camera your dead in the water.
Go back to xp.

I have a Sony HDV FX7 camcorder that acknowledges the conection by firewire
to my laptop running Vista Ultimate. My laptop however cannot 'see' the
camcorder. I am using Pinacle software but the problem exists also with
Microsoft moviemaker. Help Please
