IEEE 1394 controller card and WXP

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

After inserting the card I got the usual "new hardware installed" in the lower right corner. When trying to install the card, I got the message that "Cannot recognize the ........." and I get the message that my DV camera is not recognized. The same message came up after installing a program from Fuji Finepix. Anyone having the answer?=)

Well, there was no CD with the FW card, so I do not know where to find the driver, When it comes to the programs, I have installed the drivers from the CD that follows the programs. No help, my PC have stopped to recognise the drivers! I am *!?<*!!! You see?

Do you actually get the message "installed", or "new hardware recognized"
and then a message saying the new hardware could not be installed after xp
attempts the automatic installation of the firewire card?

If XP recognized the new hardware, but cannot complete the installation
process (usually with "data invalid" included in the failed install
message), try this:
The usual cause of this problem in Windows 2000/XP systems is Registry keys
that are set as read-only.

From the Start menu, click Run and enter RegEdit to run the Registry Editor.
Open the following - Keys => HKey_Local_machine => System =>
CurrentControlSet => Enum => PCI.

You will see several keys in this form - Ven_xxxx - where xxxx represents a
string such as - 1102&Dev_004&Subsys_00011103&Rev_04.

In each of these folders there is another folder that has a long numerical
name. Open each of these folders, and look for the DeviceDesc entry that
matches the type of hardware that you are trying unsuccessfully to install.
Use the right mouse button to click on the Ven_xxxx entry for that device,
and click Permissions. If it is set to read-only, then that is the cause of
the problem. To rectify it, change it to Allow Full Control.
