Hi my motion eye on my vaio has all of a sudden decided to show just a black screen when being used, i have tried uninstalling old drivers, installing new ones, some giving me the blue screen of deathh and restarting my pc when i try to use the cam. Can anybody shed some light on my problem.
I have gogled but not found anything that seems to work for my specific model.
Please someone give me a link to somebody who has had this problem previously and fixed it. Thanks for your time.

Hi ian1982 ,Welcome to the forums here is the link to the drivers you require ftp://ftp.vaio-link.com/PUB/VAIO/WIN7UPGRADE/ also have a look at this thread it may help you Sony Vaio VGN-FZ140E Motion Eye and SD Card Reader

Thanks for welcoming me and helping me out, but which one of those drivers is suposed to help me on that list???? None of them look like they are cam drivers. Do i have to go to the higher level directory and go into the camera section? If so which one should help me then?

Yes go into the higher level > cameras and choose your model , if you tell us the lappys model # we may be able to help you further

Ive got a VPCF11Z1E

Looking at the sony ftp site , I do not find your driver , your lappy is a recent introduction, was win7 pre installed on it ? and did you receive the recovery discs did you follow the link to the thread i posted ? there is quite a lot of relevent information and other links to follow

have you tried a system restore prior to when the problem began ? System Restore also run the sfc /scannow command to see if you have any corrupted system files SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker hope this helps you :)

I have done a system restore already, it messed a few things up like stopping me from being the administrator and i had to restore again to get permissions back, luckily got everything back, so im back where i was in the first place, i might try another restore, failing that, give up. Do you know what driver/s on that list is purely for the webcam? As at the bottom theres a few vaio programs.

Hi ian , Without knowing the model # of the webcam I cannot tell you which driver to use When you reinstalled win7 did you load the Sony software in the correct order?
1= Sony shared library
2= setting utility series
3= Vaio event services
4= Vaio control centre
If the above software is installed incorrectly it can lead to problems
