Why did my PC video capture stop working?

Does it work with movie maker?

Believe or not it can be the cable it self. I've had problems with cable on a mac for a soundcard and hard drive. It turned out to be the cable. So I would investigate that. After all if windows isn't picking it up and recognising the camera.

I use Premiere 6 and sometimes once in a blue moon it forgets my camera but a restart of the software or reboot the comp does the trick.
But as you say you had dropped frames and then it dies I would check the cable as they're not indestructable.

In XP if you have system restore turned on you can roll back to a date when the computer was working alright. But this only works if you have had this function turned on in the first place.

It seems firewire is not 100% safley hot swappable if the devices are turned on even though it should be. So have you checked your camera on another machine?
