HELP..New to whole program!-VideoStudio 9.0.
I first installed the software that was included with the Digital Camcorder I purchased, (ULead 7.0 and a CD with Direct X and 2 Samsung Video Driver's). After installation, I tried to capture my video, but as soon as I plugged my camcorder in, Sonic MY DVD came up and tried to load. Sonic was installed when my PC was purchased. I figured that there was a conflict so I tried to delete Sonic. Now...Sonic is partially deleted, I can't find where the rest is hiding. When I try to capture with ULead, I get an error stating that there is no device connected. But there really is! PLEASE HELP...

Firstly do you have Video Studio 7 or 9 (the heading and your text conflict)
Next. How are you connecting the camcorder to the computer.
Do NOT use the supplied USB cable as that is only of use for previewing video or transfering still pictures. Instead use an IEEE1394 cable also called firewire or i-Link. If you don't have one they are fairly cheap and are bought as a kit comprising of the cable and a card that plugs into the computer motherboard.
If you have a boxed version of VideoStudio then run the setup program again and you will get a repair option, this should fix any problems which may have been caused when you tried to uninstall Sonic.
Having done the repair option, keep the camcorder turned OFF and start videoStudio. Go to the Capture tab. Ignore any messages about not finding any devices. Now turn the camcorder ON in playback mode.
a mesage should appear indicating that a new device has been detected and asking if you wish to use that device. Obviously you answer Yes.
If all has now gone according to plan you can control the camcorder from the computer with rewind, fast forward play etc.

I originally installed VS 7 then had problems and figured that it was the CD I had then uninstalled and downloaded VS 9. Yes...I have been using a USB cable to capture video. I have been working on this for a week, actually pulling my hair out!!! The salesman where I purchased the Camcorder insisted that the USB was all I needed. I didn't delete Sonic, it just happened. It wouldn't open all of a sudden after installing the VideoStudio 7. So I tried to uninstall it thru the Add and Remove Programs, but it wasn't there. I ran a search and deleted any folders that I found (inc. hidden). But when I try to capture, (even though I am using the wrong equip.) Sonic still tries to load. I am running Windows XP, and I also have NERO installed, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with that. Will I still have this problem when I use the IEEE 1394? Your help is greatly appreciated.

You shouldnt have a problem if you get an IEEE1394.
Here in the UK at PC World they sell a box called a Video Editing kit for about £15 (British pounds) which contains the card that slips into a motherboard slot plus the cable. There is also a CD but you don't need it - dont bother to install it.
Don't be tempted to splash out the extra on a seperate IEEE1394 (firewire) card and cable as they cost considerably more to purchase seperately and don't make any difference, the cheap one will be sufficient.
