I tried to get my panasonic dv connected to my pc with no
success I un-installed my 1394 drivers thinking that they
would re-install at boot, unfortunately this did not
happen as the system cannot find the drivers. I have
searched the net to no avail, Does anyone know where I
can get these drivers OHCI compliant host controller
version 5.1.2535.0 I am running xp home with a p4 2.8gh

There should be 5 different drivers that it needs....

1394bus.sys
arp1394.sys
enum1394.sys
nic1304.sys
ohci1394.sys

They should be found in the following folders:

c:\windows\service pack files\i386\sp1.cab
c:\windows\system32\drivers
c:\windows\driver cache\i386\driver.cab
c:\windows\service pack file\i386

See if pointing it any of those folders forces it to 'do the right thing'
and install them for you!

Cari,

I see that the set of drivers on my desktop is older than those on my new
Toshiba laptop . The desktop runs XP Home (upgraded from Windows Me) and
the laptop runs the new Media Edition installed at the factory.

Is an update of the desktop appropriate? I just did a Windows update check
on the desktop and it didn't include newer drivers in the available updates
for my system.

I'm drafting words for the Setup... Hardware page about the drive pack, and
checking the two systems I have with firewire connections. A post the other
day said to check for updates - but I'm not seeing that on the desktop (or
the older drivers on it are appropriate ). 4 of the 5 on the desktop are
version 5.1.2600.1106 of Aug 29, 2002 from SP1. The 4 on the laptop are
5.1.2600.1150 of Dec 12, 2002. enum1394.sys files seem to align

Thanks for any pointers,

PapaJohn

I have searched my system and I do not seem to have these
drivers anywhere, my pc came with xp preloaded and I used
the update site to load sp1. The sp1 driver cab file does
not exist on my pc. do you know if this file is on the
sp1 cd if so I will order this cd from microsoft. Thank
you very much for your assistance with this problem.
