michele,

Did you by chance have firewire, then updated your computer to SP2? If so I'll post a tut on how to fix this as I had a problem with my older system when I updated to SP2.

michele,

Go to

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

and install this MS patch. If it doesn't work let me know. There's another fix but it is more complicated.

michele,

Here's how to do it:

Go to the the hidden Windows\Inf directory and copy 1394.inf to a new directory, like \1394_fix.

Before updating to SP2:

Go to Windows\system32\drivers and copy ohci1394.sys and 1394bus.sys to \1394_fix. These files have a date around august 2002, and say SP1 in their file properties.

If you already updated to SP2: the old ohci1394.sys and 1394bus.sys are found in Windows\Driver Cache\i386\sp1.cab. Copy the files from this archive into the directory \1394_fix.

Install the SP2 update, unless you already have.

Go to Windows\system32\drivers and copy these files to \1394_fix: arp1394.sys, enum1394.sys, nic1394.sys
These files are the ones from SP2. There is no need to reinstall all old FireWire drivers. Some of them haven't changed, others are for network use only.

These files are now also found in the sp2.cab, location see above.

Rename sp2.cab to sp2_dead.cab.
This is necessary, as Windows includes a nice security mechanism, which prevents worst-case-users from accidentally overwriting important driver files with older versions, or even worse, deleting them completely. So if you try to install the mix of driver files in \1394_fix, Windows will automatically install the newer files found in its sp2.cab!

Make sure that no external FireWire device is presently connected.

Go to Device Manager, FireWire controller (OHCI xxx, 1394 or similar), Properties, Driver, Driver Update. Select 'No, only this time', 'Install from a list or specific location (advanced)', click 'Next', select 'Don't search I will choose the driver to install', click 'Next', then 'Have Disk'. Now point to \1394_fix. Then continue.

Windows will now ask for the path to the file ohci1394.sys and 1394bus.sys. It wants to install the newer ones (see above). Again point to \1394_fix.

That's it. You can now go to Driver Details, and verify that all driver files are from SP2 except the ohci1394.sys and 1394bus.sys, which are from SP1. Next reboot.

Finally you can rename sp2_dead.cab back to sp2.cab. Windows will no longer try to copy the newer driver file until you do a reinstall of the FireWire controller driver. So it makes sense to activate the driver cache security mechanism again.

This should do the trick,

So Windows can recognize the firewire now? I would try re-installing VideoStudio now.


Hope this helps,
