I have xp pro. My firewire device is not being seen. A widow and sound use to come up when i plug in but now nothing. i may have changed a setting. is there something i could check?
 
that window is the autoplay. Look in the control panel for an option.
As for the device, look in "My Computer". it should still show up.
 
hold on and let me download XP mode and ill guide you through it.
Sorry, its been a while since Ive has a XP system working.
 
try this, except where it says disable, enable.

How to use Group Policy settings to disable all Autorun features in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 2000
Click Start, click Run, type Gpedit.msc in the Open box, and then click OK.
Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, and then click System.
In the Settings pane, right-click Turn off Autoplay, and then click Properties.

Note In Windows 2000, the policy setting is named Disable Autoplay.
Click Enabled, and then select All drives in the Turn off Autoplay box to disable Autorun on all drives.
Click OK to close the Turn off Autoplay Properties dialog box.
Restart the computer.
Click to expand...
 
I got as far as Aministration templates

I got as far as Aministration templates. There was no system to click on
 
I got here, but cant find the auto play they say is there.

Try the easiest thing first. Go into the device manager, find the Firewire port. Right click on it and click uninsatall. Reboot and let it reinstall the driver. Could be as simple as a corrupted Firewire driver.
