Can't connect to Sony TRV33

[Guest]

Hi. I can see my Sony DV Device in the 'available devices' window within
the 'Video Capture Wizard', however when i click on it WMM gives me an error
message "a problem was encountered when trying to connect, check your capture
devices and try again". I'm using a firewire cable and I've tried the
WinDV free software and that works fine to upload the AVI file from this
camera to my Media centre pc. This tells me the problem is not likely
hardware. Why can't WMM connect to my Sony DV handycam?
Thanks
Michael

Check in your event logs (via Event Viewer) to see if there is any more
detailed description of the problem.
