Thanks for trying to help with this.
Here is the string shown for the device id for the multimedia controller
(Firewire card):
PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7146&SUBSYS_00031809&REV_01\5&F334E6&0&3008F0
Though I am moderately experienced with PC software, I am not as good on
hardware, and really have no idea what this means...but if it helps with the
troubleshooting, there it is!
Thanks again.

My question pertains to Windows XP Pro SP2 installation of drivers for my
Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller (firewire card).
When I originally installed the card in the old XP Home SP2 system, it was
automatically installed with drivers contained in the OS, there was no
separate cd with drivers provided with the card.
I moved the card over to a new XP Pro SP2 system, and upon booting, the OS
asks to be directed to a disc or folder with the appropriate driver.
A web search led to identification of a file called GIC
220U-ALi-33s-1-4-7.zip which extracted to EHCI_147.exe, but when I run it, it
asks "Windows XP SP1 has USB 2.0 controller inbox driver. Do you want to
install ALi usb 2.0 controller driver?"
I have absolutely no idea what the implications might be if I run that.
If anyone can provide some guidance, it would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Obviously, something isn't right.
You can start, by going to Device Manager. In WinXP, if you do
Properties on a Device, then use the Details tab, and look for
"Device Instance ID", you get a text string that looks like this.
This is for the USB2 controller on my motherboard.
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3104&SUBSYS_31041849&REV_90\3&267A616A&0&84
See if you can locate that string, and post it for feedback.
The VEN and DEV values are the most important.
The VEN and DEV values are informally maintained in this file,
if you want to look them up yourself. There are also utilities
that can assign a name to them, but at the moment, it is more
important to get the string, in case something funny is
going on.
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids
A separate file is used to hold the identities of USB devices.
That file is also informally maintained.
The official registries keep the IDs secret. The informally
maintained files, may not contain all existing devices, so
the system is less than perfect.
