When you plug in your camera, the pc should just see it as a storage device and should be accessible in windows explorer. You won't see the name of the camera necessarily as the device should conform to the USB comms convention.

If you install the JVC software from the dvd, then this software should give additional features but is not essential for uploading only.

Thanks for help.
all sorted now, I was confused as device manager was giving Agfa cameras in list not JVC.
