What do I need to hookup my dcr-hc52 to my HP computer, running windows 7. My camera did not come with software to install anything on the computer. I have a cord with Dv in end and USB end on the other end. This is the only option I hav,e at the moment, to connect to the computer. But it doesn't recognize the camera. So what do I need to do?? I would like to put on the computer some of my video's, plus share with family. Thanks a bunch, C.M.

Your local friendly camera shop, or Ebay - or Sony themselves.

If you use windows 7 - its the same windows vista, or install what u find and in properties select run in windows xp

Well you could use another cable that you can buy from Electronic shops and it's called the i-link cable or 1394 or Firewire. You have to buy the more durable ones which are more expensive as these work better.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

This happens only mostly if you connect camera on Firewire AFTER you been PC okay, so plug your camera in the Firewire sockets then put your PC on, then the PC will open the firewire port up for use and set up a user port adrs for the port.

use a PC add on card and use movie maker

Perhaps a USB to Firewire dongle will help sort you out. As you have discovered those two are not compatible. To make it work, you MUST get a 4 pin card and install it, or the USB solution.

Its LCD flex cutoff so that touch panel is not working it need to be replace

Not compatible or not working well with windows 7?
(make your program/application run with windows 7)

Maybe, It doesn't work because the driver/application you installed is for other versions of operating system. I am also using windows 7 like you so don't you worry, You can still use your old installer/driver from other versions of operating systems. Just remember that before installing any program in a windows 7 Operating System Computer, Use "troubleshoot compatibility". Right Click the Icon of your program installer/application first, then choose "troubleshoot compatibility". This will allow you to choose on what type operating system your program will run. Just reply back if it still doesn't work.:D rate and vote for me:))

You need the connecting cable that came with the unit it has a mioni USM or pin connector one end and USB to the computer at the other end.
Windows discovers the camera via the USB cable and allows transfer of material.
If you dont have a cable purchase the right one from a camkera store
