IMPORTANT: Do not connect the Memory Stick reader, Camcorder and Camera to the computer when installing this driver. The Memory Stick reader, Video Casette recorder, Camcorder and Camera should only be connected to the computer after the driver installation has been completed. If you have already connected the card reader to the computer, disconnect the card reader before proceeding with the steps below.
If I haven't convinced you to use the Firewire port yet, then let's continue with the USB installation. First, download the USBDRVEN.EXE driver software. This driver works with virtually all Sony Handycam's on the Windows XP. This document will show you how to install that driver on Windows Vista.
