In Windows 7 you don’t need to install the 1394 driver it is already in built in Windows 7. Windows 7 contain complete support inbuilt for the IEEE 1394. For that there is no need to install any software from outside. And if you wise to install an adapter, you have to just plug it in to an available adapter jacket, after that Windows 7 will automatically install it completely. But if then also you are asked for driver then it might be different issue might be of some hardware.
