FireWire

Hello,

I have a video camera that Vista does not recognize when I plug it into my
FireWitre port. This is the second FireWire card I have tried but no effect.
My friend has an XP SP2, and it worked there, so my cable and my cam are OK.
Any ideas?

I too have this problem. I work in video and I had to install a 2nd hard
drive and install XP on so that I could use my firewire ports. This is how I
know that they work... i'm really frustrated about this. My DV cameras don't
work, i've used a Canon xl1 and xl2.

Well, thank you for disappointing me..... but somehow I had this feeling too.
Luckily I still have my old XP install CD. So maybe Vista has to go...
