Have XP PRO, pannsonic dv cam, connect with a generic TI fireware
card. Has worked fine for 2 years now. Upgraded to SP2 and now cam
dosent show up!

I was able to remove sp2 and it shows up and works. but i really like
the fixes in sp2 (other than my dv cam dont work)


Any one have any ideas?

I am new to this program and cannot get it to recognize the dv cam. I have
SP2 but never tried it before upgrading. How did you return to pre-SP2 in
order to get your camera to be recoginzed?
 
there is only one way to return to pre SP2, that is reinstall and don't
install service pack 2 its a one way street

Same problem here. Have a Panasonic DV50 camera and it only shows up as a
"web cam". This is a very serious problem for me.
 
Its not a one way street if you had made a restore point before installing
SP2. By default it makes a restore point automatically. So before
re-installing xp, try the option of using System Restore to go back to life
before SP2 .

Just incase anyone is reading this , i have it working now. Had to
work the SP1 Firewire drivers in.


Go to C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386 in the sp1 cab copy out the
following files

1394bus.sys
arp1394.sys
nic1394.sys
ohci1394.sys

replace the new versions of them in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache
and C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

reboot

this should fix it.
