828mk3 installation problem

The installation freezes up during install after the hardware device is detected and the couple of times it has installed after waiting ages it still doesnt detect the 828 even though its still plugged in after the install?
Im using winxp sp2 with an onboard firewire card on my laptop.

hi,
microsoft does not make fw chips...
it uses rico chipset (which is ••••)
shutdown pc.
connect and turn on the interfaces.
then start the pc.
try again.
maybe this helps.
additional info:

so if the trick with boot with connected interface does not help you can only try with your (pc using the latest bios) + a firewirecard and hope that it works...

thanks for your help. I have managed to install the drivers after numerous attempts and device manager says they are working fine but no program detects the 828 even though its plugged in. I will have a go at getting the latest drivers.

finally had to go and spend another $140 on a expresscard expansion card with firewire (belkin) which fixed the problem. I think they should make it clearer that it isnt going to work with all firewire chipsets.
