Can't find 1394 in device manager - asrock p67 extreme4

[scrappyd]

Hello.

I have an Asrock P67 Extreme4 motherboard and I have 2 related problems.


I'm trying to use the firewire port to capture video from my camera (something I've done on my old pc so I know it works).

I'm running Windows 7.


1)

I can't get my computer to recognize the camera attached to the 1394 port. The 1394 port doesn't show up in device manager. I'm not sure if the 1394 port is working.

I checked the bios and 1394 is enabled. I tried bios versions 1.3 and 1.5 with the same results.


2)

I have a 1394 PCI card (it worked in my old pc) that I tried to install. After placing the card in the pci slot and rebooting, the computer hangs at the Asrock startup screen. Dr Debug shows code 92. When I remove the 1394 pci card the computer starts up normally.


If you can help me solve either problem 1 or 2, I can capture my video.

Thanks.

hi! make all update.drivers and your pci card is not compatible

Go to Admin Tools, Computer Mgmt, and make sure that the 1394 port device is assigned a drive letter that is not in conflict. When you hot plug the 1394 device, it should signal with a chime that it is connected. It should show as a lettered drive.

For a camcorder, you should install the drivers and software that came with the camera.

Thanks for the replies.

I emailed Asrock.

They told me if I don't see the 1394 port in Device Manager there is probably something wrong with it and I should RMA it.

I'll just wait for the new shipment of P67 boards with the fixed Intel chipsets. Hopefully it won't be too long before they get here.
