    These are all the drivers and utilities in one zip file. You have to unpack them first. In Windows it's called a 'compressed folder' I think. Just copy its inside to where ever you want and install.

    If there isn't a .exe you can use the drivers by going to your hardware in windows and install etc.

    I didn't get my camera to work in Vista whatever I tried with here on the forum. I followed every guide, tested every driver on sony. Not working.. I'm so stupid really. WHen at work I usually go for the manufacturer drivers directly instead of trying to find working oem driver.

    So, after finally accepting my defeat I suddenly got to think what I would have done at work if someone had called in with similar problem..

    Google > "manu" + "device name".
    Poof!!! > download > install > works like a charm..

    Nothing I recomend in the long run though.. OEM can have customized hardware so only use very popular manufacturer drivers like Realtek etc.

    Camera driver and Notebook Control for S1 / S2 buttons can be found here.

    The drivers at this website worked for me after clean install and Sony companion DVD woudn't work.
