This is going to be one of those long drawn out affairs or.... we hit on
what it is and get it to work.
As you have said the cam works with an old pc, we can assume all the
component parts, ie, camera/cable are working properly.
We know there are no conflicts shown in device manager.

The first thing I'd suggest is uninstall the firewire connection.
Turn off pc.
Connect the cam, turn it on ready.
Reboot pc, let it find drivers and see if it detects the cam.

If this doesn't work, I'd be tempted to reinstall XP, and with no other apps
etc try the cam and see if it can detect it. Then gradually add each app and
or driver combination and check to ensure the cam works each time. Use
system restore to go back if you find one that makes it stp functioning.
Until you have your fully operational pc back.
