Here is the Knowledgebase article. I've been told to read the article carefully before deciding if their "fix" is sutiable for your system.

That's all I can help you with, so as Microsoft says..."Good Luck with that!"

just spent a little while with the fix on this. Now it captures for between 20-30 secs before freezing. I have tried the sid speed on 0, 1, 2 and 3 and none of them allow for capturing more than that.
i think I have to try to rollback to servicepack 1a but unfortunately my copy of windows is already complete with sp2.
Does anyone know if its possible to choose to not install sp2 during the installation? I didnt see it during todays reformat.

If the CD comes with it pre-installed, you can't remove it as far as I know. Is your XP CD the retail version (full install?) XP Pro, right?

I may have some older copies available at work that either have no service pack or are pre-installed with SP1a I could send to you. I know we used to have about 50 of them. Your product key and everything should work just fine, and if I can find some I'll send one to you free of charge.

If you just email me your shipping address, I'll look Tuesday and see what I can find.

thats very kind of you nick, thanks a lot. I'm pretty sure I have an old version of windows at home somewhere which does not have SP1 on it but if i can't find that I'll certainly let you know and ofcourse I'll pay you whatever it costs to ship.
After doing some research it seems the problem is with VIA 1394 chipsets. I'm going to the shop today to buy one that has a Texas Instruments chipset as I'm told these do not have any problems with SP2... I will post my findings as soon as I know.
thanks again. David.

Good luck...

just incase anyone has the same problem, it seems that either rolling back to sp1 or buying a firewire card with the TI chipset (as I did) corrects this issue. I still have the occasional issue that means I have to turn my camera off, restart premiere and turn it back on again in order to capture, but thats nothing compared to the hell I've had the last two weeks so I'm happy to stick with the TI card that I've got.

Firewire networking can cause this sort of problem. Is it turned off?

i never knew of such a thing. its turned off only if thats its default

Alan Craven · February 27th, 2006, 01:00 AM

There is a setting in the Windows firewall for this. I think "on" is the default. It is on the Advanced tab of the firewall settings.

It is possible that other firewalls also have this setting.

hmm ok thanks. Ive disabled it now as we have one within our router anyway. I suppose I'll never know if it would have solved the problem now that I've got the TI chipset capture card! Seems to be working fine now tho.
