Good day,
My HP m1050y PC is not recognizing my Canon ZR200 digital video camera while it is playing tape. I installed all software included with the camera, and I registered it with Canon. No matter what software I download and install, nothing recognizes and captures the video tape.
The odd thing is that it connects right up when I flip the switch to digital and activate the SD card. I'm sure that I'm missing something stupid, but I'm not figuring it out. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
