The DV cable has a fire wire plug on the other end? do you have the software to play the video once its downloaded.
I'm not sure, but I don't think you need software for the fire wire card.

im starting to think it hasnt picked up cos theres drivers needed for the new pci card i put in
play the video on the camera with it all plugged in, then it should pick it up!! Well, worth a go, thats what I do on mine!!

Yes, the camera has to be in play mode, before the PC will recognize it. Then click on START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>CAMERAS/SCANNERS and tyou should see your camera listed
