IEEE 1394 controller driver

Running under XP-SP2, we want to transfer a video from a Sony TRV7E DV camera to a desktop pc using Pinnacle Studio 9.4 (or 10.5).
Pinnacle tells us that it doesn’t “see” a DV camera which is probably not switched on.
In fact, when you go into the Device Manager in the Control Panel, the IEEE 1394 controller item is displayed with the clasical black exclamation mark against a yellow background. Thus, the SONY IEEE card (in a PCI slot) is recognized but apparently the proper driver is missing.
We tried to install several drivers through the update driver option. No appropriate driver was found in XP-SP2 nor was any of the drivers we downloaded ok.

Move the card to a different PCI slot, then try to update the driver again.

I tried several drivers which did not work. Apparently, everything worked fine under Windows Me, the worst Windows ever marketed by Microsoft.
I'll be testing the card on a separate pc. If it still doesn't work, we'll buy a new card. Thank you for your help.

"I tried several drivers which did not work."
But, did you try different PCI slots?

No, we didn't try another slot because they were all full. Rather than switching cards around between the slots, we believed that by running a test with that card on a different pc, we would be killing two birds with one stone.
