    I have gotten everything working but my Webcam and S1/S2 buttons.

    As for my webcam, device manager detects it under imaging devices, but I am not able to use it. Any ideas? I have installed the XP drivers for it, and the Camera Utility Update for Vista.

    Windows update has the Sony files needed for the S and Fn shortcuts. As for the camera....

    Correction - the S1/S2 buttons don't work yet...at least from what I have and I've installed all the Sony crap.

    I used the XP drivers for my webcam after I discovered that the Vista drivers do not work.

    I used the XP drivers, but it just shows the camera under "Imaging Devices" in Device Manager. Whenever I try to use it (like with AIM), it doesn't work.

    Give it some time. Hopefully some working drivers will be released soon.
