    Short and Sweet

    I installed win7rc on TZ191 with 32 gb ssd

    Very nice, at least now I have 20 gb free space!

    But some things are not working- most notably the motion eye camera- I really want that!

    I did download the drivers from sony e support, didn't fix the problem the sytem sees the camera and says it is functioning but there is no way to turn it on.

    And the independent buttons av controls dont seem to work either

    Any solutions?- I hate go back to Vista Hog again...

    WiFi works - Wireless printing works - Bluetooth works -Biometric works

    Any help>? :eek: Alan

    You need to install the VAIO Event Service and Sony DLLs and Controls for the buttons to work.

    I'm running Windows 7-7260 x32 on a TZ160C and my camera (VGP-VCC7) works fine.

    Anybody know where i can get the complete VAIO and files like these?

    -My TZ191 work a lot smoother and even seem cooler tempretaure wise with Win 7 but I'd sure AIO features to work

    Left on my own here I may have to put back clean Vista that I have but at least all the Sony drivers are on it..

    I have build 7100- mystery to me- thats why they call it eval copy.

    Well I seem to have the camera working but I had to load Adobe Flash - app
    and so far that was a test in facebook app
    I simply want to have all the features working the way they were with Vista- but again that must be why they call it eval copy
    SONY says they will release upgrade discs for 7 in October for my model(s)
    7 seems to be great thing for this machine which only has 32 gb of of ssd

    Yay..
