Ok, I did what you said and yes it did install but I have one other question.

I got a new Sony Handycam and it came with it's own cd so I thought I
wouldn't have any problems. The problem I am having with my camera with
Vista is that when I try to start up the program that lets me view my videos
on my computer, it keeps telling me that "To run this application, you need
to install Macromedia Flash Player first"

What do I need to do in order to get my camera working on my computer?????

I am very frustrated because before I did a few updates to vista, I couldn't
even get the computer to recognize my camera. I am still running vista
basic.
