VV 3 and Video Capture

I'm having trouble getting the Video Capture program within VV3 to work. (THE SPECS: Dell Pentium P4 @ 2gig w/2gb memory and 2 Ultra SCSI 10,000 RPM drives.) The 1394 card is OHCI compliant. The OS is windows XP. I am trying to capture analogue video using a Canopus ADVC 100. Using the Windows XP supplied monitor I can see all of the video is arriving at the computer. I am also able to capture the video using the SONY DV Gate program. However, when I launch Video Capture from within VV3 the program reacts very slowly. It takes quite a while to respond to all commands. And no matter which option I select it never captures the video. As a test I also put the application on my SONY Vaio laptop with exactly the same results. DVGATE captured the video but VV capture will not. What am I missing?

DV gate and Vegas/SF Vidcap don't play nicely together. You can use this utility to remove/restore DV Gate and its associated components:

There are no remnents of DV Gate on the Dell at this point. Capture still behaves the same way. I only put on on the machine to make certain the hardware functioned. But I even checked the registry to make sure it was "completely" gone. I have not attempted to remove it from the laptop since it was native there and currently, it's the only reliable way I have to capture the video. I'd just like to get capture running on the Dell, which is where I plan to do my editing. BTW -- VV3 runs superbly with that much horsepower.
