Sony DCR-HC45E camcorder.

I have a Sony DCR-HC45E camcorder which I connected to my old computer running Windows7 using a firewire Ilink cable.

I bought myself a new computer and haven't used my camcorder for a while.

Just tried to transfer my holiday video to the new computer and as it does not have a firewire Ilink I connected using a USB cable.

It does not work, the camcorder is not recognised by the computer, so I contacted Sony and have just had their reply.

Thank you for your recent e-mail.

In regards to the query with your Sony DCR-HC45E not working.

You have to use an Ilink cable with this camera if you are using Windows 7 otherwise ti will not work.

I hope this information is of some assistance. Thank you for your enquiry.

Any suggestions?
