Canon HG10 usb settings

I have a Canon Vixia HG10 that was just repaired recently, but now when I try connecting it to my computer, the computer does not recognize it. I tried troubleshooting this myself for 2 hours with no resolve. One of the things I did see while trying to research for a solution was changing the USB settings on this, but don't see that anywhere on the camcorder, anyone have any good suggestions for this?

Hi BJudd85!

To ensure the most accurate information is provided, we will need to know the version of Windows or Mac in use.

Thanks and have a great day!

I'm running a Windows 7 x64 computer. I've tried everything literally, changed usb cords was one of the things that I did do. Use to recognize it before it stopped work and had it sent away to be repaired, which had a bad main circuit board. It works now but I can't get the computer to see it when I connect it. My fiance has the same kind and it pulls it right up when I connect it to my computer, so it has something to do with the settings for my camcorder. Any suggestions you have for this?
