known issues with windows 7 x64 drivers - not likely to be fixed now that they arent making the cards anymore

got the win 7 drivers been working on it for a couple of months i think its a hardware isssue

other thing it could be is floppydtv's can be very fussy about firewire controllers - if you used a card before and are now using onboard then try the card again - of course if you were using onboard before then it's gonna be a bit trickier

yes was using a card before but cant go back to it as i have no spare pci slots in fact i have none which is strange they are all pci-e and i know what you are thinking why buy a board with such little expansion.the reason its the only 1 that you can get an amplified hd dts 7.1 surrond just connect your speakers to the card that comes with the board just need to solve this prob i also changed the iee controller to legacy but still no joy got to solder a radial capcitor onto the power lead as there seems to be a voltage prob with floppydtv so going to try that these floppys dont like much new power supplys iee cont lol

I generaly try and avoid thinking as it always gets me in trouble lol

yeah i know what you mean mines fried with this prob just emailed the guy where i bought it from and he told me to send it back and he would take the 1 out of his pc at home and exchange it with that 1 lol some people :banana:

well wonko you were right tried everything to get it to work and in the end i bought a pci-e firewire card and it worked so floppys are very fussy lol thanks for your help mate
