hello
I wonder if you can help me.. I used to be able to capture Mini DV footage
through firewire under XP SP1 but since I "upgraded" to SP2, my PC (Win XP
Pro) can no longer recognise my Panasonic NVGS11 camcorder via firewire. In
fact, I have two PCs at home with SP2 and they both fail to detect my
camcorder. With SP1 - yep you've guessed right - no problems, all functions
worked perfectly..
I've tried all possible solutions; I changed firewire slots, I uninstalled
and re-installed firewire drivers, I used different firewire cables, I even
tried to remove the current SP2 firewire drivers and manually install the old
SP1 ones - none of this worked ! I'm convinced this is a driver problem
specifically related to SP2 and old camcorders. What's annoying is that
although this is a common SP2 problem (I've had a quick look on the net and
realised that I'm not the only one struggling), I have yet to see Microsoft
provide any patches. My question is: Does anyone know of any fixes (other
than uninstalling SP2) ? has anyone else had this problem and managed to get
an 'unreleased' hotfix from Microsoft ? If so, has it worked ? Before I go
through the hassle of contacting Microsoft and obtain this potential
'hotfix', I'd like to know if it's worth the hassle.
Any help, greatly appreciated
