Problem solved! In short, it was a service called app_filter. Disabling that service fixed the problem.

Here's what I did:
I went back to the advice Carmen gave a year ago about making sure certain services were running.

Although those particular services were running I had not tried disabling all the others. There are so many services I was fearful of screwing up my machine. I guess I was now frustrated enough to try anything. I ran services.msc and disabled everything else and pix_video worked! Then I re-enabled each service until I found the culprit ... a tedious process.

I have no idea what app_filter is but I hope this might help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

I have an Intel CoreDuo laptop running that exact OS with no problems. I didn't install anything other than Pd and it has captured hundreds of clips from a DV cam so far. Unfortunately, I don't know what to suggest as a solution to this problem.
