by

COMPAQ_logo

For HP Compaq Laptop users, if you are migrating to Windows 7, then you need to have some of the drivers compatible to Windows 7.

If you see, unlike Windows XP, Windows 7 supports most of the basic devices with its inbuilt drivers like the sound card. And even if it doesn’t support the device, it tries to download the driver from the internet and installs automatically.

For the Web Camera, the driver can be directly downloaded using device manager of Windows unlike in the case of Acer Laptop PC where you need a different driver download. But the Web Cam needs an additional application to run. Here we have given both how to download the driver and the Web Cam application.

Note: Connect your Compaq PC to the Internet before performing these steps.

Downloading the driver:

Open Device manager. Right click on Computer and select properties. In the properties click Device manager.

open_device_manager

Now Click on Scan for hardware changes button as shown below:

device_manager

scanning_hardware_changes

Under the Imaging devices section if your Web cam is already present then no need to download the driver. If it shows as an unrecognized device with a yellow exclamation symbol then, right click on it and select Update Driver Software…

update_driver_software

Select Search automatically.

update_driver_from_internet

It will automatically download and install the Driver software to your Compaq PC.

Install Web Cam Application Software:

You have to download the Cyberlink YouCam application software to run your Web camera. You can download it from the official hp link:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp37501-38000/sp37849.exe

Size: 49.5 MB

Extract it and install it. You can run your web cam and use it.

cyberlink youcam

The updating of the driver software is applicable to all the hardware devices in your computer. If any unrecognized device is found, then you can try updating the driver software.

The above given method has been tested successfully in Compaq Presario C783TU. Hope it will work for other models also. Any feedback can be posted as a comment below.

How to Find Your Location In Windows 7 Using Geosense

by

Geosense is a Windows Sensor that uses the Location and Sensors platform in Windows 7 accurately using IP lookup, WiFi and Cell tower triangulation positioning without the assistance of GPS hardware, enabling more practical location-based applications and scenarios on Windows 7.

Today most of the laptops are not equipped with GPS, so  the Windows 7’s new Sensors and Location platform is practically not much useful to the users. But with the help of Geosense, we can use this location sensor platform.

Geosense if free to download and it is available for  both 32 and 64 bit editions of Windows 7. Please note that Geosense will work only with Windows 7 editions having Location and Sensor platform. For example this functionality is not available for Windows 7 starter. All other higher editions have this feature.

Follow the instructions below to install and use Geosense For Windows.

Step 1: Download Geosense For Windows from the link below. Select your compatible edition while download.

Click Here to Download Geosense for Windows

Step 2: Install Geosense for Windows. Accept the agreement, and accept to install the device.

Step 3: After successfully installing the sensor, Click on Start button and type geo in the search box. Click on Enable Location and other sensors.

Open Geosense for windows

Step 4: Select the enabled Check Box and Apply.

enable Geosense for windows

Step 5: Now on the desktop right click, and open Gadgets. Double click on Weather. You can see your location in the Weather gadget as shown.

Weather Gadget for windows 7

Once you have added the gadget, you can see the Location in the desktop Weather gadget as shown below. My location shown here in Delhi, India.

But the location sensor displaying only the location in the gadget is not quite impressing. As there in not much of Location aware Windows 7 applications, Geosense has made a Google Maps Client Demo to make use of the sensor in a proper way. Hope that in near future we will be able to use this Windows 7 Location sensing feature in a proper way.

Acer Crystal Eye Web Camera Driver for Windows 7

by

There has been a lot of problem for Acer Laptop users while migrating to Windows 7. But if you see almost all of the drivers inbuilt in Windows 7 can handle the drivers for most of the devices except for devices like the Web Camera.

Today, we have faced the same problem while trying to upgrade the Acer Aspire PC to Windows 7 from XP. While, all of the other drivers will work by default and some of the drivers like the Intel Graphics Accelerator, Ethernet drivers can be seen in the Windows Update list as optional Updates which can be downloaded and installed automatically.

The only problem I faced is with the Acer Crystal Eye Web Camera driver. I have almost tried all of the available drivers but none worked. Most of the forums provided solutions to use the SUYIN NB Cam drive:

C:\\Windows\\SUYIN NB Cam\\LiveCam.exe

This one works but it was not the perfect solution.

Most of the drivers and applications available gives the same error out:

No Acer video capture device was detected on your system

Acer Cam Problem

After a lot of trial and error finally i have found the perfect solution for this problem. I have got this Acer Camera Suyin v.5.2.5.3 which is made for Windows 7. After installing this, I restarted the system and it worked against all odds.

Download the Driver from the link below. Install it and restart the system. Once successfully done, start the Acer Crystal Eye webcam. It should work. No other drivers are required.
