error capturing

Which firewire driver is coming up? (right click "My Computer"-Manage-Device Manager, then find your card and dbl-click to bring up properties then "Driver" tab)

Also, can you capture on your system using Windows Movie Maker?

I've had a few problems (dropped frames, not the "unable to connect" on machines with multiple firewire cards, but haven't seen the unable to connect. My suspicion is either:

1. Driver issue : try another driver
2. Premiere Prefences File Corrupt : recreate (start Premiere while holding down CTRL-SHIFT, release when splash screen appears.

If you can capture w. WMM, then look at the Preferences file and possibly project settings, if not, look at the driver.

NB: I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro, not 6.5
