You could try re-installing the firewire card and its drivers.

Hi,

Which OS are you using 5XP, Me, 2000) If you're using XP SP2, your
problem could be the service pack 2 that is causing troubles to the
IEEE1394 interface. I've the same problem and I still didnt fix it.

Good luck...

OK, I did a system recovery and that thing still won't work. Any ideas?????
Now my audio hardward and modem are not being found, and Word was
uninstalled, but the Showbiz editing program came back to life. However it
doesn't matter because my firewire connection is still not working. It
definitely knows the camera is there and even knows exactly which model I
have connected.

Please help?
