sony web camera

I have a Sony laptop, VGN-FZ190.

Anyone know where I can get working drivers for the built in web cam? Sony only provides 32bit based drivers. I did install their version anyway, but the video frame area shows blue screen and "no input found" message.

I have Vista Ultimate x64

Re: sony web camera

any idea what the make of the webcam is? you could try the vimicro drivers on 64bitdrivers.com: free x64 downloads, no registration, no popups. home or find out the make of the camera and then request the driver on the same site.

It should be something like 'input device'.

You can list some of those that appear in the unknown devices list and I`ll see if I can figure out which.

Every time I choose to uninstall that usb video device, it returns automatically. If I choose update driver, it gives me the message shown in the image

Re: sony web camera

you can't uninstall the usb video device as its not installed in the first place. you need to choose that from the list and then select 'update device driver' then point to the directory where the drivers are and hopefully you should be able to install the drivers (if they're compatible) from there.

Re: sony web camera

Did you actually look at the screenshots I gave? I tried already.

And how do you figure its not installed when it shows as installed in device manager??? If it wasn't installed properly, it would show the yellow icon.
