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:))

To my knowledge the drivers only went up to XP. If the XP driver doesn't work... you might be able to bypass certification authorization of the driver and try to force it to work... I would first try generic A/V drivers first. Bypassing driver signing can cause all sorts of nasty hardware issues. Unfortunately compatibility with with older hardware is a big issue with Vista/Windows 7This is considered UNSAFE use at your own risk.You can enter bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS at the command prompt.Reboot machine.Then try installing XP drivers... you have a slim chance they may work.Try contacting JVC support for any driver updates.

Have you looked in the manual ?

Not sure , do you mean safe mode ?

Take camera and its battery to a camera outlet, ask them to check the built-in rechargeable battery. Most outlets will help you with this, as its likely that if the battery has failed, you'll buy a replacement from the same dealer.

not sure on this one but it might be the heads in your vid cam may need cleaning. or the tapes are not running straight on the heads or the rollers in side. if the vid cam has been in a cold place it can cause this fault as the heads may have a bit of damp. try putting a tape in and run it fast forword in play mode and see if starts to clear the playhead.if it does keep doing it until you see a clear picture. this could also be a head misalignment fault if it is you will have to take it to some one to have a look at. if any of the above does not work then you will have to take to some one to look at it. .

Sounds as if the battery needs replacing - have you tried with a spare battery ?

The heads need cleaning. DO NOT USE A HEAD CLEANING TAPE. Thats like holding sand paper to the drum. Use alcohol and a swab.

Do you have the sd card that holds the pictures? Put in computer. Computer will give you option how to open and save photos. You do not have to use makers software disc, any photo reader can store your pictures on computer.
