Hi.

I have a Sony DCR-TRV310. I had it working with my PC two years ago, but now it's finicky.

I have a new firwewire combo card (ZoneNet 4 port USB 2.0 + 3 Port IEEE1394 host card), which XP detected and installed fine.

The camcorder says DV IN so I assume that's working.

I also have a Creative PC-750 webcam which shows up in all three Movie making software suites installed on my PC. I thought maybe there was a conflict there. I uninstalled it but no dice.

It's very odd though, because once in a while, I'll move the firewire to one of the other ports and XP will detect it.

What's even more odd is that last night (after I first installed everything) everything was working fine.

Sorry if I jumped around on this but it's late and I'm tired. Based on other replies in this thread it seems I'm not alone.

Oh- I have XP Pro SP1. Which is different than when I originally had this all working 2 years ago.
