Presumably, as it's new, you have read the manual?
Does it come with a driver disk?
Often these devices need no drivers and connecting the USB cable simply gives you access to flash memory in the camera. With the camera connected (and in the correct mode, if necessary), does it appear as a new drive in My Computer.
It would also be useful to know a little more about the PC and Operating System you are connecting it to.

Does it detect when you plug the camera in? It will have come with some drviers that at least allow comms between the pc and camera, as mentioned it may show as another drive.
If you want to do other than transfer stills, then 3rd party software is needed (didnt you get some free trial or other with the camera?)

What says 'can't detect camera'?
Does the camera have a mode switch? Is it set to the correct position for transferring pictures to your PC?

I've just noticed that you said you are using Windows 2000. Is service pack 4 installed?
Are you using any other USB devices?
Right click on My Computer and select properties. It should say which service pack you are up to in the info box.

I think it's important that you say what Operating System you are using. Do you have Windows 2000 or is that the minimum that the cam needs? I've transferred from a Digital cam to PC using a Firewire with Pinnacle 8 and Windows XP without any problems and I'm no expert. USB1.1 would take an age to complete the task.
service pack 4 installed usb 2.0. i am using 1.1 could this be where the problem is and also it states in the booklet ( pictbridge-compliant vdr-d150only) what does this mean as i said before panasonic were unhelpful and there was no discs in with the camera and its their newest camera . windows 2000 is the min the cam needs which is what i haveVeRetired said:

Pictbridge allows you to connect the cam directly to a printer without the PC.
So are you using SP4?
Have you tried a different USB port?
Have you any other USB devices?
Where did you buy it? Perhaps they could test it for you
Another thing to try. Connect the camera to the PC and the open device manager. Is the camera listed? Does it have a question mark or exclaimation mark next to it? If so, highlight the device and click remove. Unplug the camera and reboot the PC. Wait until PC has started and then plug in USB cable.
According to Panasonic, this device will be listed as a drive in My Computer and requires no other software to transfer the stills.
