Trying to load DV into Microsoft XP through a DV deck or camera using the firewire is failing. The camera or deck is not seen by the computer. It's like it needs a driver, but XP has drivers for this doesn't it? I'm at a loss. I see this problem occurring with others but I don't see any solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is the digital camcorder turned on and in VCR mode? No version of Windows
can see a device that isn't turned on.

Give me a little more credit than that. I read a few of your other responses and they similarly lame. Skip the "is it on" response. I'm having a hardward problem that goes a little beyond "is it turned on". I should probably say thanks for the effort but I'm not.

And what does the Device Manager say about the IEEE1394 Bus Controller?

Do you have it disabled under the 1394 Net Adapter entry?

Is this is KNOWN GOOD 1394 cable? A KNOWN GOOD PCI card? Does the digital
camcorder work correctly on OTHER PCs? Do other firewire devices work
correctly with the PCI card?

Is the firewire port on the motherboard? If so does it have the correct
motherboard drivers installed? Is it perhaps connected to a soundcard like
the Soundblaster Audigy? Part of an ATI graphics card?

If you provide more information, I can assist further. No info from you
and I'm very limited as to what I can suggest. Help me to help you!

(and you might be surprised how many cables are bad)

l'm having the same problem. It is either one of two things. 1. I deleted a "hot fix" patch and 2. I installed a video capture device. That's all I know because it worked previously.
