Vaio Webcam drivers for upgrading to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a VGN-CR-23G vaio laptop for 5 + years. i recently got it upgraded to Windows 7. Sony does not provide an upgrade, so guys, if you to want it get it done yourself.

The only problem is that the Camera was not working and there were no drivers avilable for Vaio Cr series for Windows7. The camera model is VGP-VCC6.

But not to worry, i downloaded the Vista CAmera drivers from the sony support site and they are working absolutely fine.
So all those of you who have racked their heads against the wall for a workaround , here is it... download Vista Camera drivers for Windows 7. They too work fine!

Inception------ Is it really good?----- Me thinks we need to finally think for ourselves!

Hi Guys,

I happened to see Inception ..... you can say i saw the movie that i was actually dying to see. My god..... what reports everywhere... what ratings..... 4 stars and 9+ on IMDB..... i thought it is a sure shot entertainer.

But what do i get?...............SIMPLY.......a lesson in alternative reality!

I am like .......if i wanted to think about the basis of our existence ..... or questions on the power of our minds, consiousness ..... i would prefer to do it on ........Discovery TV or National Geographic rather than CinemaScope! (That way i can be assured or some answers.)

Without spinning a web ... i will simply say..... I didn't like "Inception".

As to why i didn't like it..... it's simple really.... the director is making me think about alternative reality within alternative reality.....that's not too difficult for me to understand. But beyond that the action is mediocre. The romance is missing.....and thrill factor is dampened by the overdose of confusion and sadness that seeps into the movie throughout .......finally reaching its pinnacle at the end.

Moreover, how can we accept that everyone is in the same dream just because you say so. It should have been proved with a lot more credibility. And once we accept that you are dreaming the possibilities are limitless.... personally i didn't find the special effects all that great. Ok they were nice but that's it. Anyone with exposure to special FX will tell you that nothing you saw n the movie is very difficult.

For those of you who are interested in alternative reality...... ever wondered how it is that we only know what we are going though......and .... the feeling that we are trapped in our own bodies.
I personally think that...... recently a lot of attention is being bestowed upon the POWER OF THE MIND...... whether it is through the coming up of healing techniques such as Reiki Or even popular paperback novels such as, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown , which talks about the Noetic Sciences. (It is a science dealing with the power of the mind again...)If you want to know more, check them out on the Net.

All in all Inception....... is a nice movie but nothing to get the 9+ rating ..... give me A-team or Iron Man any day over it. I hope we audiences are not getting caught up.... in thinking how can we not like it if it is the No. 1 movie of the decade. For those of you who actually are worried ... i would say.... don't forget A-movie....... is all about enjoying yourself rather than getting a headache.

tata for now!

Congrats Priyanka! (I wonder what Ashutosh Gowariker and Jaya will think...!)

Hi,

I just want to take this oppurtunity to congratulate Priyanka Chopra for receiving the National Award a fitting end to the controversy whether Priyanka actually deserved the award instead of Ashwariya Bachchan for Jodha Akbar.

Congrats Priyanka!

Runonce3 Error on Vista - Solve it the Right Way!

Hi Guys,

If you are reading it then i guess you are suffering the same problem that i faced. I formatted my machine and found to my dismay that my IE 7 on Windows Vista was stuck on the runonce 3.aspx page, which was not displaying.

I tried searching the Net but the answers i found were very confusing. Overall everyone was saying the same thing but i was in a fix as to how to do it right. Then i found the wonder link of the Microsoft website http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945385.

This link very clearly explains the probem and also has a download which can solve the problem for you in a single click. Considering it is the Microsoft Website it is okay to download and run it also.

This the solution to the following probems:

1. Runonce3.aspx
2. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277
3. First run issues

India’s really got Talent!......Bravo …. The Illuminati!

Hi Guys,
I know it’s been a really long time since I last posted but been busy.
But let’s first talk about a real cool show that I happened to catch over the weekend….”India’s got talent” on Colors. I had seen a few of their previous episodes and had made the decision that it was primarily a song and a dance show.
But what I saw on Sunday made me change my mind. It was an Independence day - special episode and I was truly struck by the awesome originality shown by a group called The Illuminati. They recreated the Tom and Jerry cartoon show on the stage using fluorescent colors and darkness.
Wow! is all I can say for the sheer creativity and imaginativeness shown by this group.
And let me tell you I am not being kind to them… they truly were great. If you know me you know that I don’t find it easy to praise people. But this time this group really deserves all the credit.
The most important factor in their act was their innovative and original idea. I have never seen or heard anything like this before. I request everyone to check out their act.

Bravo ... The illuminati….Bravo!
