SOURCE: device manager is gone from control panel

In Windows XP it has moved. Double-click System, go to the Hardware tab and you will see it.

SOURCE: control panel does not show bluetooth icon. Why?

Run services.msc (which is the service management tool)
You should see a Bluetooth Support Service, set this to start and then have it automatically start with windows as well.

Bluetooth control panel application: bthprops.cpl


Bluetooth listed in my actual control panel.

However you may need to reinstall BT again and check for the properties of it.

Please check the steps and let me know if it works.

Webcam Disabled, dont know how to turn it back on?!??!

What OS are you running? All Windows versions have had the device manager since Win95 (at least). The route is Control Panel > System and Security > System > Device Manager in Win7 (open each section to look for the next item - double click). For the older versions of Windows, look for a similar System icon in the Control Panel Window and go through the layers.

I hope this helps.

Ive downloaded the driver from the jasco website and still after i anstall it the cam doesnt work. how do i get it to work?

Once the drivers are installed you should either see the web cam show up in "My computer" or in Control panel under scanners and cameras.

If it is not showing up in either of these locations, check your device manager.
On windows XP, go to Control panel, system, select the "hardware" tab and select device manager.
On windows vista or Windows 7, simply go to control panel and select Device manager.

In the device manager, you want to look under the "imaging devices" section to see if your web cam shows up there.
If it has a yellow ? or ! then you want to try and update the driver.

If it does not show up in device manager at all then try a different USB port.

I don't know what kind of cam I have?

1. Connect your web cam
  • Attach all power cords (e.g. laptop and/or web cam).
  • Plug your USB cam directly into your computer (do not use any external USB hubs). Turn your cam on
  • As long as your web cam and computer hardware are working, Windows should detect it!
2. Open Device Manager
  • For Vista
    => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Classic View, click Device Manager
    => Click Control Panel. If you have Control Panel Home View, click System and Maintenance->Device Manager
  • For XP
    => Click Control Panel->System, then Hardware tab, then Device Manager button
3. Find your web cam in Device Manager
  • Understanding Device Names
    => Windows provides user-friendly device names to accomodate us humans. As far as Windows is concerned, the device name is simply a comment!
    => It's those cryptic Device Identification strings that really identify a device
    => Device Manager displays whatever device name it happens to find in the device driver
    ...==> If Windows finds NO device driver, your web cam may be named “Unknown” or "Other" device
    ...==> If Windows finds the WRONG device driver you may see your web cam with the WRONG device name
  • How to find your web cam
    => While your web cam is connected, look through all of Device Manager for devices with a yellow icon (probably a yellow question mark)
    => Look if a device category Other Devices. Also, be certain to expand the USB category to check all devices listed under it
    => Your web cam will appear as a device with a yellow icon (probably a question mark)
    => Click on thumbnail to see the full sized image
    How to verify the device you found is your web cam
    => Your web cam device will only appear in Device Manager when the web cam is powered on and connected
    => Disconnect your web cam. Verify the device you had found is no longer displayed in Device Manager
4. Find your web cam's Hardware Ids
  • In Device Manager, select your web cam device, rt click Properties. Click Details tab
  • Select Hardware Ids from the pull-down. You'll see a list of one or more Hardware Id strings
