FireDTV/Firewire IEEE 1394 Driver update for Vista 32/64 (1 Viewer)

[cbadk]

Hi

*** NEW DRIVER UPLOADED ***

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...wire-driver-vista-32-64-windows-2008-a-68072/

Information about the update:

For people having trouble with FireDTV products/Firewire 1394 (packet loss and bad performance), this may fix some of your problems.
This fix includes the latest 1394 driver from Microsoft(this will be included in SP2), installation tool and script to fix the regkey which is needed.

This driver will work with almost all 1394 firewire cards.

Things this driver may help solve:
1) 2 tuners connected but only 1 shows in device manager.
2) Faster scanning and more stable.
3) CAM drop out issue , where the cam becomes unavailable

Since the original KB958149 doesn’t install the driver correct I made a new driver information file and made a small installation bat script + included the script that could be found Here

Prerequisites:

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 64/32

This hotfix also includes the previous hotfixes:
KB952824
KB951410


Updates:
03/02/2009 22.53
Since some of you had problems with vista driver installation(becourse of driver signature), KB958149 is now included for both 32 and 64. Test on 3 different chipset. NEC, VIA and TI.

03/02/2009 23.33
Updated DPInst.exe so it will install correctly. Fixed 1394bus_c2.sys.

04/02/2009 00.19
Fixed problem with 64 bit driver. Removed SignatureAttributes for 64 bit driver. You might need to disable driver signing by running "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" or simple by running the file driversigning_off.bat placed in 64bit!


How to install:

1) Run Install_hotfix.bat
2) Restart computer
3) Run Install_driver.bat
4) Restart Computer again
5) Now make sure the driver is installed and working. You can check this in the computers Device manager and look for 1394 and make sure it says c2 version:

6) Also make sure the version numbers contains "vistasp1_ldr" in both files:

Also, remember always to have the lastest firmware and driver!

WARNING! And yes... use at own risk!

Enjoy!

I've been having random "No signal" issues since moving from XP SP3 to Vista 32-bit using FireDTV.
I never had any problems in XP, so I might try this to see if it fixes my problems.

This drivers don't run on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H (does have a TI-1394 controller) under Vista x64 (won't init). The old drivers works fine though.

Hi mironicus

You sould be able to use it now!

Nope, still the same with your new release (driver installs without errors but it won't start the device). On my laptop the 32 Bit-version of the driver runs fine with Vista.

It seams that may need a fresh installed vista sp1 64 bit for this driver to work and then install updates afterwards. It may be that some hotfix is blocking the driver . I just tried installing it on another pc with vista 64 and seams to work.
A last thing you could try uninstalling the driver and make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device"
and try installing it again.

Looks good... i had no problems, but this worth trying
