XP drivers

[Guest]

i have just purchased a firewire PCI card, the makers tell me that windows xp should have the required drivers already, when i try and install the new hardware it is unable to find the drivers. (No drivers came with the card) is there anywhere that i can get the drivers from?

Which specific Vendor & Model # is it ? Have you done a
"Google" for the card. Many times issues with specific cards
are documented and fixes/processes are posted in Forums
like this one, usually on the Vendor's web support site.

yeah i have been contacting the manufacturer on their website but they dont think they have drivers available as windows XP normally does an auto install. Not sure what to do next, does anyone know of a site where all of the Drivers that come with Windows XP are available?

im having this same problem, its weird as windows has always installed the
drivers for my card previous times before, but not this time. like urs mine
says 'No drivers required' as windows should have them.

My Card is a
LaCie FireWire PCI Card with the Via VT6306 chip, ive look on the lacie
site, and the via and found nothing, same with windows update

any ideas??? thanks ahead!

:

Contact the technical support line for your PCI card's vendor, and get
them to help you solve your problem (you may be able to find drivers, or
a fix for your problem, at the vendor's web site).

Comment: I installed the Firewire (IEE1394) controller from Adaptec and had
no problem.

If you install an "off brand" (didn't pay MS to put their PNP info in the
INF file) or the card's PNP is not up to standard, you may have trouble.
