Hi Raymond,

The camera device driver for the VGP-VCC2 camera is the same driver for both XP and Vista.

You can download it with the Original Drivers Package for the AR21S from here: -

http://support.vaio.sony.eu/computing/vaio/downloads/preinstalled/index.aspx?l=en_GB&m=VGN-AR21S

All the other drivers are designed for XP - so you just need the Camera Driver.

I attach it below just in case!!

Hi Raymond.

Try this: -

1. Find the uninstalled USB Camera device in Device Manager and double-click on it.
2. Go to Driver tab and select Update Driver.
3. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
4. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
5. Select Have Disk....
6. Select Browse....
7. Browse to your downloaded driver .inf file. (\\Drivers\Camera\VGP-VCC2\5U870CAP.INF)
8. Next ..........
9. If you get a warning screen, select "Install Anyway".
10. Close & Re-Boot

If successfully installed it will show as "Sony Visual Communication Camera - VCC2" in Device Manager.

Hello,

That is exactly my problem: the inf file: Drivers\Camera\VGP-VCC2\5U870CAP.INF is not part of the zip file you attached.

please help
