I need driver for transfer PV-GS39 camcorder to my laptop with window 7 where can I find the good driver

If Microsoft does not have a driver for this device, you won't find one.
When you connect something to an USB port for the first time, don't hope to much. You have to be sure the computer has the correct software to recognise the hardware and can work with it. From Windows 7 and up, for all hardware that is certified with Microsoft, you can download the drivers from Microsoft. Lots of hardware is recognised when connected and will initiate a download from Microsoft. But not all hardware will do so and not all hardware is compatible (same as not certified by Microsoft from Windows 7 and up) with the new operating systems.

Most things that worked fine with Windows XP and or Vista, can fail with Windows 7 and 8, because the factory that made the hardware in the first place does not ask for certification with Microsoft for their old Hardware. They only spend time and money to get their new hardware certified on the new operating systems. So to make sure your hardware is compatible with the OS. Check the manual and find out, what you have to do so it will work on your computer.
If your device was working on a USB2 port, it also should work on an USB3 port, on the same computer. But don't expect another speed, because the slowest part decides the speed.

PLEASE READ THIS TOO:
if you can't install program's that came with your camera. try some generic software for photos and videos like Ulead, Pixir, BeFunkey, Gimp, Photoshop express. Or if that is not possible you could install an external memory card reader and download the videos via de memory card reader. If there is a memory card.

Is there an up-date which will allow dimage Z6 to use a 4 GB storage card please. My camaera will only recognise up to 2GB SD card.

Sorry, no. SD cards max out at 2GB. Larger SDHC cards are electronically incompatible and will only work in devices specifically designed to accept them. It's a hardware incompatibility and no amount of firmware changes will make a SD device accept SDHC cards.

Dell Vostro 1000 will not recognise television

Are you sure it's "F8" only? Usually most laptops use the FN+F5 to change video to external display.

I have new emachine laptop . I bought a usb cable with firewire-1394-4 pin to download from my gr-d240 camcorder . But laptop does not accept/recognise it ...usb is only connection on laptop

Ok, so the cam accepts firewire but the laptop doesint, you would need an add-on card, unless your laptop has firewire already, http://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/26/3c/2868_1.JPG like that one if it does have one then you will just need to connect it in and install the drivers and software included with the cam i hope it helps

Difficulty connecting to laptop

Assuming your laptop is XP then it should recognise the camera as another drive. Have you installed the Camera software that come on a disk? If so uninstall it and let Windows do the work. The other way is to invest in a cheap USB card reader
