Hello Abe,

Are you connecting to a firewire PCI card or a firewire port on the motherboard? What other devices do you have connected to firewire or the PCI bus? What is the processor in the system? What version of XP are you (home, pro, media center)?

I have a firestudio myself, but I haven't had this problem. Are you using any devices through the ADAT ports? Thank you.
