Then follow this guide on how to reboot without driver signing enabled: … -windows-8 Locate these files from a Windows 7 machine:Ĭopy all these files into a folder of your choice on your Windows 8 computer. Get yourself access to a Windows 7 computer, if you are running Win8 32bit then you need Win 7 32bit, if you are running Win8 圆4 you need files from a Win7 圆4 computer. I guess it might depend on the device though.For those who are running Windows 8 and want to use their RME Fireface 400/800 cards (and other brands of FW cards should apply) and need to use the legacy firewire driver please try these steps.ĭO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, BACKUP FIRST, DO NOT TAKE ADVICE FROM STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET AS GOSPEL. Otherwise nothing else pops up when you plug in your device. Host controller, you might see an extra entry popup in device manager (if you're using the 'legacy' driver). Depending on what driver you're using for the bus

And when you plug-in your device, it should be detected. Close the editor, restart, and the IEEE 1394 Bust Host controller\1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller should show up in device manager. Here's a link to descriptions of this stuff: Modify value, right click on start, select modify, and type in 2. I changed this to 2, which means 'start at startup'. For "Start," "REG_DWORD," the 'Data' value is probably going to be 0x00000003. When I click on the 1394ohci folder it brings up a list of settings. There's actually 2 folders/entries in my registry that look similar. You might have to do a little digging here to make sure you've got Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurentControlSet\Services and find the folder that corresponds to the 1394 bus host you normally use or see in device manager. After a restart, the bus host will load at startup, and when you plug your firewire device in, the bus host will detect In any event, I edited an entry in the registry that tells the 1394 bus host controller to start at OS startup instead of 'on demand'. To do, and perhaps you have no updated driver and can't get one. Maybe on older devices the driver isn't doing what it's supposed

Perhaps the device is supposed to send a message that starts the service - who knows. Hard drive, camera, or whatever), and sometimes it doesn't install the service even if the device is plugged in. The OS doesn't install the service for the bus unless the device is plugged in at startup (the external Thought I should share it, hopefully save someone else the agony of searching and reading for hours.īasically, what I think is or can be happening - and I'm no expert at all - is that there's miscommunication between the OS, the bus, and the device. This is what I did and it works, seems very After a lot of reading I never found a real solution - until I started piecing some things together.

This is one of many threads I came across googling roughly 'IEEE 1394 device not showing up in device manager'.
