    After I removed OS: Windows Vista Home Premium and install Win 7 Ultimate, then my Webcam can not use anymore. I had found dirvers from eSupport but it says: "This driver only support for Win Vista". Don't give up, I searched alot from Internet. I installed drivers I found, but can not start the webcam. It says: "Camera not found. The camera is in use by another application, or not connected. Make sure the camera is connected and working properly, then try again." Help.

    Sony support website - Has the original Camera driver:
    Sony eSupport - VGN-CR506E - Software Updates & Drivers
    Since the OS Upgrades only offer software/application updates, use the original Vista driver - that should be all that is required. When updating to Win 7 you'll use a combination of Vista and new drivers.
