thank you cappy but I have done as you suggested many many times. Ive tried uninstalling and rebooting and then installing and rebooting and various other ways, I have dowloaded the correct driver again, followed the instruction from the site, tried to manually install it, installed it WITH the usb attached, uninstalled, rebooted, and reinstalled it WITHOUT the usb attached.
The sony usb driver shows in device manager but the camere doesnt show in imaging devices but thats because it isnt installed as it wont recognise my camera right?
