hi

since i have installed winxp sp2 on my pc the firewire won´t work

windows find no driver for the firewire hardware

i have installed the latest viapack tried the asus cd

with win2k i had no problems the driver was already included in windows ?

You might as well run the installer and update all your chipset and other drivers in one go. You say the latest pack didnt work, if possible, I would get rid of all the drivers you already have installed via Add/Remove Programs and throw this at it.

If it doesnt work, try and determine the manufacturer of the firewire control chip from the motherboard if anything is visible, and search for drivers using the name from that.

i´ve tried this but no working firewire

does anybody have an idea ?

did u go into the device mager, select the firewire, and install it from there?

Are you sure its an Asus A7V8X??

Mine doesnt have firewire and accordin to this A7V8X, i doesnt.

So double check your board.
