I too have a sony digital camcorder. My computer uses an MSI motherboard
with built in IEEE 1394 port. My camcorder was working on the port until
about Sept 19 roughly. I went on holidays and when I got back of course
wished to download the tape. Windows recognized the camera being there, but,
NONE of the video editing programs including the software included with the
camera, could find the camera. USB port worked fine. Perhaps this has
something to do with your problem as well? What happens if I try to
reinstall the camera, is that it recognizes that there is a sony dv camcorder
there, and starts to install the Hardware. It then exits with a 'problem
installing your hardware' message.
Perhpas one of the gurus here can corelate both problems and fix us both??
