How to solve Sony Visual Communication Camera compatability problem w. win 7

Hi!

I have a quite old lap top, sony vaio vgn-ar41l, and I have upgraded the system from "win vista x86" to "win 7 x86".

In my new system i cant find my "Sony Visual Communication Camera VCC6" in the device manager. I also cant install any drivers to make it work, even though I have tried to install them in vista compatability mode.

I think the camera device for sony vaio ar41l is called Sony Visual Communication Camera VCC6, as mentioned above.

Does anyone know a solution?

Have you carried out an 'Upgrade' or a 'Clean Install' of Windows 7.

The original Camera driver works OK with Windows 7 but you will find that Windows 7 tries to install a generic USB camera driver and this will not work.

Download the Original Drivers Package from here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGN-AR41L

Extract the files and look in the Camera Driver folder. Run DPInst32.exe to install the driver.

Download the Original Utilities Package from the same place and extract the files. Install the Camera Utility and the Camera Capture Utility.
