Suddenly, Vegas won't capture, playback ok

Hi All,
I've been using Vegas for years with very few probs.
I'm still using 4.0e for regular DV stuff. Went from W2k to XP SP2 a couple of months ago.

I can edit and render just fine with my regular plug ins (Plug in Pac 3dLE, Boris Red, etc.).

Playback from the timeline over firewire through my Sony DSR-30 deck to my video monitor is fine (external preview).

BUT: I can't capture in the Sony capture app (vidcap).
The popup says: "Can't communicate with device" turn off device and restart, etc. Endless loop of same popup each time I do.
However, at the bottom of the capture window, it shows the device connected. Also: If I go to the device property drop down menu, I can operate the device from the on screen buttons there.
It just won't capture.

I re-installed Vegas and Direct x 9.0c...no joy. Swapped firewire cables...same thing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Ken
