Hello my friend I have the same type of camera and i was able to be connected with my pc until now. ANYWAY. The camera will be regognised easily from windows XP.Take a look to the device management from the icon MY computer etc...etc... if You have your fire wire port installed rightly(even it is onboard or in a PCI card). Try to put the cables rightly into the camera from on side to the the other side(pc).Take a look in to the IRQs. If something is rong the system is not able to regognise your camera or any device in FIreWire port. Try another cable.Good night and i hope to have news from you
