    Hey guys,

    I have VAIO CR: VGN-CR25G/R. There is something wrong with my inbuilt camera. It works perfectly fine when i use it for webcam chat on msn. However, it doesn't work (in fact, it doesn't react at all) when i press the "CAPTURE" button on my laptop keyboard. Do you know why this is the case? And how can i fix it?

    I went to Device Manager > Imaging Devices > Sony Visual Communication Camera and it tells me that the "device is working properly" :confused:

    Please help.

    Thank you!
