And just to get your terminology up to date, it is a firewire cable, not firewall cable.

Ooops (Firewire)...that's what I meant.

Also my computer sits on the shut down screen and freezes. I think my driver for the firewire port is hanging it up. Any ideas on how I can shut off the driver automatically so my computer can shut down?

It shouldn't be running, after you shut down the capture software. Try a defrag of your drive to see if that helps.

If it doesn't, make sure that firewire driver, or whatever, isn't running at startup of the computer.
