I recently purchased a Samsung digital videocam, and my
computer (Fugitsu laptop), or my computer software
(windows XP), will not recognize my camera when I attatch
it to my USB. My computer recognizes other digital
cameras, but not the Samsung. If I try "add hardware" my
computer gives me a message that I should not continue
because it could cause problems in the future. Is this
normal?

Any advice?

The Samsung camcorder should be connected via a firewire (aka iLinki or
IEEE1394) cable to to a firewire port on the PC.

The digital camera should be connected to a USB port.

If you are connecting the camcorder to a USB port, that is for transferring
digital still images you have taken with the camcorder, sometimes called
photo stills.

If you have no firewire ports on your PC, you can purchase a PCI firewire
card.
