fe41s motion eye camera works once per session

[pippo561]

Hi
The integrated camera on this brand new sony (Vista) works one time only per boot, if I start camera capture utility it works, close the utility and try Skype and it says the camera is used by another program.
After a reboot the camera works again but again one time only.

I have been reading some on this forum but the search does not work? Am I missing something?
Regards All

Identical problem here. I have a VAIO VGN-FE41S.

Well, at least I am not alone.
I have logged the problem to Sony e-Support, maybe you should do the same and lets hope they came up with a solution very quickly.

Thats interesting - I cant even get the camera capture utility to work in vista on my SZ3 - when I try to install the Vista Utility (from the sony vista driver site), Vista claims the software you are installing is not designed for Vista.

Same problem here! Actually when I start the camera capture utility from the system tray there is no way I can close the application (only by means of task manager of course )

(screenshots in dutch though).
I have opened a ticket for this issue at the Sony Vaio helpdesk in Brussels 10 days ago.
Waiting for a feedback...
