firewire device stopping windows booting

[dtokez]

hi all, i have a firewire pci card in one of my machines and when i have a firewire device plugged in (audio device) it causes windows xp to hang on the splash screen.

I think ive heard of a similar issue with usb before and im wondering if they is anyway to fix it because its rather annoying having to unplug each time

thanks in advance

thanks a lot, im not using external power which is something to think about.

cheers for the advice on plugging and unplugging.

The interface is a Stanton / Traktor final scratch unit. i think i brought it new around 2005/6 and ive only had this problem with it since i started using on another pc

thanks for your help
