Its necessary to ask the obvious questions if you don't take the time to
indicate in your first post what steps you have taken so far.
For example, additional questions that come to mind.
1. Have to tried having the camera on when you start the pc.
2. Its not mentioned if you have the camer on when you fire up your capture
program or whether you start the program then fire up the camera. Some are
picky.
3. How are you sure the FW on the computer is working? Have you verified
other devices?
4. You have FW card and FW on board. If one goes bad, perhaps it affects the
other. Pull board, try again
This is the kind of problem that happens to many of us and I can assure you
there is no. "Oh, yeah, do XXX and everything will be fine" It is an
annoying process of elimiation.
(What is it with people today? They can follow a process, but they can't
solve a problem.)
