Hello,

I have a Sony Vaio Notebook VGN-CR510E with a built-in camera. My webcam used to work just fine, but now when i try to use it, it doesnt connect. It says it doesnt connect and the computer cannot find it when using Skype. I tried downloading the driver from the sony vaio website, but when i downloaded it, it said after the installation that it wasnt installed correctly. When I chose the option to install it with recommended settings it said that the driver works for Windows Vista only. And I have Windows Vista. I tried installing the driver in Safe Mode, but it didnt work. When I tried to fix it under Device Manager, it turned out that I dont have any Camera Drivers there. I tried using the Uninstall/Install Programs and Drivers under Recovery Center, but it didnt help. The other night windows updated the driver itself and it worked for 2 minutes and I cannot find anything that says when it was installed or what was wrong.

What should I do?

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 8.0

Hi,

No, I am sorry. I guess it is just broken :( I tried with a portable webcam, didnt have to install anything, worked with Arcsoft.
