Mary, It is likely you have a ground loop between the computer and the VCR. Radio Shack sells a ground loop isolator, number, two seven zero dash zero five four for around fifteen dollars. It is cylinder shaped, maybe four inches long and an inch and a half in diameter. It has a stereo cable coming out of each end with male RCA connectors. An adaptor with female RCA connectors on one end and a mini plug on the other end is included. I've had great success using these.
