Canon Vixia HV40 HD camcorder not recognized on IEEE1394

Windows 7 does not recognize HD camcorder on IEEE1394 (Camcorder = Canon Vixia HV40. It is Windows 7 compatible)

Camcorder = Canon Vixia HV40. It is Windows 7 compatible as per Canon website -http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=17996
