    I have followed the topic "Sony SZ750 Win7 64bit clean install (should help on other SZ's)", and everybody has problem of getting camera work (with cold boot).

    I have found out since I have used driver from http://www.ralphg.com/public
    my camera works fine (I completely shut down my computer and boot it again)

    The thing is that this driver is not working with Sony Camera Utility, but it works with other program that involve camera (like I use Yahoo Messenger to start my camera, and it works very well).

    I'm very happy now.

    You can download driver from http://www.ralphg.com/public or download from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6MOIE6GV

    Did you alter any of your advanced settings to get your computer to accept this driver?

    I have found several drivers that would work with one program or another, even after cold boot, but nothing that works with the Sony program or all programs. Including that one.
