Can't access camera after loading SP1 to XP

Hi,

I have found (a couple of times that after I upgrade my XP software to service pack 1, Vegas can no longer communicate with my cameras. I have both Canon GL1 and Panasonic PV DV900's. and neither of them work.

Both cameras are recognized by the OS, but it is when I go to Capture Mode in Vegas 4 that I get the message "Device DV Camera" could not be opened. Make sure that it is turned on and is not being used by another program or user".

I don't have any other programs using the camera(s). Last time this happened it took me quite a while to reload my system. (I basically had to start with a fresh install of everything, and I am not in the mood to do that again). I can't find anything about this problem on the web, but thought some of you may have some suggestions.

Regards,

Joseph

Does anyone have any suggestions that would be less dramatic than starting fresh?
