Fire wire is old and never competed with USB. They may be able to transfer data, but you probably fried your camera. Possibly due to older USB format.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa or Nikon Transfer.

You can use a firewire to USB adapter.

connect the mini usb calbe to Camera only. Camera will working like used to be without cable. Go to setup menu and Change USB setting to P, PTP. then unplug the miniusb and hopefully camera will work as it once was.

It worked for me :)

dont bother to connect camera to pc..just use the SD card reader...either external usb one or laptops internal one

I had the same problem. I tried to solve this issue by buying a dvdmaker usb 2.0 gizmo. I have to use my VHSc cassette adapter and put it in the vcr.I connected the vcr and new gizmo to the pc and could see the video on my monitor- but no audio. So I tried plan b, which didn't requite any other purchases. I connected my old camcorder to my newer digital canon camcorder (which converts the signal from analog to digital) this in turn, is connected by a firewire to my pc. I can see (and hear) the video on the viewer of the camcorder. So far, it isn't being captured by my pc. Is this a Vista issue ? I don't know. I'm hopeful... I'll figure it out!

Мне тоже драйвера нужны, киньте ссылочку)))
