If you can't make the USB cable work (I can't either), then I wonder why you kept the unit.
While I've learned to just get the firewire cable and move on, some will insist that the USB should work. Maybe its best for them and I to part ways at this point?

Hello All
sorry for bringing up the same issue again but it seems like Sony has not made a success with these ones. my sony is also not connecting to my poor dell laptop. the software is properly installed and driver seems to work ok. but it just wont see the camere to capture images. the cam came with the usb cable and another one to connect to the TV. I saw your earlier messages saying use firewire not usb to capture from the camera, not sure what cable you are talking about. surely they are not stupid enough to send a wrong cable wrapped up in the box or are they really? if it wont work with the USB cable, what is the alternative? something easily found? I tried updating the driver tru sony website product downloads but they dont even list this model anymore!
can anyone help me out please? your time is much appreciated!
cheers
