Alternatively use the drivers of
SP1 instead: Microsoft Windows
XP SP2 and XP SP3 do not
correctly support IEEE 1394b
FireWire adapters. Downgrading
the Windows XP FireWire bus
driver to the SP1 version is
required for IEEE 1394a or 1394b
FireWire cameras to work
correctly on an IEEE 1394b
adapter, or if you want to use a
1394b FireWire camera with an
IEEE 1394a adapter.
Or: use either the driver of the
AVT Universal Package/
AVT FirePackage or install the
driver provided with the
AVT 1394 Bus Driver Package.
Both drivers replace the
Microsoft OHCI IEEE 1394 driver,
but the second is 100%
compliant to the driver of
Microsoft. This means,
applications using the MS1394
driver will continue to work.
