Everything works perfectly well, except for the camera. I tried without the
usb hub and nothing happens. I tryed connecting in different usb ports, and
none.
In the Device Manager the Sony icon appears with a yellow exclamation point
and in the properties says the driver is not working. It is useless trying to
reload the old driver, upgrade the new one, or even make it work without
software. I think I pretty much cover everything. I´ve run out of ideas. Any
new idea is welcome. Thanks for your time pal.
