Vista/IEE 1394 won't pick up Mini DV CAM!?

I got a investigational laptop and I wanted to upload video from my JVC GR-D650U onto it. I connected it through USB cable and the Laptop didn't pick it up. I got a firewire for it and it still won't pick up. When I used to connect the DVcam to my ancient Windows XP PC through USB it would work fine. I know the USB port is fine because it picks up all my other appliances. As for my IEE 1394 port, I tried uninstalling the driver, restarting the computer and reinstalling the driver but no results. I tried plugging my camcorder contained by my roommate's laptop she has XP and it still didn't pick up the camcorder.

Any Suggestions?
Or should I dance buy a new Firewire cord. (though I basically bought this one)


Answers:    Try connecting your camera and (even if nothing happens) try capture in an editing program (unless that's what you're already doing). Although it's unlikely, sometimes it will be capable of capture even if it doesn't show up. You could also try making sure the cable is carefully attached by holding it with your fingers and see if it make a difference. Other than that, you could try getting another firewire cable. I don't know if you've tried this already, but you said the USB port on your vista laptop isn't detecting the camera, so you could try using the CD that come with your camera and see if within are any drivers. Hopefully this helped a bit!
my jvc camcorder have the same problem, however my sony and pansonic gear connects as expected.
