PROBLEMS WITH THE VAIO CAM

[jalcarazs]

Hi Everybody:

I need some help. I have a VAIO notebook VGN-SZ5XNC and I have a problem with the cam. Sometimes it works, but other times appears this: An Attempt to initialize de camera failed. Please check if another software is using the camera. i dont no what's the problem because i've never used it. What should i do?

The camera installed is VGP-VCC5.

Thank you very much.

I'm getting this same error with my VGP-VCC6 on my VGN-AR41M. It's the newest error I've had with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've gone out and bought a Logitech Quick Cam Pro for Notebooks now, but it'd be nice if the hardware I paid for worked when I wanted, not just when it wanted.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm using the standard VAIO Camera Capture Utility when I get this error. Other capture programs sometimes show a preview, and sometimes do not do anything at all. Windows can't find a more up-to-date driver at all, so I don't really know what I can do.
