camcorder on IEEE1394 port not recognize by win XP

[Tommy]

Hello,

since I reinstall XP + SP2, I can't download my own movies from my SONY
camcorder trought the firewire port.
throught the USB port, I can without probleme download my pictures from my
camcorder.

I try with severals software and I get already the same results.

Somes details:

Wenn I turn on my camcorder, during 3 seconds the camcorder is recognized by
Windows (opening a little window to ask me what to do) and then the windows
desappeared and I can't use the camcorder.
As well as Windows, my video software ask me that there is a new video
sources and ask if I want to use it. I've not enough time to answer (by
click on yes or no) and the camcorder is not available.

I don't no what is the conflict with Win xp but I think that it is a problem
with windows

I already delete and reinstall the drivers for the IEEE1394 port in the
peripherical menu. Each time I turn on my camcorder, it appears 2 second in
this menu and then desappear.

Did someone has an idee what to do in this case ?

Regards,
Tommy.

PS: sorry for my bad english

You'll need to open xps firewall,exceptions,add the port.

Andrew, that is insane. The firewall has nothing to do with whether
hardware is recognized locally.
Tommy - check with the camera mftr.'s tech support for the issue with
their camera and SP2.

Ensure the camcorder is connected to an external power source... and check
the firewire cable. If possible, borrow a known working cable from a friend
to try to diagnose the problem further.
