Since the latest version of DirectX 9 is already installed, there is nothing
to install

I have DirectX 9.0c and all Windows updates so it should be the latest?

I cannot choose any drivers by force since no drivers exist for
FireWire. I have now tried to install Windows XP 32 sp2 and all udpates
and it comes up as an unknown device this time and Windows Movie Maker
cannot find the camera here either. :(

You might check to see what program is set to handle the file type you are
dealing with. JPEG? JPG? etc.

I want to transfer video. I don't care about the pictures because I
don't use that feature. I don't think there is an automatic way to
transfer the video since it is lots of data. I think you have to use at
least Windows Movie Maker or some better video applications like ULead,
Pinnacle etc. It shows up as unknown device in Windows XP (32) and in
Windows 2003 x64 it showed up once as a 61883 Class Bus Device, but now
it is not there any more. I have tried the automatic install way of the
driver and I have tried to choose the driver myself, but I cannot find
any good driver since there is not driver.

According to the Sony FAQ:
http://www.sonydigital-link.com/DIME/FAQ/FAQ.asp?l=en&c=DIME&sc=DV&f=gen_downloads
they say that there are no drivers for FireWire and that it should be
included in the OS. They give you a link for troubleshooting at MS:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;294482
In this KB it says that this is a Sony problem and that I should
contact Sony for a new driver.

Both are throwing pies at each other in other words. I don't think this
is my problem though since my camera is fairly new.
