    Did you do a fresh install or something - assuming right out of the box you should not have a driver issue?

    Your should have software loaded called "webcam companion 2", if not try this link from a FW300 series - this is the 64 bit vista home premium - (there is a pull down menu to allow you to change your OS) look under camera - should provide what you need for the Sony site:

    Hope that helps.

    That's for the Bluetooth - need the one off your original link that says wireless LAN.
    Why so many problems with drivers on a new system - did you unistall items, fresh install without all the drivers, or something else? Seems very abnormal to have to load drivers on a new system.

    I do not have a lot experience in laptop and it wants a lot of time in order to puts somebody of them drivers of one and should for them you find from internet. I agree that are these other drivers than those that I want, and I understood that yesterday evening, searching in the internet when this is the contact for bluetooth. If I install from the following contact the drivers, I will have positive result?
