Go to Control Panel/System Devices.
Right click the cam, choose Update Driver. Choose to MANUALLY install it. (Don't search, I will install)
Now, browse to the Sound, Video, Game controllers.
Then browse to Sony. Not the Sony Electronics folder. In there, you'll find a driver called DVHS. Double Click it. It will update. You should see the cam come in then.


Somewhere on the forum, I've posted more detailed instructions, but these should get you going

I looked back at the manual and all I had to do was change a couple things in the camera and it was working fine. Thanks anyways.

Timely information for me. I finally took the plunge and ordered the FX-1 from B&H. Should arrive on Tuesday. Spot, you are to blame for this: I've read six months of posts about VX2100/PD150/PD170 vs. FX1 or Z1 and finally decided your arguments in favor of HDV format all made sense. Also, the FX1 just "felt" like a better camera. I'm doing a ballet performance on the 10th and hopefully will be competent by then.

LOL -- Now, I'd pay good money to see that! John Meyer in a tutu! ;o)

Boy, I agree. That is a frightening prospect. Just shows how sloppy language can get one into trouble. The verb "doing" has all sorts of nuanced meanings, some of them, shall we say, tending towards the risque. Go down that path, and doing a ballet performance generates images even more frightening than the one of me in a tutu.
