First of all, to help, we must know the exact wording of the error message. Secondly, are you sure that this software is compatible with your OS ?

What OS do you have? The drivers and software for supported OS versions are here: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=DCRSR80 . Select your OS in the drop down menu and then expand the correct section (Driver and compatibility or Picture Motion Browser).

I hope this helps.

The most likely cause for this is a damaged or defective flexible ribbon cable that connects the LCD to the camera body and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

My name is Rick and I'm a professional repair technician with over 20 years in the business and have repaired many of these. I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.
