Guys recently my pc/firewire card isnt recognizing my minidv. I am still using Win98 and using windv and it has been working perfect since I got it about 6 months ago. Now windv says Error: Device not found. I checked the firewire card and it has not came loose, but I did install a capture card in the other pci slot. Could that be the problem? Well it wasnt the problem. I removed the capture card and still didnt work. Heres what all I have tried.
1. Removed capture card, still will not work.
2. Switched PCI slots and still will not work.
3. The firewire card is showing up in the device manager.
4. In device manager I looked under imaging device and it showed camcorder but it had a X marked through it. I selected remove it and it removed it. Now how in the world do I get it back.

I am lost at whats going on because it had been working perfect. The other day when all of this started I got a msg when I booted up that said IRQ conflict in PCI slot 2, but that was like 3 days ago. Last nite it was working..well it would work for a few mins than stop working. I would either get a Error device not found or just a black screen on the windv. What can I try now?


Ok, now it is finally working...almost! Turn the camera on, and than turn windv on. Shows the video on windv, but when I click capture so I can capture the video to the HD....it doesnt capture! It shows the time going by on windv, but it isnt capturing to the HD. This has to be somekind of file problem When it did finally recognizing it, it asked if I wanted to keep certain files because the files it was trying to load were older than what I already had on pc.
