Problem solved! In short, it was a service called app_filter. Disabling that service fixed the problem.
Here's what I did: I went back to the advice Carmen gave a year ago about making sure certain services were running. http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-11/032424.html Although those particular services were running I had not tried disabling all the others. There are so many services I was fearful of screwing up my machine. I guess I was now frustrated enough to try anything. I ran services.msc and disabled everything else and pix_video worked! Then I re-enabled each service until I found the culprit ... a tedious process.
I have no idea what app_filter is but I hope this might help someone else if they encounter the same problem.

I have an Intel CoreDuo laptop running that exact OS with no problems. I didn't install anything other than Pd and it has captured hundreds of clips from a DV cam so far. Unfortunately, I don't know what to suggest as a solution to this problem.

That's a relief because I had no idea what was wrong with the code!
Your method for figuring out the solution should probably go somewhere on the puredata site.
