"Google's Picasa2" has an option of "Import Pictures" ->select the Device & run it.

btw doesn't the Camera show up as a "Drive" in "My Computer", if it does, then copy the contents of "DCIM" folder.

i don't want to copy but want to see a video of myself on the computer as we do it on the camera.

ok, then does the Auto-Run window pop up, when you connect the Camera???
(i'm assuming that the Camera is shown as a Drive in "My Computer" window)

If it does, then select Windows Media Player, (or other player of your choice) & press OK.
WMP will scan the Memory Stick & show the Video. now play & enjoy.

or, just open the DCIM folder (in camera), select the video & double click to play.

If you are provided with a Sony s/w (with camera), dont install it. its a complete waste.
I've Sony DSC P41 digital camera (bought frm USA), it came with a s/w CD, & that Sony s/w was a complete bullsh1t. the transfer/file viewing was darn slow .

@Ashish-Isn't that for the DSC-S60? His is W30.
@Pritish-I suggest that you take a look at this link
I would first suggest that you go through the manual and see if your camera really has the feature of using it as a web cam. If not, I don't think you can use it like one. In case it does, please post your problem here and we'll see what how we can help you.

P.S-Don't forget Google
