    Hey Guys,

    I have searched and searched but could not find the x64 driver for vcc5 cam. Can anyone point me to it ? This is a major dealbreaker for me to upgrade to 64 bit.

    Hey man,

    Appologies but my reply is off-topic, I've noticed that you have SZ Vaio and I have a very hot question with relation to that model, could you please help me ? It is difficult to find someone who still owns one of those things ...

    I made the following post earlier on forums :
    * * *
    I would greatly appreciate if those who own the above notebook would help me. I have same machine and the following problem. I encrypted certain folders on my harddrive with TPM, entered my password incorrectly certain amounts of times which disabled TPM function and blocked the following folders. The only way to access it now is to get into BIOS and reset TPM, then initialise it from Windows again. Which would be no problem if my LCD screen was not broken. Meaning that I can login into Windows ok and work in windows environment with external monitor. However I cannot access my bios, because it would only be possible with the own notebook screen which is broken. Hence here is the question - could somebody provide me with the exact sequence of keys which you need to press once in BIOS which would reset TPM ? I'm not too concerned with different versions of BIOS, I would assume that on that particular machine they would be more or less identical. So I would need something like : LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER, DOWN, DOWN, ENTER , F3 etc ...

    Will be greatly appreciated .....

    Many thanks !

    I *think* i tried with one of the beta x86 builds, and the generic USB Video device driver worked, but not with x64 build, even though it installs. Havent heard back from anyone, so now actually thinking of installing the x86 build :(

    Anyone out there have a x64 Vcc5 camera working driver, please help.

    Sony vista driver should have the X64 package in set up files for the webcam. use Universal Extractor to extract the exe file.

    These are x86 drivers not x64. Anyway if you try to install them, they would supposedly install, but the only thing which happens is the desc from inf is updated. The actual drivers are not installed as expected.

    So any other idea about x64 drivers? Does any other manufacture uses the same RICOH Camera?
