web cam crashing browsers with fw-21e

hi everybody , if like me you have encounter this problem ,that your web browser crashes when trying to use your web cam on certain web site ,there is a solution quite simple ,try the following:it involves a file called BtwVdpCapFilter.dll (it is a bluetooth profile that essentially allows people to share their webcam across bluetooth BUT no one uses this) and it is what is crashing when you access the webcam thru IE/Firefox/Opera.

So go to C:\windows\system32 and rename it to anything for example BtwVdpCapFilter1.dll and everything should be fine. Sony said they will be releasing a patch for this.

it has worked for me...
