Default Digital Video Camera Not Detected

Hi all,

I am new to this forum, have a problem similar to most of you with detection
of Camera. Have recently bought a HP550 Laptop, running XP Professional with
all updates loaded and running.
My Firewire 1394a card is a plug in to the Laptop Express Card slot.
The card has 2 ports, both 6 pin Firewire female.
Have cable 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire.
When the card was first plugged in, system found it o.k. camera was
connected by (4 pin DV cable) and system worked perfectly with MS 'Movie
Maker' . I shut down and returned a few hours later, powered up Laptop but no
sign of Firewire card.
My camera is a JVC Digital model GR-DVX9E, and was/is running on
mains/adaptor.
Have spent 'days' of research trying to fix this 'non detection' problem,
has anyone found a solution please ?

Have you other guys found the solution to your problems? Did the 4-pin
to 4-pin cable work for you, karen100?

I already myself got it working: I completely unistalled the Audigy
(both software and hardware); restarted the computer without the
Audigy; reinstalled it and let Windows reinstall all the drivers; and
now I get the ding-ding when connecting the camera!

Don't know what was wrong, but now it works!

Hi Sten,

No, I never got my camcorder to be recognized. I wasn't able to install a
new pci card yet, so I just let it go. It was so much trouble to pursue, I
just continued with the slower USB connection. It is encouraging to hear
that your problem was solved. Thanks for posting, at least now I know a
solution IS possible. ... Karen
