Hi Owen,
You guys have helped me loads recently and I feel like I am being a pain but please HELP!!!
No your not - we are here to help YOU as best we can.
1. My firewire port has literally this second stopped working. I use this for my external Hard Drive. I know it is nothing to do with the Hard Drive itself as I have just plugged it into USB and it works fine.
Have you tried reinstalling the FireWire driver?
Here is a guide on how to do exactly that:-
1. Click START
2. Click RUN
3. Type in
CONTROL SYSDM.CPL
Or if that fails press
++
4. Click the HARDWARE TAB.
5. Click DEVICE MANAGER
6. Click the name of your FireWire manager. Yous will probably say "IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers".
7. Double click the next entry below that. Mine reads "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller".
8. Click the DRIVER tab.
9. Click ROLL BACK DRIVER
If Driver Rollback fails, click UPDATE DRIVER instead and continue below. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully and restart your PC when prompted to do so.
10. In the UPDATE DRIVER screen, Windows will try (only with Service Pack 2 installed) to persuade you to connect to Windows Update. Select "No not at this time" and then click next. If this does not appear skip this step and continue on to step 11.
11. Click "Install from a List or a Specific Location" and click next.
12 .Click "Dont search. I will choose the driver to install" and click next.
13. Click Next. Click Have Disk.
14. Click Browse and navigate to
C:\Windows\INF\1394.INF
This is for the Windows XP driver - my system uses the default drivers.
15. Click OK and follow the remainder of the on-screen instructions.
16. Reboot your PC and hope it works!
"You failed to load SnyUtlis.dll. Please make sure it is properly installed"
Now that is something that has left me stumped - especially as you said you have reinstalled it.
Good Luck.
