After much trauma I finally got Vista working almost normally however neither the internal camera nor the card reader are showing in the device manager. I have downloaded all of the Sony Utilities and Drivers as recommended. I do have an unknown device that will not download any drivers. Also a Mass Storage devices and a couple of Bluetooth Peripherals none of which will download drivers.
Incidentally Bluetooth is working fine despite the fact I installed then uninstalled the Sony fix cos it didn't work. The Vista bluetooth programme works perfectly well with both my Nokia phone and HP 460wbt printer.
I did speak with a Sony expert??? via the very helpful Microsoft helpdesk, who was as good as useless saying Sony do not support Vista upgrades. Very strange I thought but he appeared to be an arrogant t..t. and really didn't seem to know what he was talking about.
Any other bright ideas to get my Vaio VGN-AR11M ship shape
Cheers

Hi Tony

Thanks for your time and the reply.
I have tried as you suggest, without success. Neither the camera nor the card reader are showing in the device manager. Although I do have an unknown device that will not download any drivers. Also a Mass Storage devices and a couple of Bluetooth Peripherals none of which will download drivers.
Incidentally Bluetooth is working despite the fact I uninstalled the Sony fix cos it didn't work. The Vista bluetooth programme works perfectly well with both my Nokia phone and HP 460wbt printer.
I did speak with a Sony expert??? about a different issue who was as good as useless saying Sony do not support Vista upgrades. Very strange I thought but he appeared to be an arrogant t..t. and really didn't seem to know what he was talking about.
Any other bright ideas??

Vista Issues

noreplyforum@eu.sony.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 21:27:47 GMT

I have spent ages getting Vista to run more or less satisfactorily after several clean installs on my VGN-AR11M

I have downloaded and installed everything suggested on the Sony support site for Vista.

BUT

I cannot get the internal camera to work or the memory card reader despite the fixes.

Please please can someone give me some guidance.

Many thanks [> the :)]
