RE: Can't capture video; get 0x80040154 error message

Graham, thank you for your advice.
Went and got a non-combo Firewire card... but same problem, resolved for now
by putting the card in a different laptop (Compaq Win XP), which we'll use
for next week's demo.
At this point, I think that whatever is different about my IBM T40 (as
compared to the other, Firewire-compatible T40s in my workgroup) is a local
problem rather than a problem that affects all IBM T40s with Win XP SP2. I do
multimedia design, and use a wide variety of programs, and I'll bet that
there's a conflict between programs somewhere or other that could be truly
solved only by reformatting the hard drive, accompanied by a suitable
country-western dirge and a quart of Jack Daniels.
Again, thanks for the help...

Jon
