I just had my computer set to factory settings or whatever and now it only has Windows software on it - none of the Sony software it had before so it refuses to turn on the webcam (which is an actual piece of the laptop, not a separate device btw) since it used to run on the Vaio Camera Capture Utility, which is gone. So far I can only find updates for the program, which do not work as I don't have the original program at all.
also the model is vgn-cr123e

In which operating system your computer is running? In windows 7 or vista mean Go to device manager and set the camera Brightness contrast .. go the url this will help you http://www.pcauthorities.com/pc-errors/how-to-fix-webcam-problems
Still using windows xp mean What else to try: download missing web cam drivers!
If it does not work on your issue, I'd suggest you installing the Vista driver in Compatibility mode. Remove and rescan that hardware device in Device Manager, right-click on the driver executable/installer file -> Properties select the Compatibility tab; click the check box before Run this program in Compatibility mode for option and select Windows Vista in the list-down box; then try installing the device driver.
have you ever tried doing a "gadget fix" by potential of way of "start up", "upload-ons", "gadget approaches", "gadget fix" to a think approximately the previous the place you put in the information superhighway cam interior the 1st place? are you able to let us know who made the webcam (Eg Logitech) and what element of it does not paintings - do you get no image, no sound, or no longer something of the two? in case you unplug the usb cable and reboot your laptop, then reinsert the usb plug to your digicam, does your laptop say it has discovered new hardware and is installation it? if so, what occurs next? Does it invite you to insert the CD that got here with it? Then what occurs? in case you could provide us some clues to narrow down the subject, we are in a position to get you the place you desire to be. do no longer postpone. Edit: in basic terms edit your question to place the extra data on the top so as that all and sundry can see them and supply there assistance.
download device doctor and let it scan ur computer.. then after the scan,, there is a list of file for each different hardware/software that is attached to ur computer but not yet installed..
