when it was suggested that you look at your hardware configuration on your PC, you stated that…
“I did what you said and I don’t see “IEEE 1394 Bus host devices”. What hardware do I need to install?”
This, in itself, tells me you do not have firewire hardware in your PC.
There are a few models of Toshiba laptop that have theiri.LINK IEEE-1394 port. It looks like a smaller version of the connector on the right in the diagram above. If you have this on your PC I would try their online support and see if they offer downloads/updates for their hardwaredrivers.
