Vista - Sony's built-in camera causes windows vista shut down

I bought a Sony vaio laptop with vista OS, 2 months ago. The built in camera
is causing ‎errors and shutting windows down unexpectedly. This is the
message I got from ‎Microsoft: Problem caused by Ricoh Camera Driver
This problem was caused by Ricoh Camera Driver. Ricoh Camera ‎Driver was
created by RICOH Company Limited.‎
Microsoft has been unable to contact the manufacturer and has no ‎further
information available at this time.‎
Recommendation
For more information about Ricoh Camera Driver, go online to the ‎RICOH
Company Limited website:‎
RICOH Company Limited
If you are unable to fix this problem and continue to receive errors, ‎you
can also remove Ricoh Camera Driver.‎
I checked RICOH'S web site and found no camera driver for windows ‎vista.‎

Then you are SOL!

The driver would be HP's responsibility or that of the camera manufacturer.
Until a driver update is available from them, is there not a means of
disabling the integrated camera? That should prevent it from causing the
system to crash.

i also bought a hp pavillion dv6000,and built in web cam does not work.
info comes up saying web cam is being used by another program or does not
work.

any fixes to this,and also how does one find out what other program may be
using this if that is the situation.
