Yes, forgot that one, it may pay to have the cam connected again on reboot
to force it to see the cam instead of a network connection.

One more thing to try that doesn't require uninstalling anything......

Right click on My Network Places and select Properties. There should be
an
entry here for 1394 Connection. Right click on it and select Disable. Do
NOT select Uninstall. Since the 1394 card is still physically installed,
XP
will just re-find it and reinstall the connection next time you restart.
You can network via firewire (though few people seem to)...... but I have
seen instances where the PC prioritizes the network connection over the
camcorder device. Reboot after the disabling of the 1394 network
connection
and try once more to connect the camcorder.

Any better?

I have a major problem, bought a brand new computer intel pentium 4
(3.0prescott), ati radeon 9600xt vga card, 512mb ddr ram, seagate 120 g
sata
hdd, pioneer dvd -+rw, gigabyte p1pe1000pro2 motherboard with in built
fire
wire so I can do some video editing.

The system came with the OEM windows xp home, I instored a few driver
for
the printer and scanner and aslo a usb driver for the JVC gr-d73aa dv
camera.

After all this I connected the Dv camera and suprise windows doesnt
detect
anything at all. Think I got a bad computer system I took it back to my
seller who tested it and showed me that the firewire works well. He
networked it with other PCs with firewire and it worked fine, we tested
it
with my DV camera and it didnt detect at all.

So I took the computer home and tried another method I had a pyro
firewire
card and after instoring that it still didnt work, the computer wasnt
able
to detect the DV camera at all.

I checked for conflicts and found none, I re-instored the drivers
again, I
updated to the latest drivers, I updated all xp patches, I turned off
all
anti virus pulled out all the printer and scanner. None of this did
anything.

Oh the usb connection is fine I can use that, and also I have an old
computer which I put the Pyro card in it runs windows xp pro the first
version when it was first released

The camera works fine with usb but just not with firewire. I have an
older
computer running an earlier version of windows xp pro and after I
instored
the pyro firewire card in it I could detect the Dv camera.

This makes me think that it much be a problem with the latest patch
from
microsoft or I must be going crazy. I have contacted JVC and they have
also
tested the camera and said nothing is wrong with it I have contacted
mircosoft and they dont think its a problem with xp, i have contacted
gigabyte and they think it has nothing to do with them.

So you can see I am really at a lost to why my computer can not
detect
a
dv camera connected via firewire. Oh my DV camera is plugged on to a
power
supply and switched to view and this is done correctly.

Please can someone please help me, I dont know what else to do I want
to
use my Adobe Premiere Pro and the capture method is via firewire.

Please help
