Oh, please have a solution before they haul me off to a padded room!
I'm trying to download video from my Elura 65 via my XP firewire (onboard an Intel D945 PVS motherboard). The facts:
- the camera and cables are working fine ... I tested them on another machine and those machines recognize and control the camera
- Device Manager recognizes the camera by name under Imaging Devices, but has the dreaded "!" and tells me that it's a code 39 error
- The Elura screen says "DV-in" and it isn't blinking so the camera is recognizing the computer
- My software (Nerovision, or any other) tells me that no DV device is hooked up.
- I've contacted Canon and Intel (maker of the motherboard)-- both say that it is a Microsoft problem.
- Googled the problem and came up with hours worth of reading and still have no solution.
Does anybody know what the problem is. It would seem that XP-professional (with SP2) is missing some drivers but I cannot discover which ones (let alone where to get them and how to install them).
Please help. I guess one solution would be to buy a new PCI firewire card but, it could fail too if the XP drivers are missing.
