    Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows 7) will not (Capture or Record) connect with DV Cass Recorder

      For 12 yrs I've Never had a problem w Adobe Prem Pro seeing my Panasonic  AG-DV2000, DV cassette Recorder. Premiere Pro CS4 (with Windows 7 Ultimate) will not connect (Capture or Record)with my DV Cassette Recorder - Panasonic  AG-DV2000. I upgraded my computer to below components & added Windows 7 at same time.  Have had Adobe Prem Pro CS4 since fall with no problems.  I usually have 2 - 5 videos, with 2 - 4 audios, going at same time on my timeline. (These digital videos & audios I shot myself professionally with mini DV cassettes.) Most projects are between 10 to 50 mins on timeline, w transitions or crossfades between video & audios. Firewire attached from computer to Panasonic. No Capture card in new system, not needed, use to watch over an external TV, now watch over a second monitor or in program  monitor.    [Am I just missing a simple setting??]           Computer below & settings:   very up to date.

      Project Settings   Video --  Timecode             Audio -- Audio Samples

      Capture Format  (tried both)  DV & HDV   (all settings checked for during preview & capture)

                      Under DV               says Panasonic is Online, export to tape/it renders/Premiere controls the Panasonic recorder -looks like it's recording, but see no video -                                                 hear the sound. On Playback nothing was recorded? ( And Can't capture from tape to computer)

                      Under HDV            Says Panasonic is Offline, but computer able to control the Panasonic start/stop, but doesn't record or capture tape to computer? 

      [ I think this DV/HDV part is correct......  it's getting very confusing at this point??!! Your help is appreciated Thank YOU ]
