IEEE 1394 port not recognized in new ASUS M2NPV-VM Socket AM2

Hi

I have a fully fine working AMD 64 bit PC with ASUS M2NPV-VM Socket AM2 MB. It has 1394 port enabled in BIOS as well as cable is connected inside the ATX cabinet too...still it cant recognize my canon MV850i camcorder ...by firewire cable

Can anybody help plzzzzz....

Not sure, but does it require a driver to be installed? If so them that might be the problem.

Install the driver.

maybe...lemme chk

^^Does the firewire port show up in network connections?

No Chaos.it doesnt show in network connections .......

must be a driver issue. check the driver and see if resourcers (like irq etc.) are available to the controller. also check if the cable from the port to the motherboard is connected correctly. many a times it may haf many individual connectors not connected correctly! use a software like everest to see the system properties and whether it detects it. also configure ur video capturing software to search for the device on firewire port. many a times the default is usb.

check in "device manager". and it will also show in "network connection"

seems that you may have some switch/mode to change on the camera to make it detected as a device, I remember my friend having such problem on usb port, later I found that there is a mode on the camera which if not selected it wont show & get detected as a USB device.

Is the same applicable with ur camcorder?

He is connecting using IEEE and not USB

Yes I know, I gave that specific USB example of my friends camera.
Point I am making, does the camera has switch to make it detected as a device then that has to be switched on.

Try connecting on a different port or changing cable. Which IEEE cable are you using.......4-6

Ya I am using 4-6 cable ...I will try changing the cable ..but I wonder same cable was working fine with my old PC...

Point I am making, does the camera has switch to make it detected as a device then that has to be switched on.

No yaar..camera doesnt have any switch like this..You have to turn it on and just play the movie recorded ...thats it..

Thanks for all suggestions...

There was one patch for FireWire for Windows XP Sp2 .. Try installing that and see if that helps.

*support.microsoft.com/kb/885222

Also search MS KB for FireWire ..

Any drastic h/w or s/w changes, like maybe XP SP2, just trying to narrow down things.....

Ya I had changed my whole PC...Its AMD 64 bit 3600 + , 1 GB RAM, ASUS M2v NVVM MB and Win XP Pack 3.....Earlier it was P-III 700 MHz, 810 MB and 128 MB RAM with Win 98 ...

Also I have SATA 2 disk now and I think I cant install Win 98 on it

plz help

then your question should be "camcorder not detected".
as your ieee 1394 port is already recognized.

some camcorder has to select output in its Menu " USB 2.0 or Firewire"
try to restart pc after camcorder is connected.

I have tried everything..there is no driver on canon site for XP...plz help

Didnt they supply a driver cd along with the cam when u bought it?
