camcorder on port IEEE1394 not recognized by win XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Hello,

since I reinstall XP + SP2, I can't download my own movies from my SONY
camcorder trought the firewire port.
throught the USB port, I can without probleme download my pictures from my
camcorder.

I try with severals software and I get already the same results.

Somes details:

Wenn I turn on my camcorder, during 3 seconds the camcorder is recognized by
Windows (opening a little window to ask me what to do) and then the windows
desappeared and I can't use the camcorder.
As well as Windows, my video software ask me that there is a new video
sources and ask if I want to use it. I've not enough time to answer (by
click on yes or no) and the camcorder is not available.

I don't no what is the conflict with Win xp but I think that it is a problem
with windows

I already delete and reinstall the drivers for the IEEE1394 port in the
peripherical menu. Each time I turn on my camcorder, it appears 2 second in
this menu and then desappear.

Did someone has an idee what to do in this case ?

Regards,
Tommy.

PS: sorry for my bad english :-)

Hi,
Sorry for butting in, but i have the same problem, my sony DV not being
recognized by the computer. I have firewire functioning on Xp with sp2.
Treeman i have followed your idea before on other threads about reverting
back to Sp 1 firewire drivers, but have not been able to manage it properly.
A couple of questions to clear it up!
1. renaming SP 2.cab file to SP 2 cabe old file In my directory
WINDOWS\DRIVER CACHE\1386 The file is a zip file. Is this the correct file?
2. When copying out the driver files, I can find C:\WINDOWS\Driver
Cache\i386 but can't locate C:\dllcache in SP1
3. How do you know that these driver files in C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386
are SP 1 files and not Sp 2 files
4. When you say replace SP2 version of the files with SP1 versions, do you
mean delete them, or merely put the new folder with copied files.
5. If I can't find this folder (:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache ) in system 32
am I looking in the wrong place?
Reading this back, I sound like a twit! Hope it makes some sense. Thanks
