Release Notes
2.1
Microsoft IEEE1394 Hotfix
On some computers with Windows XP SP2 or Windows XP SP3 it has been observed that Windows does not
recognize the detach of IEEE1394b devices, like IFNs or RPNs. In the error case, the Device Manager of Win-
dows still shows the detached devices as to-be-present and accordingly also
X-Tools
can not recognize the
detach.
In order to solve this issue, Microsoft provides an according hotfix (958347). After the hotfix has been installed,
detaching of IEEE1394b devices is recognized properly again. The hotfixes for the following operating systems
are being delivered together with
X-Tools
(see the “Hotfixes” subdirectory of the installation media):
•
Microsoft Windows XP SP3, English, x86
•
Microsoft Windows XP SP3, German, x86
In case you are using another operating system or another language, please download the according version of
the hotfix from Microsoft directly:

Install this hotfix in case your computer does not recognize the detach of IEEE1394b devices correctly.
