XP SP2 does not recognise my camcorder via firewire
hello
I wonder if you can help me.. I used to be able to capture Mini DV footage through firewire under XP SP1 but since I "upgraded" to SP2, my PC (Win XP Pro) can no longer recognise my Panasonic NVGS11 camcorder via firewire. In fact, I have two PCs at home with SP2 and they both fail to detect my camcorder. With SP1 - yep you've guessed right - no problems, all functions worked perfectly.. I've tried all possible solutions; I changed firewire slots, I uninstalled and re-installed firewire drivers, I used different firewire cables, I even tried to remove the current SP2 firewire drivers and manually install the old SP1 ones - none of this worked ! I'm convinced this is a driver problem specifically related to SP2 and old camcorders. What's annoying is that although this is a common SP2 problem (I've had a quick look on the net and realised that I'm not the only one struggling), I have yet to see Microsoft provide any patches. My question is: Does anyone know of any fixes (other than uninstalling SP2) ? has anyone else had this problem and managed to get an 'unreleased' hotfix from Microsoft ? If so, has it worked ? Before I go through the hassle of contacting Microsoft and obtain this potential 'hotfix', I'd like to know if it's worth the hassle. Any help, greatly appreciated |

Why are you even thinking of contacting MS?
Did they make your camcorder? Go to the manufacturer for support. "southpaw" wrote: hello I wonder if you can help me..

Thanks for this but the patch you mention deals with the issue of slow transfer speed not connectivity..

Manny
why did you even think of posting a reply when you knew it was going to be so unhelpful (and rude)..? Anyway, I DID contact Panasonic and they said they do not provide firewire drivers or patches. Microsoft does. That's why I bothered to post in this forum.. Forums are for discussing problems, aren't they ? "Manny Borges" wrote: Why are you even thinking of contacting MS?

From his spyware and virus infected Windoze box, Manny Borges had this to
say: Why are you even thinking of contacting MS? Because the moronic SP2 upgrade broke his ability to use his camcorder with Windoze. This is a valid venue to ask such a question. Now all you MVPs, help the guy! Did they make your camcorder? MickeyMouse doesn't make squat other than some junk hardware that they procur from who knows where and their Xbox, which makes a rather nice and cheap platform to run Linux on. http://www.xbox-linux.org/ Go to the manufacturer for support.

I had to add a firewire card because my mobo did not have a 1394
connection.XP Home did not recognize my card,I tried to do a repair Windows,but that made things worse(BSOD). So, I removed my card from my mobo,formatted my hd and reinstalled XP,downloaded all of the updates. Then I turned my pc off,reinstalled my firewire card,rebooted and it worked fine. I am able to captue,edit and burn the files to DVD now.I hope this may be helpful, if it is not,I apologize. "southpaw" wrote: hello I wonder if you can help me..

CentralCal, Thanks for the post back. Now others will know that if you want to add a Firewire device to XP SP2, all you have to do is format & re-install the operating system. The new ad blitz should be changed from "Start Something," to "Better Fix Something First!" Glad your upnrunning.
