This worked!!!! I can't believe it. I dutifully followed the steps you outlined figuring 
I'd run into a dead end, but I did find Sony on the list and I did find "DSC". I 
installed it in spite of the warnings you mentioned, and I can now access my camera!

Thank you so very, very much! I had lost faith in Vista and Microsoft. Of course, 
they could have made it a little easier - as could Sony I should add.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

Tom
