| 1303333 | 2012-09-25 05:00:00 | Just noticed that the the 2 x external peripherals I plug into the firewire connections are not working. The alternative use of USB2 connections activates both OK, so I guess that isolates the firewire ports as being the problem. Tried a change of cables, etc but nothing. Think I caused the problem recently by trying a Driver Manager site that upgraded various Intel and assorted system drivers. Have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version but no change, so picking its probably in the Vista operating system/ device drivers that I have done the damage? Don't know where to go from there? Any help will be much appreciated - - - |

| 1303335 | 2012-09-25 05:32:00 | Hi Nick, Have gone into Device Manager and not able to identify the drivers that relate to the firewire ports? Can you please tell me under what category I can find them. Or, do I just go by elimination and roll back all drivers that allow me to do so? Thanks |

| 1303336 | 2012-09-25 06:14:00 | IEEE 1394 bus host controllers is another name for firewire. I wouldnt go to any site to update the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's site. And do a search for the model or Serrvice tag, if its got one | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
