Finally, I thought about the differences between the laptops and my home PCs

So, I hunted down a $5 Fireire PCI card that has both a 6-pin and an 4-pin
connected. *Lo and behold, my camera works when connected to the 4-pin.

I thought that a 6-pin to 4-pin connection was identical except the the
6-pin carries power. *Therefore the signal integrity should have been there
for the 4-pin connection.Anyway, this is not a MS issue, but has been
dicussed in this newgroup many times. *I hope my experience helps someone
else.

Les, that explanation makes sense to me. *I will try and find a similar pci
card.

I have also read that the Sony camcorder won't work with a firewire port
that is bridged. *I am not sure if that is the correct term, but I think it
is meant to refer to a firewire port on the front of the computer that has
the long wires running inside to the pci card that is actually in the back of
the computer. *That is how mine is currently set up. *So, I will try your way
in a while, once I can locate that kind of pci card.

For clarification, is the small port on the camera 4 pin? *So, the new pci
port will match the camera port? * Thank you for posting.

I have the same problem as everyone else in this thread; the firewire
port is existing and working ok in the Device Manager, but it will not
recognise my DVcam (nothing happens, no ding-dong, when I connect the
cam). Everything has been working for me for several years, a JVC
DVcam connected to the Firewire port on a Creative Audigy EX-unit, but
a month ago I did change the mainboard and processor in my computer
and reinstalled XP Pro on the harddisk (still using the same Audigy
and DVCam), and after that the DVCam is not recognised.

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!
