1114215 2010-06-28 11:27:00 I have just purchased a new laptop and to enable me to down load video from my Sony camcorder I have purchased an Express card 34 with a firewire connection.
On inserting the express card the laptop has loaded the correct drivers and it is reconised in the device manager as VIA 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller.
When I connect the DV camcorder to the express card with the firewire cable the computer does not reconise the camcorder.
I have a disc with the camcorder driver on it but it is not reconised by windows 7 and using Google I havnt been able to find a later driver.
Can any ons suggest what I need to do to enable my laptop to reconise the camcorder when it is connected to the express card.
Thanks

1114216 2010-06-28 11:32:00 Does the cam have a 3 way switch (like off/VCR/camera), or similar?? If it does switch it. Windows may then pick it up. I have to switch the cam here to camera before windows picks it up Speedy Gonzales (78)

1114218 2010-06-28 14:10:00 Hmm, and did you try moving the switch to the different options, if its got on/off/vcr/camera on the cam? I can check it out tomorrow using teamviewer, If you like. Just send me the ID and password (in teamviewer, once you install it) in a PM. So, I can log in. Look in device manager, when you move the switch around. Something SHOULD come up under imaging Speedy Gonzales (78)
