Did you install all the updates from Windows Update? I think the firewire one I mentioned wasn't listed on Windows Update - I'll see if I can fine the KB number. Edit: Just had a look on support.microsoft.com and I might be talking about XP...

Seriously - check the firewire connection(s) I had similar until I swapped the firewire card in my PC (I have FireDTV's and it was the socket that was dodgey). Nearly drove me mad until I'd found it...

It could be the CAM, though, but the above are easier to check.

i think I know what your talking about. The update seems to be more of a reg modification to correct firewire devices from disappearing. Another fix is to actually downgrade the firewire drivers (use legacy drivers) as MS screwed them up in a update at one point on Vista. I'll look further into it though. Thanks

Solution - Change the CAM.

My Blue Zeta CAM was the problem.
