OT No Firewire Comms at All

One minute it worked, the next it didn't. Firewire comms are out for cameras and external firewire drives. We have many drives, cameras, and cables to try to try so, we are pretty sure it is the laptop.

Device manager OK, Texas Instruments firewire.

What else might I try? TIA

Dell, XP Home, 2.4, 512k, 40 gig.

Hi,
try restart laptop, update windows, if no joy, remove firewire and reinstall again. If still no joy reinstall windows (I assume you run windows) and update again. Look for updates at your laptop manufacturer.
If you not using XP, I would adwise to do so.

Just got it.

For future ref. to all:

We uninstalled the 1394 driver, booted, and the driver reinstalled.

All OK now.
