I have a major problem, bought a brand new computer intel pentium 4 (3.0prescott), ati radeon 9600xt vga card, 512mb ddr ram, seagate 120 g sata hdd, pioneer dvd -+rw, gigabyte p1pe1000pro2 motherboard with in built fire wire so I can do some video editing.

The system came with the OEM windows xp home, I instored a few driver for the printer and scanner and aslo a usb driver for the JVC gr-d73aa dv camera.

After all this I connected the Dv camera and suprise windows doesnt detect anything at all. Think I got a bad computer system I took it back to my seller who tested it and showed me that the firewire works well. He networked it with other PCs with firewire and it worked fine, we tested it with my DV camera and it didnt detect at all.

So I took the computer home and tried another method I had a pyro firewire card and after instoring that it still didnt work, the computer wasnt able to detect the DV camera at all.

I checked for conflicts and found none, I re-instored the drivers again, I updated to the latest drivers, I updated all xp patches, I turned off all anti virus pulled out all the printer and scanner. None of this did anything.

Oh the usb connection is fine I can use that, and also I have an old computer which I put the Pyro card in it runs windows xp pro the first version when it was first released

The camera works fine with usb but just not with firewire. I have an older computer running an earlier version of windows xp pro and after I instored the pyro firewire card in it I could detect the Dv camera.

This makes me think that it much be a problem with the latest patch from microsoft or I must be going crazy. I have contacted JVC and they have also tested the camera and said nothing is wrong with it I have contacted mircosoft and they dont think its a problem with xp, i have contacted gigabyte and they think it has nothing to do with them.

So you can see I am really at a lost to why my computer can not detect a dv camera connected via firewire. Oh my DV camera is plugged on to a power supply and switched to view and this is done correctly.

Please can someone please help me, I dont know what else to do I want to use my Adobe Premiere Pro and the capture method is via firewire.

Please help
