After running a diagnostic test it showed alert for my OHCI 1394 Host

Controller that won't start. And has yellow sign next to it in Device

Manager. I understand this controller was intergraded into the system by

Microsoft. I went onto Microsoft's fix it site to have problem analyzied and

they indicated a driver problemm with it and did a reinstall. It worked

temporarily. But the yellow alerts still nag at me. Now, I don't have a

need to use the OHCI IEEE 1394 port on back of my computer and my husband

doesn't on his either but he doesn't get a yellow error sign next to his 1394

IEEE in Device Manager. I get automatic updates but checked for updates on

this but there was none. Does this affect anything that I should continue

to attempt to repair this? Thanks

The IEEE 1394 port is also known as Firewire / iLink port. It is

generally used to connect video camcorders so as to transfer your

"home videos" onto the PC. It does not cause problems to leave it as

is. If you are still troubled about it and definitely do not use it,

you can always turn it off in the PC's BIOS.
 
Thanks, I can disable it in Device Manager but wondered whether I used it or

not why the error icon? I don't have any firewire device cord of right size

to insert in port to test it to see what happens but would like to know it

would work if ever have a need to use it.
