Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

Hrm, it'll disable if I disable the firewall on them but not if it's enabled.

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

well im sorry but I right click on mine and select disable it greys out and is no longer available to use.Then to use it again i click enable so my Firewire does disable in network connections

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

Bizarre, mine does it now too.

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

It is enabled and I could disable it if I wished.

And my Dad has the same camera but a different PC. His camera works on his PC but I have not yet tried his camera on my pc.....if that makes sense

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

Yes. Have you tried your camera on his PC?

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

Maybe tomorrow...

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

I also have just bought this camera and a having the same probem. Anyone sorted a solution yet??

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

My Dad's camera worked first time on my PC.....looks like there is a fault with mine.

Tesco (where I bought it) will refund or replace it but the price was so good that demand was very high so it's likely I won't get a replacement and a refund will have to do.

Tesco website show it for £240.00

http://www.tesco.com/electrical/prod...Kit+-+(Silver)

When I went in to get it the price was £149.00 instore. As this was the display model and the manual was missing I got it for £109.00 .

It was a cracking bargain and you will see why I am disappointed that all I will get is a refund....and a large bill for buying an alternative....

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

I've had similar (with the same camera too), it works on 1 out of 4 pc's I've tried it on, the one it worked on, just plugged card bus Firewire card with the camera connected to it and it all just installed and worked fine.

Since bought anther make of firewire cardbus card fo rmy own PC's , and not been able to get it going at all on that, need to borrow that original firewire card from work again to prove if its a problem with the card or not

This does seem to be common issue - with firewire I mean, not the camera, quite a few similar reports out on web

There is a XP bug fix from MS regarding " enumeratiing ports" or similar for firewire not detecting devices - have a look for that - didn't help in my case though

This one

Also some referneces here to putting the old firewire driver on instead to fix things

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

yeah my camera was from tesco too. got it for the same price and don't want a refund, I want this camera to work!!!!

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

All Tesco will do is offer a refund as they say they have no more stock. Their website are still able to sell you one for £299 though....

This doensnt seem to be a firewall problem with me as my PC will accept the camera (my dads) but not mine.

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

The Firewall and Network Connection has nothing to do with pluggin A/V devices in AFAIK.

Re: Firewire and Camcorder not dected
 

Oops typo.....I didnt mean firewall, I meant firewire....
