windows vista camera issue

i bought a new sony vaio lap top and it has a built in tiny little web cam, but when i try to use it the programs says that it has 'NO INPUT'

how can i fix that?

thanxxx and welcome me back damn it

Welcome back! When did you get out?

Are you sure that the laptop has a built in web cam or just the software to run one?

yes it has a built in cam right above the screen, it worked for yahoo chat on messenger for about a day but it disappeared from there as well... and the video capturing program is called the VAIO CAMERA CAPTURE UTILITY and when i try to use that it says NO INPUT

PS: I GOT OUT SOON AS OZZU POSTED MY BAIL

Is it listed in the device manager?

It's nice to know that ozzu posts bail for their users.

no its not in the device manager. how can i get it in there?>

It goes in the device manager when the drivers are installed.

i have the same exact problem.
the camera was working and now all of a sudden it has dissapeared with same errors.. does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey everyone. If you're having a problem with your Camera Capture Utility, I found a solution that you might want to check out.

In short, my problem stemmed from the driver for Sony Camera Capture Utility. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver...deleting several inactive drivers that were probably conflicting with my camera. Now my camera turns on!!!! Now it works! Sony support hasn't helped me in the least bit, I feel your pain!!!
