What software are you trying to capture to? Pass-thru is known to be
difficult... see PapaJohn's website at www.papajohn.og

So sorry Cari, I should know by now to be more specific. I first load Windows Movie Maker from the accessories drop down. When I click on record, the small monitor window on the menu page turns black instead of showing the video I am supposed to be sending to wmm. I think the two bits of info on papadoc refers to the computer monitor ( which I think you were also, due to my poor command of the English language ) By the way, I can't get Roxio 7 to work either, anything to do with zone alarm?

Check your Firewire connection in device manager. The ADVC-100 is about the
most reliable device for capture, so unless it is a wiring or device driver
issue, that is strange. Don't forget to check the Canopus site (the slow
one... ;) ) for possible solutions.
 
Just remembered from another post, you could use Scenalyzer to capture. I
think it has a free demo too.
Search and ye shall find.
