Pre-SP2 Windows would decect my Canon DV Camcorder and install the
drivers as soon as it was connected. Post-SP2's installation it no
longer even detects the hardware, not even via the Add New Hardware
Wizard. I tried then Scanner and Camera Wizard, but it wasn't listed
there. Canon never supplied me with a driver CD as it was always as
simple as just plugging it in.

Any suggestions?
