I have a VAIO VGN-SZ1XP/C that I have recently upgraded to Windows 7. The update itself went OK but left me with several issues around the Sony features (rather than other applications). The most annoying are:
- the webcam is not recognised. I think it it seen by Win7 as an "unknown device". Is there a driver that I can try to point it at to get it to work/be recognised?
- the touchpad works but the scroll areas at the side and top do not work. Again, is there a driver that I update to that will add on these features?
- the Bluetooth is on (ie the blue light is on) but nothing works. Either I need to find a BT driver or a way to turn it off as it is eating the battery. Any ideas?
- the Function keys, the 'S' keys and the Stamina/Speed key all don't work. Any suggestions to get control of them back?
Thanks for any help that might be out there.![]()

Re the comment above, it was a "clean install" of Windows 7 - so I have upgraded the Vaio.....
I have got the touchpad, and fingerprint reader working OK. Plus I seem to have updated the NVidia drivers.
BUT I still cannot get any contact with Bluetooth or the webcam. I think it sees the webcam as "unkown" but I can't find a driver that will work. I have tried the Sony site with drivers for this machine and Vista but no joy. Any ideas from anyone? -
Finally found the webcam driver in SODCAM-01074405-US.EXE on the Sony site and it works.
Still can't solve the bluetooth problem - all suggestions welcomed
