Sony webcam no longer works with windows 7

Your original Sony customised version of Windows included some dedicated webcam software plus webcam drivers. It is probable that you need both the software and the drivers from the Sony support website. The question is will the software work without you having a Sony customised version of Windows. Usually, it will work so try downloading and installing them. Check here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNFZ220U&upd_id=3092&os_group_id=10

And here. Study the page carefully to make sure you've chosen the correct operating system and that you have expanded the view by clicking "Open File List", etc.

Are you sure prog loaded, I ask because if you are upgrading from prem7 64 to Ultimate32, it should fail to load? You must have installed Ultimate 64. Apart from the blue tooth is it running OK??

You need the Win7 camera driver, check sony support at:

just enter your Win7 operating system (there are 9 versions of Win7), and select the downloads (2)
for your computer camera driver.

Versions of microsoft Win7 - determine which yours is by (these instructions are for WinXP);

START > Control Panel > System > General (tab)

Hi nhung_nguyen,

You can download the Webcam drivers for your Sony Notebook from manufacturer website. Click here to go to the web page of your laptop for drivers.
Click on Download Now to download the WebCam Companion® 3 Software and run the setup.

NOTE: Unfortunately the driver supports only Microsoft® Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

If this information was helpful, please rate it.

Thank you for using fixya,

use the 32 bit explorer found in all programs your webcam is not 64 bit compatable.

As if now windows 7 drivers are not available but you dont have to worry because Basic system functionality should be automatically enabled with the drivers included within the Windows 7 operating system.
However, if one of the drivers that came with the operating system does not work with your system, you can try installing the Windows Vista version of the driver provided by Sony for your model. Many of the Windows Vista drivers are compatible with Windows 7 based on current testing. Make sure you choose the bit version (32-bit or 64-bit) that matches your version of Windows 7.
