i ordered a firewire\usb2.0 card for my pc. it came today and this is exactly what i did...
shut down the computer, pulled the power cord. took the covers off, unscrewed the block off plate in the back, placed the card in gently but firmly and installed it, all the contacts line up and are completley seated. left the covers off to make sure that i had everything correct before i put it together, so i plugged in the power cord, and started it up.
now it said that my pc would recognize it automatically...if it did i dont know it. so i inserted the disk that came with the card..i here it spinning and running but nothing comes up on the screen (like a setup screen..nothing) so i do a little reading and it says go to device manager to see if it shows up, its the 1394 i believe, it says if its there, right click and check properties.. if nothing comes up its not using any memory and something is wrong...so i pull up the properties and all it says is the name (the 1399 at the top) with a blank grey windown below the name...
so what do i do now? im very eager to get this going...
