Capture worked perfectly before, but now causes FCE to quit.

Question

Suddenly now, using the "Capture" command causes FCE to quit completely, without even the message "The application..." appearing.
Up until now, my setup worked fine, and I was able to capture perfectly with this setup:
OS X 10.3.4
QuickTime 6.?
Final Cut Express 2.0.3
Sony DV camera in one FireWire port,
External HD in other port (turned off)
For two years, the above setup worked perfectly and I was able to capture DV from the camera with no trouble.
I recently upgraded the system software and now I am using:
OS X 10.3.9
QuickTime 7.1.3
Final Cut Express 2.0.3
Sony DV camera in one FireWire port,
External HD in other port (turned off)
I also recently added AT&T/Yahoo DSL service, but that is on the Ethernet port so I don't see how that could affect the FireWire port or Final Cut Express. The camera and hard drive have not changed. All that has changed is upgrading to OSX 10.3.9 and upgrading QuickTime to 7.1.3. Now, when I attempt to capture, Final Cut Express simply quits without any messages at all. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I think you may have lost the ability to capture because of updating your software. Try what the above link instructs, then report back.
