    The hard drive on this Sony PCG-TR2a went kaput. Had to reinstall XP from a retail XP Pro. Got all drivers from Sony's web site to work except the one for the built in camera, Model PCGA-UVC10.

    Even though the driver installation for it says it was successful, in Device Manager there is still the yellow ? for Other Devices/USB device.

    I searched for other drivers that might work, but found none.

    Any ideas? Thanks.

    When I had a TR2 I had to reinstall everything. I got my drivers from this site:

    http://www.vaio-link.com/downloads/select/select.asp?l=en&m=1485

    At first the camera and the hot keys weren't working, but I reinstalled and all worked out OK.

    If you still can't find the driver you could call/email Sony tech support in your country and ask them for the url, or for them to email you the drivers.
