    My friend recently purchased a used Sony Vaio VGN-CR31B laptop and is looking to me for help. The main problem is that the laptop was made in China(I believe) and has a Chinese Windows Vista Home installed. Since he needed an English OS(we don't have access to a OS disk for XP or Vista), I partitioned the HD and put Windows 7 on for him. The only major problems he needs help with is getting Itunes to work and to get the webcam working on Windows 7. Both Itunes and the webcam utilities are on the Vista portion of the hard drive, but its too much of a hassle for him. Any suggestions on what I can do? Thank you.
