JVC DV Camcorder, NEC Firewire, and XP SP3

No sooner had i sorted out my xp sp2 issue with my crap NEC 1394 card, when xp updated to SP3. Tried a million different things, including the one i posted for sp2, but none of them worked. I ended up buying a firewire card with a Texas Instruments chipset. Working fine now! Sometimes, it doesn't matter how smart you are if you have shit components :-P
