Hi Sarah,

Steps to turn on integrated WebCam on Sony Vaio Laptop

a. Click on Start and then click on All programs.

b. Go all the way to the bottom until you see “Arcsoft Webcam companion”

c. Click on it and then click on Webcam companion 3 to turn your webcam.

That’s it.

Dear Kokab Latif

If you have same model SonyVIAO_VGN-FZ11M_Model_PCG-381M then install windows 7 32bit professional. Just install this driver whatever in start or end. (Doesn't matter). After that you just install skype and check your cam. It will work surely.

Arcsoft Webcam Companion is not necessary for this procedure.

Atif

I will not tell long story. But try this driver. It is tested by myself on SonyVIAO_VGN-FZ11M_Model_PCG-381M while these drivers were not designed for this laptop. So if your laptop model is different then you must check these driver, download from below link: -

I will appreciate if you let me know exact result.

Thanks.
