Missing Things After System Recovery

a7med_360 — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 18:35:01 GMT

Ive just run a system recovery, and someone once told me on this forum i should i have the vaio camera capture utility pre built with my laptop(vaio ar21s) he also said if its not there do a system recovery.

Today ive ran a system rocvery (for a different reason) and installed all the drivers applications utilities etc and still i dont have the Vaio camera capture utility...any reasons why? and how i can download it?

I also dont seem to have the system resource management indicator by the system clock....how can i get it back there?

This utility is not included with your model.

Can i download it?

It is included in the pre-installed utilities for the AR-3xx series which can be downloaded from Vaio-Link. I have no idea whether it will install on your model.

I downloaded it and installed it, everything works fine but it doesnt detect the camera....in the setting i put perfered camera "Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2" but when i come to capture a picture or video it says no input......i checked the device manager and the camera is intsalled with no problems..........if it wouldnt work the application wouldnt be compatibale it should support any camera:S?

It would be my guess that the Vaio Camera Capture Utility only works with Vista. That is why it is included in the preinstalled utilities for the AR31S and not the AR21S.

but if so it would have installed the application and detected my camera
because if the setting gives me choice of which camera i want to use and mic etc i think it works......maybe it was released after Ar21S hit the market

Also does anyone know why i dont have that resource management icon in the system tray the thing that tells u ur cpu usage since i recovered its hasnt appeared:(

After doing multiple tests to see if its the application that doesnt support it, it seems that it the application will support it however there is a problem now with my camera as when i try running it with any of my instant messenger it does not activate, even after configuring its setting. But when i run it through My computer it works.....any suggestions?

Hi a7med_360,

I don't think the system restore would be causing the problem..

If norton blocks the spyware but the popup remains it sounds like the infection has not been removed have you run a complete anti virus and spyware scan..?

For the spyware scan I suggest using something like the new AdAware 2007 Free or Spybot search and destroy ..

a7med_360 — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 14:38:28 GMT

ive run a complete system scan already many times including custom scans but it doesnt detect anything ive deleted my temporary internet files but the norton report shows the files that is causing this, i delete them but with continous pop-ups downloading them its quite hard to see the actual cause...because its either a file which is allowing this or pop-ups downloading these files...its a really distraction every time i log onto www.club-vaio.com i get amazon pop-ups....wouldnt norton or windows detect spyware:| i never got this problem before my system recovery.............FYI all files are torjans....the security thing warns me a trojan.xxxxxx is trying to hack in but symantec blocked.....why isint it detected in the scans:|

This is a screenshot of the two files that are continously coming back after being deleted.

MattWilson — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:37:10 GMT

They are in Quarrentine so they should affect your system as they have been contained there is just not the capibility to delete them but later updates may deleted. Have had that happen before.

Re: Missing Things After System Recovery

a7med_360 — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:48:40 GMT

Ive just put them into quanteee after deleting them after 6scans.......i put it in quarntee to show you what two file they are and if you have any other ideas of how to delete them.

Yes this is the first time this happend to me ive never had a virus, or spyware etc my system is always very well protected but since i did a sysm recovery everything seems to be going wrong, i didnt connect to the internet until i had norton running..
