Windows 7: Sony Vaio VGN-FZ140E Motion Eye and SD Card Reader

Hi,



Since I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit from Vista, the webcam and sd card reader that are built into my laptop will not work. I have searched for drivers on the Sony site and they have not worked, and I have also downloaded some Ricoh drivers but to no avail.

I wonder if anyone knows the solution to get my webcam and sd reader back in action.

Thanks!

Memory Card Driver, and you can search the links in my sig for a camera driver.

Thanks! Memory card driver worked great.

However for the webcam, I am still having some issues. I followed the instructions from http://www.ralphg.com/public/Webcam-readme.txt and my webcam is now recognized from my computer. The only problem is that my webcam screen is black; I didn't download the 'spic' driver from the website in your sig since my model is not listed; is that what is causing the black screen?

Thanks

Just posted a new link with drivers for all VGN-FZ???? Sony Vaio laptops:

X64 drivers for Vaio VGN-FZ series laptops..

I have the same problem, my webcam are recognized from my notebook (Sony Vaio VGN-SZ780N), but when webcam is active, i see only a screen black too.
My system now = Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Please, How do you fix this problem?!?

I managed to get the VGP-VCC4 motion eye webcam working my Vista 64bit installation on my Sony FZ180E by installing the XP64bit drivers.

Maybe the drivers will work for Windows 7 64bit? i dont know, but it may be worth a try...maybe compatibility mode

I run windows 7 32 bit and just installed the 32 bit drivers from the original drivers package on VAIO : Sony Europe
There was a file in Camera Driver (Ricoh) 6..211F - 6.1004.211.0_logo called DPInst32 and DPInst64 the latter of which which may help those on the 64 bit version.
After a bit of time and the post on this site i have my VGN-FZ21 Z fully running with no problems following an upgrade from Vista home to Windows 7 professional 32 bit. I tried the 64 bit version but problems with the NVIDA graphics made me happier with 32 bit. I think the system only accepts 4gb of ram anyway so with 32 bit recognising 3gb it is a good improvement over vista. Keep at it you will get it all working again.
