MM rarely if ever works with USB. Panasonic also use a new video/usb driver
to allow you to capture dv.avi files rather than just mpeg ones.
It's possible you have changed something on the pc which has meant MM no
longer sees the usb port, which could be anything from unistalling or
installing something or a windows update etc
