Why can't I 'see' my Samsung VP D361 Mini DV camcorder contained by Windows?

I have a Samsung VP D361 Mini DV camcorder and access to a couple of laptops beside XP and Vista. I have a 4 pin IEEE1394 cable to connect the camcorder DV port to the laptop. I've downloaded the Samsung drivers, connected up and switched on.

The camcorder doesn't show the 'DV' symbol on the display, Device Manager doesn't show a camcorder lower than 'Imaging' or anywhere else and Windows Movie Maker can't find a device anywhere. Both laptops are the same.

Due to that and the missing DV symbol I guess the camcorder is the problem. Does anyone know what I hold to do to make it see the DV cable is connected?


Answers:    I haven't tried it, but at hand have be a lot of problems near firewire under Vista. XP's stable though so it's probably best to concentrate on that. The camcorder have to be switched to playback mode, so that's the obvious entry to check. Assuming that's OK, I'd go into the device executive, uninstall the IEEE1394 controller and reboot the PC. If that still doesn't work, try rebooting with the camcorder connected and switched on.
