I am having the same problem with my new HP. I can control the camera but
cannot capture. The factory installed USB/1394 hub is detecting but not
capturing. I have contacted HP they sent me a new PCI card but I continue to
have the same problem. Have you come up with any solution? I am assuming it
is a driver error but cannot find any updated ones. The PCI is VIA.

Thank You for any assistance.
