MVC FD-97 and others using USBDRVEN installer
Sony Camcorder
Sony DSC
Sony Peripheral
Windows 7, Windows Vista
5.1.2600.0 (1-Jul-2001)
(unpacked with USBDRVEN) will not
execute with Windows 7. I Installed
the USB driver on Windows XP, copied
the driver files SONYPVU1.inf and
SONYPVU1.sys and uploaded them here.
1) Download the two files and place them in a folder on you desktop or wherever you might want to save them.
2) Plug your USB cord into your
MVC-FD97 ( or any camera that uses
the USBDRVEN installer ) and computer,
and turn on the camera.
3) After Windows 7 says it can't find drivers for the camera, open the device manager and right click on
Sony DSC (which should have an exclamation after it) and click
Update Driver Software.
4) Choose "browse for driver software"
and choose the folder with the downloaded files and click

Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Sony Driver Update Utility. It is a software utility which automatically finds and downloads the right driver.
To find the newest driver, you may need to visit the Sony website. Most major device manufacturers update their drivers regularly.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
In Windows 11, Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager
In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager
In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button
Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
Select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.
In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
