I'm about to shoot this $#%#^! thing!. I have been fight Windows XP since 6am. I bought a Panasonic GV19 camcorder. I have a SB Audigy sound card that has a firewire port. I know it worked because I used it with a firewire drive. So here is the problem.
I hooked up my camcorder and nothing, zip, zilch and bupkis. Nothing in the listed drives, no tone, no balloon, nothing. I check the device driver, it says the card is okay, functioning normally. I bought a new Belkin cable. $27 Nothing. I hooked up the firewire drive with the original cable. I can see the light on the FW Hard drive but XP don't see blip. I know this drive works. However, I haven't used it since I upgraded to XP2. I open up the computer make sure that the card is secure. It is. I go to Panasonic, they say I don't need a driver, XP should see it as soon as I plug it in. I go to M$ - Windows XP2 has issues with firewire cards. "Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP2" Nobody fucking told me (or anybody else about it) I download the patch. Shut the computer on and off. Nothing. I swing over to Google Groups and find the MVP guru who does have helpful info on his site http://www.myvideoproblems.com I try everything that I can. Still no go. I don't have the cash to spring for a new 1394 card until the end of next week. Is there anything else I can do to fix this M$ caused defect. Because if I buy the card and it still doesn't work I will be quarter past enraged. Is there a specific card I should get/not get? P.S. If I could I would swing over to Mac in a heartbeat but I don't have that kind of money. I have to deal with what I have.
