My PC doesn't recognise my camcorder anymore.?

Question

I have a JVC hard disk camcorder Everio GZ-MG77AA. I have downloaded movies before, ( a year or so ago), but this week I tried to download more and the PC can't see the camcorder. I uninstalled and reinstalled the software but still nothing! Do I need to install something else?

Answer 1

If the camcorder's OK I'd check the USB cable and USB port on the PC.

Answer 2

Is the camcorder turned on in the "Play" mode when it's plugged into your computer's USB port?  My digital camera doesn't become recognized by my laptop unless it's turned on and in the "Play" mode.  Other than that, I can't see anything else that could be wrong.  You've re-installed the drivers and it still can't see it?
