Problem with Firewire

[ronnefalk]

I have an Panasonic EX-3 camera with Firewire connection. When i connect it to my machine (XP Home edition) i only hear a beep when the HW is found but i can´t se it at "my computer". I have tried it on another machine also with XP Home. When i had Windows 98ME on the second machine it was working just fine.

The only thing i see in MovieMaker och other program is my card to intervideo Home Theater and no FireWire device.

Any suggestions ?

You may want to make sure the camera has DV Out selected. Some cameras do it as a default, but others have to be coaxed.

Yes, its always DV-out because this camera doesn´t handle DV-in.

Now it´s working !!!!!

I installed the following fix - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=810032
And that was the solution.

I signed up for the Microsquash bug / fix email update and my mail server blew up after processing 3,000 emails the first day Don't sign up for this update email.

That fix wasn't on my computer anywhere and I update every time the little icon pops up. I guess they want you to search for that one. Hell I haven't even hooked up my DV camera to my computer yet(my father in law has it)...imagine if I hadn't seen this thread...I would have been BITCHING up a storm.
Sometimes I really question what goes on in the mind of Microsoft. I love XP but damn they piss me off sometimes.
