Miche_Love_You,

Welcome to ClubVaio.

Does the Camera show as being installed in Device Manager?

What Version of VCCU do you have installed?

What Driver (Version) are you using?

What model of Vaio do you have?

Are you using Skype too?

Maybe... this post can help you... here

thanks for your reply.
I have done the things GoodLuc said on the other thread but it dusn't seem to work. the anwers to your questions:
- yes, the camera is in the list
- 2.2.00.22110 On the website of vaio stood that this is the latest version
-I'm not sure what you mean with driver. Is it VGP-VCC4 ?
- the model is VGC-LA3
- no, I don't
When I open VCCU and try to select the VGP-VCC4 or set for auto-selection, then underneath it says:
Current camera: None

Have you this Microsoft Hotfix installed ?

On a Windows Vista-based computer, the Sony VAIO Camera Capture Utility (VCCU) may not work correctly until you restart it
