VAIO Motion Eye Camera stop working

Laptop: VGN-SR190E
Problem: USB Motion Eye Camera stop working
OS: Vista Edition Home Premium

The Sony Visual Communication Camera died in this laptop. I want to talk about the "Motion Eye" webcam above the screen.

In the Arcsoft window, frame (window of the camera) went black, screen resolution went to 176 x 144 (QCIF), whatever that means.
In addition, no image using Windows Live Messenger.

Worked very well (image capture), then quit. Removed and reinstalled the drivers. No help. In the properties of the device, he says: "this device works correctly. Well maybe, but no picture.

What else can I do to fix this?

I can't stand Vista another day. I ordered Windows 7. I hope that its an improvement. Could install Windows 7 remedy? I guess I'll find out.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you
Phil

Update: not working yet.

No help from this Forum, but I got the Motion Eye Cam working again. He would sometimes work for a minute or two and then quit. I thought it would be connected USB so I downloaded the registry USB patch (and a whole bunch of other updates and more) and installed it. After the patch USB Webcam has started working again. I don't know if it was the fix, but its working now. The Vaio "Updater" program did not work (it should be updated as well) so I had no idea there were so much software upgrades available for this laptop. I highly suggest that you check the Sony Web site for downloads (if you did not) available for your computer. Good luck.
