How do I get rid of this error:

The video device cannot be used at this time because there has been an error
when starting the device.

It worked at least part way through the capture wizard the first time but
now it pops up this error immediately every time.

What has not worked is closing and restarting WMM, rebooting, turning off
the power to the Sony DCR-VX2100 NTSC for a dozen seconds, switching to a
different camera (Sony DCR-PC120 BT).

It seems obvious to me that there is some state information on the disc that
is causing WMM to fail.

Next steps: trying a different cable and then uninstalling/reinstalling WMM.

I'm hoping that someone out there has a less drastic solution than my final
step.

Thanks,

I'd go for the testing method first. Here's some other items to try as well.
