My son just bought a used (but almost new) Canon GL2.
We also have a sony trv540.

We thought that the firewire died in the sony, but The Canon doesnt work either.

We have three PC’s with firewire ports. The two cameras don’t work on any of them.

We have googled the problem and found many have had problems with xp and SP2.

We have tried a few things and no results.

Have you heard of this problem?
Are there any non microsoft firewire drivers that you could recomend?

We think that the chances of both cameras having broke firewire ports are remote. It is also unlikely the all three pc’s ports are broke. But the xp and sp2 issue is common to all machines.

Thanx
