The ADVC100 I've had forever died in an electrical storm last fall. Canopus no longer repairs this model, so I purchased a replacement on Ebay. I attached the "new" unit via my firewire card, same as before, using new cables. p/s etc.
When I power up, XP sees the device (the device found bells play) but XP then proceeds to prompt for an "AV/C driver." This unit, of course, needs no driver. I tried several other computers to make sure it wasn't a firewire card issue. I got the same results.
I could only find one reference to this error on Google. A poster to a video forum had the same error and contacted Canopus. They told him it was a known defect with some units. He shipped it back to them, they updated the firmware and all was well when the unit was returned.
I'm not really worried about a refund, the seller is reputable with a good rating, but I really, really love this little device and would like to somehow get it functioning if at all possible.
Thanks for any input/suggestions. (Maybe I should just spend the extra $$ on an ADVC-110.)
