I had this same problem with xp sp1 and can't get a handle on it. Any suggestions . . .

Camera says dv in
control panel says firewire port working
but
no capture in either premiere elements 6.5. or pro 1.5 or movie maker or windv

other forums say it's a fried connector on the camera. I'm a high school vid prod teacher working with sony trv 19, hc30, hc 85 vx2100 and panasonic gs33 cameras on 8 different work stations--xp and 2000 -- swapped out cables, swapped out pci firewire cards, switched slots in the computer--or all my cameras fried?????????

thanks for any help
