IEEE1394 Problem

[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?

Ralph,

After you install Windows XP Service Pack 2, some 1394 devices (such as
digital cameras that use S400 speed) may not perform as expected. Install
this update to help prevent this issue. After you install this update, you
will have to restart your computer.

See if there are newer drivers for the 1394 card available from
Adaptec. (I'm assuming you're referring to a 1394 Bus card for the
laptop.)

I'm using a digital back for a Hasselblad made by a
company called PhaseOne in Sweden. I did look on the Sony
web site awhile ago and found no 1394 updates, but I will
check again.

Thanks for that suggestion. It slipped my mind to check
that out.

Ralph,

Strangely enough, this patch solved my issue. I have had a recurring issue
with loading and removing a firewire compact flash card. When I put the card
in, and then eject it, I lose all my firewire drives. I start to throw
Delayed Write errors. This patch seemed to cure it.
