Device Driver required for Panasonic NV-DS55 Digital Video Camera connected to a laptop running Windows 7. Please advise where I can obtain this from. thanks Renee

USB will only transfer the still picture.
For video you require a firewire cable.
Please note the sockets on the computer as they can be 6 or 9 pin depending on make/model.
The camera will be 4 pin.

I don't think you do. According to the Panasonic document "Operating Instructions (PC-Connection)", your camera does not use a USB connection and did not even come with the software CD that was shipped with cameras that have a USB connection.

You need to use the Firewire (DV) interface to transfer videos, and this does not require drivers. It does require Windows XP with service pack 2 (or 3) and DirectX 9.0b/9.0c, and you will probably need to fit a Firewire interface card to the computer's internal PCI bus, as most Windows computers don't come with this connection. Whether this camera will work with Windows 7 is not covered by the document.

You then use various video editing software (commercially available or free downloads from the internet) to download the recordings. The software on the computer controls my Mini-DV camera, including rewinding and play functions to record from the tape in the camera.

The USB driver gven by the manufacturer is not installing on the Laptop. you should NOT need a USB driver with windows 7 - the USB should automatically detect the camera

the best solution is to buy another camera

what driver are you looking for. camcorder w/ vista should not require drivers as adequate native drivers are included. if it's a specific driver for functionality not supported by native drivers, run the installer in compatibility mode with adminstrative privileges and it should install just fine.
