Vista - Video Capture/Import Problems

I have Vista home premium and a pretty high spec machine that has already
been used to capture video from my DV camcorder. However, recently I have
been getting a problem.

When I connect the camcorder (mains powered, connected by firewire and in
playback mode) I get the usual camera recognised noise and autoplay comes up
suggesting a digital video device. However, whether I choose to capture or
import I then get another error box advising that a "compatible device"
couldn't be found.

I've checked the firewire cable and the card, I have the latest OHCI
compliant drivers. As I've said I have already used the DV camcorder to
import a number of tapes.

Any ideas would be welcome - I'm lost for a solution.

You can try this:

Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
your account full control.

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT
