    I have a sony VGN-FE880e andI upgraded to windows 7 and was looking through my devices and the motion eye webcam is not even on there, i have looked on sony's website and tried reinstalling all of the drivers for the webcam on the website and none have solved my problem. i've looked and it seems quite a few people have had the same problem as me, yet i haven't really found a definitive solution so far. has anyone else had the same issue as me? any help would definitely be appreciated! Thank you!

    Uninstall the camera from the device manager (check the delete driver option), restart, and install the driver from the link above.

    The camera (I have the same VCC-4) should show up as USB video device under imaging devices after the clean install.
