Am I Doomed? Sharp VL-NZ105 Camcorder
Sharp Video MiniDV Camcorder Model VL-NZ105.
"Device drive software was not successfully installed".
"Unidentifed Device".
It appears that Sharp does not manufacture camcorders anymore.
Other than using this with an XP computer:
So am I doomed with this Sharp Camcorder for Windows 7 and Vista?

Well I meant colloquially.
The camera still operates perfectly.
So basically, the best I can do is to dig up my old XP computer? Is that the final answer?

This Sharp is a neat camcorder. Looks different from most of that era and today.
It does take still digital pictures on an SD card but the video is MiniDV.
But that does raise a good point.
Could I pick up a cheap or even borrow some other MiniDV camcorder and put the tape inside that? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 410
