Hello,
I've been searching this forum as well as the web, without finding any answer to my specific problem.
Last week I purchased a used Firewire 1814. Went home and tried to install it in Windows 7 32-bit, with no luck at all. When I run the Device Enabler and it tells me to connect my device and press "Enable Device", I got a blue screen-crash. The second time, I got no response at all (the Enabler doesn't do anything after I've pressed enable device).
By chance, I had another FW-port in my computer, it's located in a seperate slot, but you use a cable to connect it to the motherboard (don't know what you call these). Same thing there.
Well, then I read something about FW-ports on the motherboard and that using an external pci-card might work better. So, today I bought a pci-card with three FW-ports. Now, same thing here, though I clearly noticed that the first time I try a port, I get a blue screen, and after that nothing happens on the same port. That is, as I plugged my 1814 to the PCI's second port, the same thing happened: first try, blue screen system crash, second time, nothing happens.
I'm wondering if my 1814 is burning all my FW-connections? Unluckily, I don't have any other firewire devices to test them.
I have tried all the FW-device drivers in Windows Device Manager, and I have tried almost all of the older drivers for M-Audios Firewire series. In the installer version 6.0.4, I noticed one of the bugfixes mentioned is "Fixed blue screen of death when loading the ProjectMix or 1814 driver". Still no help to me.
Can anyone tell me if I should try to return the card or if this is a known issue that might be solved (I've had one other hit googling, but that guy didn't seem to work it out)?
Kindest regards from one sad musician,
J
My specs are:
Windows 7, 32-bit
HP Pavilion with AMD Phenom(tm) 8550 Triple-Core Processor 2.20 GHz, 4 GB RAM
The chip on the fw-pci I bought today is named VT6306 (VIA) and seems to work properly.
