Thank you for the help everyone. I uninstalled all things related to the firewire card and rebooted. I then reinserted the card into the computer and let vista download the driver instead of using the disk provided. (that is where the problem was, the disk was loading a driver for the 9 pin connection on the card.) everything is running good now. Time to start editing. Blue skies

Thanks I will try it when I get home today. Let you know what happens.

I had to send back my TRV-33 for the CCD 2 years ago and has been working like a champ since have had no problems. It has lasted two years of jumping, vacations, and anything else I have put it through. Mine went to San Diego and they seemed to do a good job. The only problem (and it was my own stupid mistake.) was that I forgot to take my memory card out of the slot, they said to not send anything but the camera so my fault. Never used it anyways.

To anyone that has any idea how to help me. I have a TRV-33. I have a Dell Laptop with windows vista on it and I just bought an express card with a 6-pin firewire connection in it so that I could hook my camera up to my laptop when I plug in my camcorder and try to transfer video it says that it can not find the camera. The cable and camera work fine on my XP desktop so it has to be with windows vista (POS in my opinion) Does anyone have any ideas how to make this work. I have tried turning off my firewall to see if that is what is causing the problem and still does not work. Thank you in advance for any help or ideas and if I figure something out I will post back so that others may have help.
