I don't know about your particular camera, but I have a similar Canon. Downloading via the supplied software takes an age. I just take the SD card out of the camera, stick it in the computer and drag the files over. You say you have installed the camera drivers, so basically you should be able to copy the clips direct from the camera using Explorer. Unless you use the camera download software - which is just a basic editing/download suite, yYou might need file conversion software to deal with them afterwards, depending on the format the camera saves to. You'll know because if you click play and Windows says it doesn't recognize the file, you'll need to convert it. I use Wondershare Video converter but the are many choices out there.

Try formating your computer and re-installing vista home premium.

Are you sure you have an SD card, 2GB or smaller? The HDV146 will not work with higher-capacity SDHC cards.

Here's what I would try: Plug it into the computer and treat it as an external hard drive. Look it up in Explore and copy what you want to the computer.

A more detailed explanation would certainly be helpful.

Follow the detailed, explicit instructions contained within the manual

I don't think a flash gun will be of any use, as they emit a single burst of high intensity light. You need some form of continuous lighting - check ebay for camcorder lighting, you may find something.
