Hi Peter,

Yes, you should be able to capture Video.

Start -> All Programs -> Vaio Camera Capture Utility

This gives you the option to capture stills or video.

It should be - does anything at all work properly on your Vaio?

Have a look in C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Camera Capture Utility

There seems to be so many problems with your AR21S so probably the only reliable way forward is to carry out a full Recovery back to factory settings and then add the Updates. You would have to back up your data and reinstall all your programs but you will have to do that when Vista arrives anyway.

Looking back, there are too many problems to troubleshoot individually.

I can stream video via msn and skype, but I want to record video and save it is that possible?

Re: VAIO CAMERA CAPTURE CAPABILITY

Guys breakthrough!!!!

Use Windows movie maker and use 'capture from video device' and then you can record and edit videos.

Hi a7med_360,

I agree with Blencogo, you seem to have a variety of problems and I think running the Vaio recovery program and starting again would be the best option..

Make sure you back-up your important data first..

Thanks for the advice Thalamus & Blencogo, I will do a system recover but do you think i should wait for a my vista to arrive or do it now?

That would depend on you really, are you happy to wait for the Vista express disc's and continue using your Vaio as it is at the moment..?
