Instead of using the Sony software, try importing it through Windows Movie Maker.
Plug your camcorder in, and if the Sony software loads, close it. Open Windows Movie Maker (it's in the Start menu, All Programs) and try a File -> Import, and see if Movie Maker can detect the camcorder. If it can, and if you can import the videos that way, then something is wrong with the Sony software (try reinstalling it?). If it cannot detect the camcorder, then maybe you have to enable a setting on the camcorder to get it to communicate with the computer, or maybe something is wrong with the cable (doubtful). |
