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.
Error message in Arcsoft WebCam Companion:
'Webcam not found or does not work properly. Please click the Connect button and try again.
Previous post:
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.

Sony motion eye cam on my sony vaio vgn-fe48g has stopped working after installing win7
Please could someone help me to set up the Board Sony motion eye cam and FN keys that don't work after upgrading from Vista to Win7, Sony are no help at all.
Device Manager can't even see the cam. I tried to install it manually and the nearest me am added the cam, I was able to start.
Maybe you are missing the drivers. Are there drivers available for this W7?
You should check with Sony for your specific model and area/region Web site to see if they provide any W7 drivers at all. If Yes, have you installed them for the web cam?
EXAMPLE - this site is for the India, they have a few drivers for Vista HP 32 bit, but none that seems for W7 HP 32-bit. - http://www.sony.co.in/support/product/vgn-fe48g
This is a missing driver for W7 then issue you might try to install drivers vista in compatibility mode, but this is not guaranteed and can cause other problems. Back up your data first to be safe. See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/98073-drivers-install-vista-drivers-windows-7-a.html and you need the correct version of the pilot 32 or 64 bits depending on the case.

Hello
Troubleshoot camera connection
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Troubleshoot-camera-connection-problemsYou probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
with the drivers and installed at the same time).Login as an administrator.
Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
will update the driver stack.Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
software (if not more recent get the same).Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.
Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htmInstallation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.htmlThen let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers

You encounter an error message and the error code during the installation of the driver?Uninstall the drivers of webcam completely from the laptop and reinstall in the clean boot state.Link to download the drivers:Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
