Need old drivers and software for Toshiba Pdr-2 digital camera..

If the drivers are from the Toshiba website then continue!

if not then you need to confirm the USB port chip on your laptop is from Intel before continuing or there will be a conflict!

Many Toshiba laptops, including Satellite, Portege and Qosmio models, feature built-in Chicony-brand webcams.

The Chicony webcam can be problematic, especially when running a 32-bit version of Windows Vista.

Microsoft has released an update that will correct problems with starting the webcam after terminating "Sleep" mode.

Users may also have to install the appropriate driver or webcam software to correct webcam problems.

Dark or Black Webcam Image Problems

Toshiba laptop owners may have problems with the webcam displaying as dark or completely black a few seconds after the initial image appears or immediately after engaging the webcam.

Users should ensure that the webcam indicator light is engaged.

If not, users should run the "Camera Assistant Software" to turn on the webcam.

Low light can cause the webcam to power off and to display a dark image.

Users can tweak the light and contrast by manually increasing the lighting in the room or by turning on "Night Mode."

If these steps do not correct the dark image problem, users may have to reset the webcam itself, reinstall the "Camera Assistant" software.

Webcam Problems After Terminating Sleep Mode

Toshiba laptop owners with Windows Vista (any 32-bit edition) installed and the Chicony webcam may have problems starting the webcam after restoring the laptop from "Sleep" mode.

"Sleep" mode powers down a number of hardware components in the laptop.

The webcam is capable of entering a non-operating system-induced sleep mode when it is not used for an extended period of time.

After the user engages Windows "Sleep" mode and wakes the laptop, the webcam may give error messages such as "Locked by another application."

This webcam problem can be corrected by installing a Windows Hotfix, which is also included in Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).
Webcam Problems After Upgrading Windows Vista

Toshiba Satellite laptop owners may opt to use the Microsoft Anytime Upgrade to upgrade to Vista Ultimate.

After doing so, the Chicony webcam may stop working and report a "Please turn on the camera" error message.

Users can correct this problem by reinstalling the Chicony driver.

Webcam Problems on Linux

Linux users who own Toshiba laptops with the Chicony webcam should install the Linux UVC Driver to make the webcam functional. The webcam may not work without this driver.

Grainy or Blurry Webcam Image

The Chicony webcam can produce grainy or blurry images if the user does not remove the protective film that covers the external webcam interface.

on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for
IE: webcam name webcam driver you might have to try a few times to get it right

software if you dont have the driver you will need to download one here rather doing a driver hunt which can take hours

Windows XP/Vista/7/8

It might take some time being a freeware driver solution

note: it will find all of your outdated drivers

this is a free driver solutions

this will automatically search for and find the correct driver
you will have to update every driver individually once you update you might be asked whether you

want to restart or make a system restore point click no to both of these then continue updating each driver free then restart once all of the drivers have been updated

Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right.

But is does not harm to check if your Java, Flash and Quicktime software are installed and up to date.
But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing.

Try downloading the latest DirectX version and install it (Windows XP: DirectX 9.0c - Windows Vista: DirectX 10).

Hello Bill,
In situations like this, you will need to get in touch with eBay Image Service team. Please go to this link: https://cschatlb-na.corp.ebay.com/chat.asp?profile=13

you need to: 1 backup any documents you want to save 2 download powermax (low level format utility) - http://digilander.libero.it/YorkOne/powermax/ - download and burn to cd >>> powermax-4.09.iso
3 have a copy of windows w/ valid serial key - also have discs for any other programs you will need to reinstall (ms office, virus protection, etc...) 4 dowload and run win driver expert ( backs up all your drivers) - http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/WinDriver-Expert.shtml - save the backup of the drivers to a cd or flashdrive - i suggest you save the actual program to the flashdrive or cd as well AFTER you have done all that: insert the powermax cd into the laptop or cpu and boot it up. Run powermax (you are formatting the main drive) insert your windows cd and reboot cpu (install windows) reinstall your drivers reinstall your applications and virus software - remember DONT go online to do updates until you installed the virus scan software and updated the virus definitions ( u dont want to have to do this all over again because of a virus, lol)
