    I know this is an older model. I had to replace the hard drive and do not have the recovery disks. Sony says no longer available. They have drivers and updates on the website but not original software.

    I managed to load XP from a separate disk. I put on a number of items and drivers. Most everything seems to work except the camera. I have Network Smart Capture when I press the smart button it opens and the on light on the camera lights but no picture.

    Do I need separate software and if so which one and where do I get it? Does anyone have the recovery disks?

    Thanks.

    This looks like the files I have already tried. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for trying to help.

    Sony Support page - Download - Webcam Companion Software - not sure of your exact model else I'd link to it (495 has 4 options) more than likely all the same file anyway tho...

    I think my only sollution is to try to get some of the original media software which Sony does not make available on their web site. Does anyone have them or a set of recovery disks I can buy or borrow?

    Thanks
