but did you check this about the plug and play driver section in device manager.
"Ahhhhh, very infuriating. Now it all works and I don't know why.
Here is what I did...
I re-installed the Firewire PCI card. I had never uninstalled the drivers
when I took the card out, so when I put it back they all appeared in the
device manager list with no balloons indicating new hardware had been
installed.
Then with the device manager open I selected "show hidden devices". I know,
I know, I committed the cardinal sin and didn't write down what I was
seeing... There was one driver in the "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" list that
had a yellow exclaimation point. It said something like "Intel SMbus 2.0".
I uninstalled it and rebooted figuring XP would reinstall the driver. It did
not.
So then I plugged the firewire cable into the camcorder and powered up in
the VCR mode. Lo and behold XP recognized the camcorder and Movie Maker
captured the video just fine."
So now I don't know if that Non-Plug and Play driver was the culprit or not.
I didn't change anything else.
