Can't get desktop to recognize scanner through added 1394 card

[dweezel]

I just got this HP desktop, which did not have a 1394 firewire port.  I added a PCI express port, and device manager does recognize the port.  However, when I plug in my old Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED, it does not seem to recognize it.  The scanner doesn't appear on the device manager listing.

In my experience, when a device is plugged in, the computer chimes, signaling that a new device has appeared.  Any suggestions?  BTW, the scanner does work.

Thanks

Hi @dweezel,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you added a PCI express port, and device manager does recognize the port.

Please let us know which scanner are you referring to in the device manager. ?

Was your old Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED working before you added the PCI express port?

This is still the same Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED.  It does seem to be working.  The software I'm using, Nikon Scan 4.0.3, was written for Vista SP2, so it may be a compatibility issue with Win 10.  On the other hand, when I connect the 1394 cable, nothing happens, as if nothing had been attached.  Usually, with new hardware, I get the popup in the lower right corner, but that does not occur.

Hi @dweezel,

Thank you for your reply, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you do not get a pop-up after you connect a new device to the computer.

This issue could occur if the PCI express drivers are not installed.

You may need to get the drivers for the PCI express card from the manufacturer.
