Vista Home Premium does not see my HDV camera

I recently bought a Sony Z5U HD camera and tried to connect to my Vista Premium 64 bit laptop.  Windows don't "bong" and recognize that anything that either is connected. If I plug an older camera, it works fine as it should, so I don't know that the firewire connection works correctly.  In addition, I plug the same new camera to a tower of XP and it works fine. I contacted Sony and they said that Microsoft has not added 64-bit cameras HDV codec on Vista 64 and I should downgrade the operating system to 32 bit, which sounds extreme.  I googled for the 64-bit codecs, and everything I can find relates to play a variety of file types video in Windows Media Player, which seems CLOSE, but not quite accurate that I know this might solve my problem.  There are codecs that I can install to allow my HDV camera to be recognized by my Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS?

==========================================
Wow! It's a camera! You may want to consider
a more advanced program for your video editing.

Here's a possibility:

Sony Vegas Pro 9http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro

No guarantee... but maybe the following codec pack
worth to try:

* Proceed at your own risk *.

K - Lite Codec Pack 64-bit
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/KLite-codec-pack-64bit/1094057842/5
FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
point before installing any software or updates.

    Programs ceased work and the report of windows and kept solutions problems popping up, I think I have more than 40 unresolved issues.
    So if I haven´? t been on the laptop for a while, I start the blue screen of death and won´? boot t 20 minutes because it is proposed running a reboot each time due to the blue screen. I put the computer several times and still have the same effect after a while.

    I think that this could be a software issue more then a hardware problem but I don´? t want to go back to windows XP.
    I have can´? install service pack 1, when I try and install it says there is an internal error.

  • Vista Home Premium does not recognize a new 500 GB HARD drive.

    I installed a WD 500 GB drive in my Emachines computer.   He appears in "Device Manager" who says it works correctly, but the OS not the poster not in 'My Computer'.  Is there a limit on the size of the disk in Vista?

    Have you partitioned/formatted it?

    If not, right click on computer > manage > storage > disk management.

    Now right click on the graph for the reader, and select new simple volume. Allocate the amount of space you want to use it, i.e. all or certain of them so that you can have more than one partition on the disk. Now do a right click and format it. Repeat the new simple volume if you decided to make several partitions.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  • Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

    Hello

    My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
    In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

    When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
    I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

    I hope you understand what I mean.

    The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
    He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

    Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

    > The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    > It meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.

    That's nonsense for me
    The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
    There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

    You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
    Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
    LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
    But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

    But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
    Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

    Hello

    You mean reinstall the OS completely? If you have Vista DVD you can do however make sure to
    totally your data off the drive of backup, and you need to reinstall your programs. If you do not
    Disks of Vista, you can buy them in your machine to cheap system. If you don't care about existing programs
    Then you can make a complete new installation - just select the format options that erases the entire disc (this
    Clears all data as well).

    Some system manufacturers use Partitions recovery and other methods to allow you to go back to a
    completely new facility. So check with your system manufacturer to see what options you must do
    - and it's certainly doable - just a question of the process the manufacturer of the system set in place to
