1394 Firewire card
The Product is MERCURY PCI 1394 Firewire Card
by Manhattan/part# 1685880. The problem is when I turn on my video camera it is searching for new software. It does not recognize the new card that was installed. I installed the software for the camera and the 1394 firewire card. The box indicates the card is for 98/2000 but when I contacted Mercury and they told me that XP should be recognizing the new hardware. What to do? |

1394 Firewire card
Now, I'm not sure we have a single problem here or two....
When you turned on the PC after installing the IEEE1394 card, XP should have installed the correct drivers for the CARD. You can verify this by looking in Device Manager - you should see the line IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers with NO YELLOW exclamation points by it. This will confirm the IEEE 1394 card is installed correctly. Once it's installed correctly, then you connect the digital camcorder to the PC, ensuring that the camcorder is powered by A/C and NOT by its internal battery AND turn the camcorder on in VCR mode. Then you should here the familiar USB 'ding' and XP should find and install drivers for the camcorder. So, I have no real idea of exactly where in the setup you are having the problem...... -- Cari ((MS-MVP Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com "Mark" wrote in message ...

1394 Firewire card
There is no YELLOW exclamation point by tge IEEE 1394 but
there is a YELLOW exclamation point by 1394 Netware adopter? Does that have anything to do with it? I have no idea what to try next? When you say it should be powered on by the AC - do you mean just the wall outlet to the camera, like it is being charged? Thanks -----Original Message----- Now, I'm not sure we have a single problem here or two....

1394 Firewire card
you are not networking via firewire so on that entry you can right click and
select disable. Yes, it should be connected to the wall outlet. -- Cari (MS-MVP Windows Client - Printing, Imaging & Hardware) www.coribright.com wrote in message ...
