    I have SZ381P with Windows Vista. I have already installed Vista drivers but I can not verify that the built in Motion Capture Camera is working. Windows Movie Maker Vista version no longer supports the camera. Neither does Windows Explorer. In XP, I used to be able to just double click the camera icon to test the camera. That support has been removed from Vista.

    In the later version of SZ, Sony used VAIO Camera Capture Utility to test the camera. But this utility doesn't work with my camera, VGP-VCC2. Even when manually extract the program with Universal Extractor, the utility simply doesn't work.

    How do I test that my camera is working? Is there anything in Vista that I can use? Do I have to use a 3rd party utility? Which one?
