Sony are rather poor at producing windows 7 drivers so you will probably just have to wait I'm afraid!

yup, but to save waiting sometimes Vista drivers work in 7 and another alternative is to look for a 'lower' level driver (for a simpler camera for example) that is more generic, you may loose some facilities of the camera but it may work.

Graphics drivers seem to be the biggest problem by far!
