Go to C:\Drivers and look for 'Camera Driver (Ricoh)' and run the file DPInst32.exe inside that folder.<BR /><BR />If you do not have an unknown device, then your camera is either faulty or (more likely) a wire has disonnected itself from the camera itself. In this situation it will need a repair or at least someone to look inside for a disconnected cable.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.fr/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 11 Apr 2009 16:30:37 GMT https://community.sony.fr/t5/pcs-accessories/motion-eye-camera-won-t-work/m-p/86778#M54536 Blencogo 2009-04-11T16:30:37Z
