Cannot download video to windows vista

I have a Canon zr45mc, and I cannot download video to Windows Vista. Vista claims to need a device driver; I can't find one online and Canon's website both says that no driver is needed and that an updated driver isn't supported for Vista. The computer recognizes that the camera is plugged in (I'm doing this via UBS) when it's on "Tape", but as soon as I switch to "Video" the computer says that there's no device.

    When I tried to download pics from my camcorder it read that there are compatabilty problems with windows vista. It did however note that I was connected by USB, but it did not download and I was not given any solutions. It also noted that my zoombrowzer is being used, how is that possible?

A USB cable will not transfer video from this camera. you have to have the video cable, which plugs in at the bottom of the front of the camera, next to the S-video. Hope this helps.

Veo webcam compatability with windows vista

Hi

The general install procedure for USB devices is to install the drivers/software first then connect the device. The PC should then detect and initialize the device.

I however recommend you check and follow manufacture's guidance/steps.

If you don't have the drivers/softwrae, download the drivers/software from the link below.

Nero Image - http://www.nztechie.com/downloads/ISO/VeoInstallCD.nrg
ISO Image - http://www.nztechie.com/downloads/ISO/VeoInstallCD.iso
NB: About 154MB. You need to extract the CD Image file or burn it to CD using appropriate software.

The install CD claims compatibility with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. It should be compatible with Windows Vista when compatibility mode is used.

Unfortunately there appears to be no Vista Driver available from Canon. IF and is said IF it does eventually become available this would be how to find it.

This page offers information as to vista compatibility but I saw no news about pending drivers for inkjet multifunctional devices. There were some projections for laser multifunctional devices.
