your computer hates you. \n\ndid you make sure that it's listed in the device manager. \n\ndoes it need a driver. did you try pluging it into a different port?\n\ndid you try to get a multi card reader?

If it came with a CD use that if not. Go onto the manufactures website and you should be able to download the driver. Another problem you said is that it won't allow you to install it. The problem might be that your anti-virus software is preventing it to install. In that case disable your anti-virus and the firewall to see if you can install it then. If that doesn't work, then  send me a message and I will look into it further if you like. or wait for some one else to answer. hope this helped. oh one more thing make sure that it securly in. even if it is a little pulled out it might not work.

Check your Firewall, make sure that program is allowed to connect, if you have one.\n\nAlso check settings, tell it your behind a firewall, if it has that option and that is if you do have one..

not enough power to your laptop, try putting in the recharging wire while you use it.  If thats not the problem, try redownloading the software for the webcam

LAN or firewire, Firewire has the convenience of a cable going from one computer to the other, USB is designed to have only one computer so it get really confused trying to connect 2 computers. LAN has the headaches of security issues. But firewire has expensive cables and it's unlikely that your friends will have some laying around. \n\nBut for all your file shareing stuff you'll need to share folders. just look in help Start:help and search for file sharing. No biggie...

lol.  u are taking about different connections.  your pci card goes into the main board inside the computer...  the usb firewire are connections to the outside of the computer.

Is the drive USB or firewire? You may have a bad port on the desktop. To check this:\ngo to the apple menu in the top left corner\nchoose about this mac. when the window pops up, select more info...\nthis opens System profiler\nclick on usb and firewire to see if they register. If it says nothing, there's your problem.\n\nIf all ports are working, try this:\ngo to applications - utilities and open disk utility\nplug in your drive and see if it appears\n\nif it still doesn't appear, choose mount drive from the menus at the top while in disk utilityq

Go into preferences, check the "connection" and try different options. You're probably having a firewall issue.

If you have windows, than you do, go to start, then control panel, firewall, off!  Then it should work if it is the fire wall problem!

Trey connecting with other browsers... If it's the same problem, you should contact your network provider. Either the network is down, they didn't give you corectly the configuration, the wires aren't connected...

First make sure your computer detects your firewire device.Before hooking your camcorder through firewire port go to (on your camcorder) vcr mode-press menu-select vcr set-select av/dv out.It must be off by default.you must select it on.Go to camera mode press menu-setup menu-usb stream and make sure it is selected on.Also check your firewire cable for anything that interrupts flow of data.Good Luck.

Sorry to tell you this, bub, but if you can't figure out how to hook it to your computer, you also arent going to be able to figure out how to use it, so you should just take it back to wherever you got it.

I think the firewall program (in your computer) prevents this connection.  You probably will have to allow this connection.  Since there are many kind of firewall programs, I can not really tell you how to open a port or allow a connection.  Please follow the documentation came with your program.  Or post another question in regard to your firewall program if you know the name.\n\nGood luck.

A new motherboard will almost certainly cost less than a PCI-to-PCI adapter - and anyhow, where would the cards physically go?\n\nYou also may wish to consider using USB or Firewire/1394 peripherals instead of using PCI cards.
