If you have a card reader, take the card out of the camera and use the card reader. (Be careful not to set the switch to the write protection side if you want to delete any pictures.)

Make sure that your OS has the drivers for the camera. (The correct driver is included with XP, Vista and Win7 above the Starter Edition.) You may want to try uninstalling the driver (with the camera not connected to the computer). Then connect the camera and let the driver reinstall.http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=DSCW180 has the details on the OS support.

If you still have a problem, get a card reader that supports Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro . If the card still doesn't work, it may have failed or the camera didn't correctly format and write to the card.

hopefully it can help..........

No connection between my z7u and my windows 7 computer!, how can i download the driver?

when you bought the camera,is the seller give you the driver CD?
normally,windows 7 doesn't need any driver to connect a device, there's might be an error when the windows installed the driver
I recomend you to go to the Device Manager,uninstall the current driver,and try to connect your camera again,the windows will re-install the driver automatically
And if you can't find the driver on the internet,you can go to the shop and ask for the driver CD
If those doesn't fix your problem,give me the detail series of your camera and i'll search the internet for it :-)

Sony DSC-P92 driver needed

You neglected to specify the operating system for which you want the driver. Sony has drivers from some operating systems here.
You don't need a driver in order to download photos from the camera to a computer so you can burn them onto a CD.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa.

Sigma 4in1 card reader not working

Try a different / all other USB ports on the computer, and if possible, a different computer if no USB port on your computer works with it. If it still doesn't see the drive, the drive is probably not working. If it does see the device, but is asking for drivers, provide a disk with drivers that came with the reader - or check the Sigma web site for drivers that work with you OS (Windows, Mac, etc.), download and install / extract.

If it sees the device, but doesn't see the memory card, the reader may not recognize the newer, larger capacity memory cards. SD cards are smaller than 4GB in capacity, and SDHC cards are 4GB and larger. Make sure that if you're trying to read an SDHC card that the reader SPECIFICALLY says it works with SDHC cards. Most SD readers can NOT be upgraded with firmware to be able to read SDHC cards - a new SDHC reader is required.

Good luck!

Don't use any software or drivers.
Use a card reader.
Remove the card from the camera put it in the card reader, and load all the files to your folder you want on your computer.

Sony doesn't have Win2000 drivers for this model. You might want to consider NOT using a driver.
