MEP 17+ has stopped recording from mini-DV camera

The last time I used the mini-DV was in May, and MEP's recording function worked with it fine.   The only change I made is to remove MEP16+. 

When I first attach the camera and the Firewire, MEP doesn't appear on the Windows "what do you want to use" list anymore, even if MEP 17+ is open.  When I open the Record window, MEP recognizes that a mini-DV camcorder is attached.  Everything is checked as before.  But when I open Device Options (on the record window), everything is grayed out. 

And when I hit the Red record button, nothing happens.  If I start the camera manually and then hit Record, the camera stops playing! 

I used Nero Vision, one of the selections on Windows "What do you want to use" list.  I was able to capture/record the video with that, although the audio was corrupted.

I rebooted the computer, and got the same results. 

Any input is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Kami

Try reinstalling MEP17 and make it do a repair.
