cover Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I have an XPpro machine with a firewire card that used to work fine. After a crash, I've gotten the machine back running fine again other than this Firewire card. Going to most sites, MS included; the drivers are native to your OS and aren't needed separately. My problem is, so what happens when they aren't? I cannot get this 1394 Adaptec card to work properly (yellow ? in my device mgr). SOMEWHERE there must be an opportunity to see the file names necessary and even download the driver files. I started to try "Driver detective" or "PC Unleashed" but after having lost my Internet connection (regained now), don't think I'll put that level of trust in a program like that again. I suspect I'm missing a single file for this card - just don't know the name of the file to hunt for. TIA for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 You should be able to do a "Repair Install" of your O/S which will re-install any missing files. Google has lots of links. Remember that a full backup of your system will help enormously for this type of situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacht Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 You can also try searching the manufacturers website. The card should say on it some kind of brand and model number you can use to look it up in google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
