IEEE1394 Firewire Problem

G

Guest

Ever since upgrading to SP2 on my Sony laptop, whenever I connect my high-end
digital camera to an Adaptec FireConnect IEEE 1394 PC Card, the software for
the camera does not recogize that the camera is connected.

When I go into Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark next to
the driver. I then have to uninstall the driver, restart and reinstall the
driver with the camera connected. Everything works fine until I 1) disconnect
and reconnect the camera for whatever reason or 2) shut down and restart the
computer. Either way, even with the card and camera connected, I must again
go through uninstalling and reinstalling the driver steps and restarting -
everytime!

I noticed there was an IEEE1394 patch locatied at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...4c-aec8-434d-9849-e668a50e6e81&DisplayLang=en

It is supposed to correct some IEEE capture device issues. I downloaded and
installed it, but it didn't make a darn bit of difference. The funny thing is
that I use this same camera and software on a Dell tower and do not
experience this problem at all. Only on the Sony laptop.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Remove the camera software and any drivers associated with it. In
device manager, show hidden devices to help identifying
camera-associated devices. Remove the IEEE host controller. Reboot.
The IEEE host controller driver should be reinstalled properly - check
device manager. Consult the camera installation guide and install the
camera software/driver exactly as required.
