Here is a possible solution that I found on the Sony website...
"Error Messages"
There is an error code that begins with E or C on the camera LCD.
Follow the steps below to try resolving the error.
IMPORTANT: For information about specific error codes and their causes, consult the instruction manual for the camera. Instruction manuals are available online in the Manuals/Specs/Warranty section of the Sony® eSupport Web site.
1. Verify that a Sony battery or AC power adapter is being used.
2. Try replacing the recording media.
3. Reset the camera back to the factory defaults.
"The troubleshooting steps listed above should resolve your issue. If you have completed all of the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required. The Sony eService Web site at http://eservice.sony.com/ can assist you in obtaining service from a Sony Service Center or locating a Sony Authorized Servicer in your area".
However, it may be just as sensible to buy a newer, better camera if a fix-it is going to be too costly.

Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa.
picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera.
It can Edit , organise and Share you picture and small video flips.
It's very easy to use and is free, just like Google
Download it free in here:

Good Luck and Best Wishes!

If you take it to a place like Ritz Camera (for example, idk if they have them where you live) or a camera repair shop, they can usually fix cameras at a reasonable price. My grandma had a problem like that and they fixed it and she said it was pretty cheap.

Realistically? Buy a new camera.

I think it has something to do with the gears in there. Did you drop it? Is it still under warranty? I don't know if it is really a "user accessible" repair.

Check the battery if that doesn't work then go to radioshack or something.
