I have solved the problem, but I am not sure how. I have downloaded all
vista updates, it seems that has done the trick.

I can tell you what it was not :
- no hardware problem, no change of ilink cable, no issue with the 1394 ports
- no issue with Sony, it seems their camera IS compatible and does not even
require a download of steering program

So that only leaves vista, doesn't it?

I have a canon ZR850 connected via Firewire. The camcorder believes it is
connected (says DV_IN on the LCD) but it is not recognized by Windows XP.
This has been very frustrating. any help would be greatly appreciated.

The good news is, I am not alone with this problem. I have a sony DCR-
TRV 330 E, according sony site it should be compatible with Vista via 1394,
but clearly it is not. I will definetly not by a new Sony camera again.

Anyone ever solved the issue?

Sorry... I don't have any idea. I am now considering replacing my camcorder
with a new one. Might not choose Sony next time. Anyway, good luck.
