-=PCTechTalk=- Re: FireWire trouble

Save yourself grief....

Call the card manufacturer...and if there is no number you can dial from...
email them.  You are probably NOT alone.....Others are bound to have had the
same problem....

The hardware being pre XP..COULD be the problem as you too think......but
..since it is an old card... the manufacturer may have drivers, but not have
the drivers on their site any longer.

I have found most of the companies I have dealt with very helpful.

Also, the new combo cards... from Adaptec have been on sale a lot lately...
Combo.... firewire and USB 2.0.

Not sure I am helping Glenn, but just letting you know of my experiences.

Hugs,
Rose

Hey,

I am trying to install my Western Digital Firewire PCI card on XP Home, but
there are problems. Here's the situation:

* When physically installing the card, the computer recognise new hardware
* There's a yellow explamation mark in the Decive Manager for the FW card
* When trying to install the driver from the CD that came with the card,
Windows says drivers are already installed (then why the explamation mark?)
* And Windows says it cant find the relevant driver from the CD
* I cant find any FW drivers from the manufacturer's website
* Windows Update do not find that I am missing a FW driver
* Cant find any drivers from driverguide.com

The card is pretty old, I got it before XP was released - can it be that
some FW cards are not compatible with XP since the card came out before XP?

Are there any standard 1394 drivers I can install to override current
drivers, which do not work? If so, where can I find them?

Thanks,
Glenn
