Why do you need a driver - what are you trying to do - if you have Windows XP it includes all the drivers you need - just plug in the firewire connection.

If you really need drivers then have you tried the Panasonic website - first place I would try.

to save you the trouble here is a link to the drivers section of the Panasonic web site :-

If you want the best possible PQ from the camcorder then the only way to connect it to the PC is via firewire, and this as stated does not require any drivers as long as you are useing Windows 98se or later. If you want to connect via USB then you will need drivers, but you will never get full quality video onto the PC this way.
If your PC does not have a firewire port then you can add it via a PCI card that plugs into the Motherboard and should only cost you around £10 including a firewire cable. If you already have firewire onboard then you just need a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable (assuming you have a desktop rather than laptop PC).

Do you have your camcorder connected by firewire ? - is it switched on and in VCR mode (not camera) ? do you get the Windows "New Hardware Found" window or does it not get that far even ? - have you checked in 'Device Manager' to make sure your firewire card does not have a problem ?
