Checking the drivers
The procedure for checking your 1394 port and digital
camcorder drivers is somewhat different depending on
which version of Windows you are using.
To check the drivers under Windows 98SE and
Windows Millennium:
1. Open the Windows Device Manager. (See page 286
for instructions on accessing Device Manager.)
2. You should not have any drivers with the yellow
exclamation mark error flag on them. If you do,
the driver that is flagged is not loaded properly and
will not work correctly.
3. The driver for the capture card is an OHCI-
compliant IEEE-1394 host controller driver and is
listed under the heading 1394 Bus Controller.
4. The driver for the camcorder is listed under
Imaging Devices. When loaded properly, it is called
“Microsoft DV camera and VCR” in Windows
98SE, and “brand-name DV camcorder” in
Windows Millennium, where brand-name
represents “JVC”, “Sony”, “Canon”, etc.
5. Select the drivers in turn and click first the Remove
button then the Refresh button.
The driver should reload properly. Under Windows
98SE it will ask for the Windows CD. Follow the
on-screen instructions until the reload is complete.
Under Windows Millennium, Device Manager
should be able to find the driver on your hard drive
and not ask you to insert a CD, but if it does, follow
the on-screen instructions.
