Answer 1

You should check your manual again but most likely you have a faulty canon, take it back to the manufacturer for repair

Answer 2

I don't know what you mean by a "full clean up", so I can't comment on that.  I'm guessing that the problem is your disk's not fast enough - your video files are very big, so you need to transfer a lot of data quickly.  If it was working OK before, it could be that the disk's badly fragmented or, just maybe, DMA isn't enabled for that disk.  Another possibility is that you've got a CD drive that's slowing things down - if you're using it at the same time that you do your video capture, stop it!

You can check whether your disk needs defragmenting by going to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Computer Management   The defragmenter is under Storage.

While you're in Computer Management you should see Device Manager under System Tools.  Double click on it and then expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.  Right click on each of the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels, select Properties and then Advanced Settings.   Set every transfer mode you can get at to "DMA if available".
