    the file should be SODCAM-12938500-US.EXE...

    if its not self executable. try go to control panel, device manager and find the unrecognized camera device and click on update driver. then point the folder where you have the driver located.

    I tried running the SODCAM-12938500-US.EXE file but it tells me that

    "This update is not intended for you model"

    Ive downloaded a lot of other camera drivers from other TZ models but it keeps giving me the same message ><

    My one is a TZ90HS and it came with a 32SSD and 160gb hdd. It came with Japanese vista basic so i had just replaced it with Windows Vista Ultimate

    Please help ><

    Read this and then change the model.txt file.

    Remember to turn writing of the file OFF.

    P.S My TZ runs vista really well, I dont understand why people downgrade.

    Good luck
