I think I've now classically conditioned myself to become violent and swear profusely when I see that window appear! I was at my friend's house yesterday and watched while he installed something except I was kind of spaced out and not really paying much attention. My computer still doesn't recognise the video camera and that all too familiar 'New Hardware Found' window pops up. Posted on Tuesday, J15:39 GMTGromit, I tried that method of swapping the SP2 to SP1 firewire drivers as described by several posters in the link you gave me but it hasn't worked. I would so goddamn appreciate anyone's advice here because I am seriously going insane over this. But this doesn't seem the case, or is it?Ĭan someone tell me, from what i've described, am I in the same situation as others on this forum here or am I dumb and supposed to be looking for the right driver for mu PC to understand my JVC GR-DV500 video camera?! Is this what everyone here means about the computer not recognising their JVC video cameras? Coz I thought sh** maybe I've just forgotten to download the driver software for this camera to send video via IEEE 1394. i know that the computer recognises the IEEE 1394, but when I have everything connected and turn the camera on, a 'install new hardware' window pops up. Ok I have a JVC GR-DV500 video camera and just got a firewire card and cable.

Assuming your firewire card is installing OK in the AMD, it might be time for you to try some OS patches:
