VGN-FZ11S Camera DEAD & Administrator Issues!!

Hey guys,

2 issues really bugging me now!

1) This camera issue which seems to be affecting Vaio users of all laptops! Got my new laptop yesterday and tested the camera.. work 100% fine with MSN etc. Today it's just STOPPED working.. fails to initalize (blue screen) in VAIO utility and not even picked up on MSN! Went to the VAIO site for updated drivers but nothing comes up for VGN-FZ11S... surely can't be a driver issue either as it worked fine yesterday. ANNOYING as I only got it yesterday.

2) Trying to install SG TCP Optimizer (for anyone familiar) and when I try to apply settings it says I do not have the administrator priveleges to do so even though I am an admin?!

Any help would be appreciated!!

 

hmmm i'm not sure about the camera issue, and i am also not familiar with the SG TCP Optimizer, but have you tried right clicking on the executable, going to properties and then combatability and then clicking "run as administrator under priviliges? might be worth a try, hope you can get it all figured out!

Thanks for the input Jason... I've just run it directly.. will save it to computer tonight, and try that...

Anyone else for the camera issue?

 

ive just got the same camera issue today, 3rd day of ownership! it was working fine until i installed msn messenger, now it is not working! tried re-installing the camera driver from the sony dowload page but not sure how to do this properly, just doubled clicked the install button in the camera driver folder, anyway this didnt work either!

 

as msn messenger was the last thing i installed last night i restored back too before this any now the camera works again!! msn caused it to fail once the laptop was restarted the next day??? will have to figure out how to get msn and have the camera working together!
