Did you install a FW800 card in the PC? Sometimes these come with special drivers from Unibrain. The Unibrain (or UBCORE) drivers are incompatible with audio/video FW devices - they are only for use with hard drives. If you see these listed in device manager under IEEE-1394 devices, uninstall and reboot the system. Windows should detect and install the generic OS FW driver.
