SYMPTOMS
When you connect your digital video (DV) camera to your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer by using an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 cable, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
 * The digital video camera is not detected correctly.
 * Even if the digital video camera is detected correctly and the digital video driver is loaded correctly, you cannot use the Replay and the Stop functions in a digital video program such as Microsoft Windows Movie Maker.
 * When you try to use Windows Movie Maker with the digital video camera, Windows Movie Maker stops responding (hangs).

This problem is known to occur with early Sharp digital video cameras, such as the Sharp Digital Viewcam VL-FD1 camcorder.
