VV and Canon XL-1 PAL

I am trying to use VV to edit footage shot on a Canon XL-1 PAL camcorder. The problem I am having is Windows XP recognizes I have plugged in a device but all it sees it as is a "AV/C Subunit" and it can't find the drivers. So I can't even capture the video. Everything else I have plugged in (camcorders, hard drives, DV Decks) has worked perfectly. Has anyone had this problem besides me? Thanks in advance for any help.

This is from another forum:

The Problem: Cannot work DV camera in Windows XP because it keeps wanting
to load some freaking "AV/C Subunit driver."

The Cause:

Windows XP renames two (2) files in the C:\Windows\Inf directory. This is
a hidden directory, so make sure your folder options are set to view
hidden folders.

Find a file that starts with "Msdv.inf" it may have a ".1" or ".f1" at
then end and rename it simply "Msdv.inf"

Then do the same for "Msdv.pnf" Find a file that starts with "Msdv.pnf"
it too may have a ".1" or ".f1" at then end and rename it simply
"Msdv.pnf"
