Sony VGN-CR353 - Webcam Drivers

Hello everyone,

After spending a small fortune on Windows & and installing it, I was upset to realise it removed basically all of my drivers. I managed to get many back ie usb, microphone, bluetooth etc.

However the drivers/features I actually use for my conference calls I can not get. I am on the verge of deleting Windows 7. Biggest mistake I ever made

I have tried everything from this link on this forum:
Sony Vaio VGN-CR353 DRIVERS and nothing works.

I need the camera driver, camera capture driver and the VAIO camera utility.

If anyone can help I would be really grateful.

Kind Regards Rachael

Please define "nothing works". Are you saying the links don't work (because I tested it and was able to start a download of camera.exe after I agreed to their terms of service). If this does not work for you then maybe try a different browser and/or make sure you disable ad-blockers, script blockers, maybe even your antivirus if it blocks downloads.

Or are you saying you downloaded the files and the driver wouldn't install? It's possible that was to a different version/bitsize. Use THIS link and select the downloads tab and pick your exact W7 version/bit size.

hey there,,
i have the same problem i deleted my vista & installed windows 7 & when i press my AV MODE button to take a picture or also to chat via webcam on msn it wont work,,the other party says it says on their end that i dont have a webcam,,so how do i fix it to make it work again..please help..
thanx Bekka.

Also when i go to use my webcam it says turn it on but it wont allow me,,well the button AV MODE i use to press dont work,,does nothing when i press it..

Well the webcam needs a driver if it won't work at all, make sure you get that from Clifford's link.

Cameradriver

And for special keyboard buttons work you need a program running in memory which would have been part of the original Sony install.

Likely one of these:

VAIO Camera Utility

VAIO Camera Capture Utility
File name: VAIO_Camera_Capture_Utility.EXE

Contact Sony or try a Sony help forum if you can't figure out which one.

thanx but that didnt help me coz i dont have my webcam active anymore due to switching over to windows 7..
so i was kinda hoping you have info on how to reinstall it...

You install the driver and the software to use it. And you get those things from Sony HERE.

You need the Cameradriver obviously and you likely want the Camera Utility and the Camera Capture Utility. So log on as an administrator (if you aren't already), download those programs, and run them. Then reboot and see if your camera works.

But as for making your AV Mode button work, if the three that refer to camera don't make it work, then I am just guessing but I suspect that is one of those last 4 in my post above.

@Rachaell: I have faced same problem with laptop Sony VIAO VGN-FZ11M model: PCG-381M, even official sony web site announced, said laptop is not compatible for windows 7. But I found drivers and upload on below link. So just check below drivers and if your problem goes solve then mark this discussion as solved.
