Hi All
I know this isn't a new problem, but I just can't find an answer for
it.
I have a fairly new Dell PC with 2 x IEEE 1394 ports, and a Canon
MV450i camcorder. I've just bought a good quality Belkin cable to
connect the two things but whatever I do, the PC just doesn't want to
recognize the camera. No error messages, just nothing.
In Device Manager I can clearly see the 1394 listed under Network
Adapters. No hint of a fault. The drivers seem to be up to date.
I've rebooted, unplugged and replugged, tried using WMM and Power
Director software but they don't see the camera either.
I'm aware that there was an issue for people who went to XP SP2, but
it's unclear whether this is the problem here. The PC came with SP2
installed. I've tried downloading and running the original Windows fix
(something like KB 8885522) but am getting an error when I try to
install. I'm tempted to think this isn't the issue here in any case.
Does anyone have any ideas that might help me? I've just about run out
of inspiration, and am feeling very frustrated by my inability to see
the camcorder.
Thanks in advance
