Hi all:

I'm having trouble installing drivers for a firewire controller card in
my new machine.

The card is recycled from my previous machine. In that machine, it
showed up as the "VIA OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 controller" from
Microsoft - I believe the driver file is 1394bus.sys. Everything I've
read so far suggests it should be part of the XP OS itself. In fact
there is even a file called 1394bus.sy_ on the XP CD. However, I can't
seem to coax XP into installing the appropriate driver.

Any ideas?

What the **** does "I can't seem to coax XP into installing the appropriate
driver" mean, you ****ing useless tit?

Regardless of your language skills, you do have a point.

What I mean is, when I go through the "Add New Hardware Wizard", I am
unable to locate "VIA OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 controller" under any of
the device types. When I choose to show all device types, I still don't
find it under any manufacturer.
