Hi, can anyone help me with my driver problem? I have a DCR HC-18E handycam but my operating system (vista 64bit ultimate) wont let it run? How/where do I get drivers for this problem?

Hi Karl,

welcome to Questions & Answers..:smileyhappy:

It seems the original drivers & software are not Vista or windows 7 compatible..

Does your PC have a firewire (iLink) port, if so try connecting your HC-18 to your PC using that port.?

Hi Sinclair147,

you should be able to purchase a FireWire cable from Maplins or similar local pc/electronics store..
