Vaio FE Camera Problem. Help!

Hey fellow Vaio owners. As you can see, I have a problem with my built-in camera.

I know I know, update the driver from the sony support site. I already did. I downloaded the patch and stuff.

Well, heres the problem. Occasionally, just occasionally, whenever I try to use the cam, I get the

"An attempt to initialize the camera failed. Please check if another software is using the camera."​

Damn it, no other software is using the dang camera! Get off my sac and stop it! This is really getting annoying. Is there another patch I am unaware of from Sony or even from Microsoft?

Again, when I first bought this Vaio FE, the cam would not even start up. I had to download that patch in order for it to work. Now, it works...but occasionally, like I said, it sometimes brings up that stupid annoying message.

So I'm pretty sure there is/are some patch out there that stops this annoyance for good.

Fellow Vaio'ers, help me out.

^What exactly is this file/program suppose to do? The Read ME file doesn't explain much other then how to install. What am I installing again?

" Please check if another software is using the camera "

this message pops up when i try to activate the camera
after installing this(xp ) it fixed the problem

hi...yea i have the same problem too can someone email me how to fix it?? or have anyone called sony n asked for a solution?

 

should i call sony? TT.TT vaio gives alot of problem n some programmes just stop working n i cant fix it or even remove it!!

 

hey guys I got the same problem, except mine never works. even with restarts.

logged it with the support desk, will let oyu know how i get on.....

 

I had this problem once and the way I fixed it was when I disabled the camera and then turn it back up. So go to your device manager and try disabling it and enabling it back again. See if that works.

 

^Yeah thats my "fix" for right now too.

 

Thank you. That solve my problem and the camera worked again!
