Answer 1

Normally, the drivers for various devices are bundled w/ Vista.

Try this:

Before cable purchase** (Vcam/4pin=>firewireCABLE=>PC (4/ 6pin?), check pc for DV or firewire port, whether 4 or 6 pin. If none, install firewire card: pci for pc or pcmcia for laptop.

Answer 2

Firewire drivers aren't specific to the camcorder, they're bundled with the OS.  You haven't said whether or not you found the IEEE1394 Bus host controller via "Computer".  If you did, expand it, right click on the controller and uninstall it.  It should reinstall OK when you reboot the PC.
