Thanks for your message.
The way this is going I think I may have to fork out more money and get and
iLink socket fitted to this 'brand' new computer. All a bit depressing really.
Why don't the manufactures keep one eye on what impact changing things has
on the end user?
Again, thanks for your help.

Yep, Microsoft changed something in the native drivers for Vista. My FX1
use to work flawlessly under all of the betas and RCs of Vista but in the
final release it's a no go.

The camera is recognized but only Windows Movie Maker can capture the video.
I use firewire as my connection. The camcorder use to be recognized as two
different devices but on RTM it now only is recornized as one device. The
drivers are different than under XP. So my major two apps for capturing
video don't see it any longer. I boot into XP to capture and then back to
Vista to edit. Hoping to find a resolution to the problem but so far Sony
and MS are not of much help.

Um, have you talked to Sony? This isn't the first Sony product I've heard
of that doesn't work on Vista...

Hi all, hope someone out there can help me.
I own a Sony Video Camera.
Type DCR-TRV265E Easy HandyCam Digital 8.
It has USB Streaming and digital in and out.
It also has ilink facilities.

On purchasing a Dell Dimension Computer last week I have found that I
have a
problem connecting it to download my films.
This computer now runs Vista Premium.
The 'Picture Package' Ver 1 software seems to load and I can see my film
when I am running the 'adjust and confirm USB stream'; but when it comes
to
downloading the film the whole thing shuts down. It says something about
destination file lost.
I have found that when I try to run it through the Microsoft moviemaker
it
can not detect the camera, (a problem I never had with my previous
computer
running Microsoft XP). I should say that I'm using a USB cable.
The weird thing is that the hardware devices folder in the control panel
does detect the camera and says it is working properly.
I have spoke to Dell support but too little avail. They say I should try
the
iLink cable, but I never needed it before with my previous and much older
computer.
Can you help?
Is there a download or patch for this problem?
Is there another way round it?
I should add that although my camera can use a firewire or iLink cable
this
new computer doesn't have a port, although maybe I could get on fitted at
a
later date.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Ian Caira.
