Only flash and hard drive camcorders use the usb cord to download. Minidv requires a firewire connection.
WMM does not support all file types,like mpeg4 or mod files, so you might have a problem there. You might have to convert the files before you can use them. http://www.handbrake.fr is a free converter.
Make sure your digital camera is in playback/review mode.

If it shows up under MY COMPUTER (on Vista Start>Computer) You need only to open its folder and drag them to your desktop.
If it doesn’t, and it uses an SD card (Blue Card), you can put that in a digital camera or SD card slot and do the same thing.
If that doesn’t work, you need a FireWire connection.
Good Luck
