Help...
XP, FIREWIRE, STUDIO 9 Pinnacle (although the issue is not that software
releated I think)..
System recognizes firewire and the camera once on - sends commands to the
camera and the minute video appears on screen - the system freez and I have
to reboot...

What can I do ?
Thanks for the advice !

Besides the obvious like checking latest drivers for your video card,
compatibility between hardware etc, see this

actually... it just made it worse :-(
I updated the drivers for both the video card (NVIDIA GeForce 6200) and the
IEEE 1394 and now the minute I turn on the video camera the PC shuts down and
reboots....

Help....
