that meant for vistas only? since im using windows 7 now
If you are using the camera that comes with the notebook and
assuming your default installation/restoration disc runs on Vista,
it does not work with the original camera since it was for Windows
7. (Note: since you never really explained from the beginning
exactly either whether it was a camera that comes with the notebook
with OS upgraded from Vista to Win7)
Even though you have the notebook model, certain notebook
assemblers do provide different specifications (and thus, different
parts for similar models), therefore, a need to establish the exact
model and brand of camera which they had obtained. Some OEM
manufacturers do provide their drivers on their own sites.
Assuming your model is default to what Sony originally
assembled... and you have no clue but have the setup file for
installing the camera, you can perform the following:
