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!

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

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.

Thank you, your signature links have been very helpful. Trying to get everything functional on a VGN-FZ140E in Win7 64 also. My only hope is that installing 32-bit drivers or software meant for Vista will not have any negative effects on the computer's performance. Seems alright so far..

I just wanted to say thank you FZ21Z. Sony's website is rubbish for support and the drivers for the SD card worked perfectly on my VGN NR32L/S running Window's 7.

thanks,

try this one from the Driverguide.com site
the original Sony FTP/HTTP links from older posts do not work anymore (Sony seems to have gotten rid of those old drivers :( )
