Heheh, still another negative. Thanks for the advice though.
I have a PCI firewire card, and my new motherboard has firewire built-in, and
un-installing and re-installing doesn't fix it, and it always automaticaly just installs
it as a network card, it doesn't even prompt for drivers.
Besides, firewire is just a standard, no need to go out and buy some fancy name brand
card, the drivers are all really the same, it's just that XP seems to like it to
only be a networking device on my computer.
