VGP-VCC2 with Skype

[Scaley_b]

Hi, I am having problems using the in built camera on my VGN-SZ1XP/C with Skype. The software doesn't seem to recognise it. The camera seems to work fine though. I have searched the threads for help and have come accross the updated drivers, but I think they are only if you have switched to Vista, which I haven't. I'm sure I have done or not done something daft, can anyone help?

Hi Ian and welcome to Club Vaio.

Check the camera is installed properly. Go to Device Manager -> Imaging Devices and check that the camera is installed as "Vaio Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2"

Check in C:\Program Files\Sony\Vaio Camera Utility and open Version.txt. Check you are using Version 1.x.x (for XP).

Check you are using the latest version of Skype 9.5.0.234. Go to Tools -> Options -> Video Settings and check the box "Enable Skype Video" and select "Vaio Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2" from the drop down box.
