Go to your "View Network connections" in My Network and check that the card is not disabled, you right mouse click the Firewire icon to change the status.

so there is a new issue ,

so i did format to the computer , the card where idntinfy ,
when i did the sp2 update , he disapear....

what can i do?

Reinstall the card
However, before you blame the card
Not recognising the camrcorder may be a camcorder or firewire cable problem
AFAIK, a few Panasonics had this problem for which ther is a fix from microsofts site but if your PC sees the card and says it is working well.. look at the firewire cable, and settings in the camcorder itself

how can i reinstall the card , he dosent have any install....he install from the xp drivers ...

i just dont understad it , how it shold it be , those there is an install for the card those it work in the system like lan card....

I meant, remove the card, then resite it ( in its PC slot) so that windows recognises it
If not use system restore to remove the updates to allow the PC back to its previous state ( when the card was recognised)
However I still feel there may be the need to check the camcorder on another PC to see if its cable or camcorder itself are the problem, not the firewire card

good news i think...
i do had new hardwere , 1394 , and it apper agein on the network connetion...with in status connected....

what next??shold i connect also the usb cable to the camera??

NO
you need a firewire cable which you should connect to the computer first
