Treeman, thank you for the last options. I have nLited my system. As a result, I do not have SP1.cab, SP2.cab or a DLLCache directory. I also do not have arp1394.sys on my Home SP1 CD. Any workarounds for my situation? Can you send me your SP1 copies of those sys files? Treeman, I've been thinking...even with SP2 FireWire drivers and the complications you apparently had, didn't you at least get the New Hardware Wizard pop-up when you plugged your camera into your computer? You see with mine, I don't even get that. I got the SP1 drivers from a friend and registered that DLL. My PC still does not recognise my DVC when connected to the FireWire port. Well, is this the end of the road?
