correct class ID to register the device
driver for Chicony USB 2.0 Camera through the register edit by follow
this ways:
Click Start, Run, and type “regedit32.exe” to edit register program.
And find the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008&MI_00
Or you can also use another way by go to Edit Menu. Click Find and
type “Chicony USB 2.0 Camera” and press enter. Here you should find a
sub-key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008&MI_00\6&298da7b3&0&0000
Now is the important thing, above of the first key, find and click
another sub-key \SN0001 under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\VID_04F2&PID_B008
Find in the right window of the GWord named “ClassGUID”, click them
twice and copy the value in this window the series like:
{36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}.
That’s the correct class ID to register the device driver for Chicony
USB 2.0 Camera you looking for to put in the .INF file.
In the last steps I suggest that you’re already install the last
version of Toshiba Support Software Driver for Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.
If you don’t have it download here:
http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_camera_26505A.exe
Now open and edit the file “casflr.inf” you can find under “C:\Program
Files\Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba\driver\32bit\”.
In firsts line you have this:
Version
signature=”$CHICAGO$”
Class=Image
ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
Provider=%cec%
CatalogFile=casflr.cat
DriverVer=04/24/2007,6.2.208.0424
;LayoutFile=layout.inf
You need to replace the line or comment it (put “;” in the beginning
of the line) that contain “ClassGUID”:
ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
Now put a new line after the older line with the correct class ID
found in the register
ClassGUID={36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}
After modified .INF file completely it should be show like below:
Version
signature=”$CHICAGO$”
Class=Image
ClassGUID={6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f}
ClassGUID={36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}
Provider=%cec%
CatalogFile=casflr.cat
DriverVer=04/24/2007,6.2.208.0424
;LayoutFile=layout.inf
Save the files by press Crtl+S. And finally step is update driver. Go
to Control Panel => Device Manager => Another Devices. Right mouse
click on Chicony USB 2.0 Camera. Choose Update Driver and browse my
computer for device driver. Let me pick from a list of device driver,
choose USB Device.
You should see it will appear for 2 or 3 devices to choose, one of
these don’t have an icon and the name is different like “Chicony USB
Camera”, this is the correct one. Click and install. Now, an error
message of “non sign driver” will appear again. Just Click in
Continue. In case a fail message stay appears on your Toshiba
Satellite laptop, You can repeat the update steps again
