firewire card problem

Clarifications

If the hardware came with a disk you will want to reinstall the driver from it. Go thru the device manager and change the driver.

If you don't have the disk for it you will want to download the latest one.

Isn't Plug-and-Play great?

You may need to move the fire-wire card to a different PCI slot.

While Windows can usually deal with hardware conflicts, very often the "device cannot start" notice is the result of a hardware conflict. Moving the card to a different PCI slot should correct the problem.

Sometimes, it is just a matter of installing the plug in cards in a specific order.

I have also had to shuffle plug-in cards in order to find a configuration where all of the plug-in cards function properly.

A few times, I have had to select different makes of some plug-in cards in order to get a system working.
