VAIO Z - Webcam software for windows XP

ZenonZ — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:12:01 GMT

I've downgraded my VAIO Z to Windows XP following the instructions provided, but webcam software is not installed and I can't find it in the support page for my VAIO.
Do you know where can I find it?
Thanks!!!

Sony only provide a camera driver for XP - they do not provide the Arcsoft Software, presumably because it is designed to run on Vista/Windows 7.

I don't know if it will run on XP but you can try downloading it from the Sony US website. Scroll down to 'Camera':

Thank you very much for your answer, but that download only works for Windos Vista and Windows 7 😞

In XP you used to be able to open the Camera Window from the 'My Computer' screen where it appears as a device. This was stopped with Vista.
