hey all
I just recieved the SZ450 today from Amazon. I just love it
But the webcam is not working with me for some reason. How can I fix it?
One more thing when I log into windows the screen flickers, is that normal?
Thnx
-
people on forum said use the xp drivers for webcam.
flicker does not look normal. -
The PC came with vista in it. I tried to download a driver from the 390 model but they use different camera model VCC2. the 450 model uses VCC5.
Its not letting me install the old driver for some reason. -
never mind its workin now
but the filckering still exist -
And you didn't install any other softwares that might cause conflict?
-
Did you upgrade the software? There is an upgrade available through sony for the 450 camera utility.
-
Mine also flickers when and open and use internet explorer. I see red around the screen. Do you have the same problem?
-
Is the flicker due to a driver issue or camera or hardware?
-
Sorry for the late reply
The problem with the camera stupid. Apparently the camera was used with some other application which I dont know. When I restarted my laptop and signed in to MSN massenger it worked fine.
About the flicker:
The screen flickers on when I sign in to my windows account. For instance:
When I sign in on the welcome screen and enter the desktop. While the desktop is loading. After it finishes loading the screen flickers once and it goes back to normal.
Same thing happnes when I log off or shut down the laptop. Its not that big deal but if anybody body knows how to fix it it would be nice
SZ450 webcam not workin!
