If you go to System in the Control Panel then go to Hard Ware Device Manager you should be able to find the ADS device listed. If you uninstall it and then reboot usually they do a reinstall process which often fixes the problem. These devices and scanners have been the most problematic for me and often have been known to go wonky even when working properly before. The world of digital video editing is not free from bugs despite what the marketing would suggest. A bit of patience and entry level computer trouble shooting is still required IMHO. I would also say best to contact the ADS tech service by phone as they could walk you through some trouble shooting which would be better than anything I could do by email, Michael Snell

The ADSTech device has the RCA/S Video inputs and the firewire on the other side. Currently, we have the RCA Video and one audio input connected to the camera. The firewire is connected to the computer. So, I guess this would be the something needed between our camera and computer. I did check the project settings and it has been on DV capture. And yes, we have Premier elements 2.0 for capture. Thanks again, David. I hope you can understand my non-technical descriptions....
