My Dell Inspiron 9100 has suddenly dedcided it doesn'y want to recognize my Canopus AVDC-100. It readily locks on to all other firewire input devices (camera, etc.). All cables have been tested OK. I have two of the Canopus devices and both exhibit the same problem on the laptop, but work perfectly on other systems.

I've tried an external firewire cardbus that I know works, still to no avail. The problem is obviously with the computer settings, but I can't seem to track it down.

Any ideas?

Thanks
