    I have a couple problems... here it goes.

    1) since the update to Vista, the camera in the lid has never worked right. After a fresh install following all of Sony's instructions first doing a restore to XP, then upgrading to Vista via the upgrade disc I now get an error message on boot up saying the camera cannot initialize due a .DLL problem. I have tried to un-install from the device manager and it just keeps coming back after every re-boot.

    2) I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get rid of the blasted TPM program, and everything related to it. I've turned the chip off in the BIOS, no luck. I don't need at all.

    3) The SD/MMC/ universal card reader has not worked since Vista upgrade.

    The camera and card reader problems have been addressed by Sony support with no luck. Can anyone here help?

    Maybe I mis-phrased it. The file is there, the entry point is not working.
