Give this a try.

You can also find drivers here http://genesis.sony-europe.com/inst...search.jsp?DocId=36760&l=en_GB&m=VGN-TZ31WN_B

You will need to enter both serial numbers to use them.

Still no luck with Built in Web cam after trying the above, I tried a external web cam one and it works, Also my fn hot keys dont work either since the upgrade

 

[HiTecK]

Did you look over the link provided above for all your drivers, everything is there for you to browse over.

Your laptop might not support windows 7, there is an explanation in the link given, please take time to READ through it, everything is explained.

You need to enter the first and second serial 28273861-5002751

Once you enter these everything is there for you to read.

If it does not support that Laptop you will have to go back to the old but fantastic reliable windows xp ;).

Ive read that the driver from the zip file on this site works for your model and some others

http://cid-d53719d869fb8243.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Camera%20Driver%20%5E5Ricoh%5E6%206%5E2209G%20-%206.1005.209.0%5E_logo.rar?sa=337127565

Also the vista driver for your particular model is said to work too if you want to try that after Hitecks solution

 

[bat]

Well done axxxo, the driver from the zip file works, I am so happy, Ive been trying for so long, Now i need to try my fn hot keys with vista driver
Nice one hitecks vista drivers worked for my fn hot keys

 

[jackthberry]

if that doesnt work, download microsoft silverlight, aslong as your os is genuine then its free, put in the drivers for my HP Pavillion webcam when i upgraded to Win 7

 

[tavares]
