Sometimes , when a Computer's OS is upgraded, form the original OS, you will find "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager. "Coprocessor" is common. Usually it's the Card Reader, try installing the driver for the Card Reader, Windows 7 32 or 64bit what ever OS Windows 8 is. You can find the drivers here, choose your OS 32 or 64bit, try Driver-Storage, Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader, you must change compatibility of the Win 7 driver: Card Reader driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3927357 Change driver compatibility: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6832-compatibility-mode-use-windows-8-a.html

I am not an expert user so I don't know much about this but needing to contact a forum to solve a problem I learned the Java programme and Java Script that causes problems when it doesn't work are two different things.

Java Script, they told me, is not a standalone programme but a part of the Windows operating system. I can't remember the details but I had to open the control panel and somewhere in there had to "enable script".

I hope this helps.

the printer will need to be installed in compatibility mode....un-install the printer from control panel.
pain in the **** i know, but least you'll know from now on, how to install older programs & drivers in to windows 7....
if your installing from a disk, then put the disk in, then when the auto run box comes up, close it...
open computer instead from the start menu.
right click on the cd drive with the disk in, & select open.
drag & drop the contents of the disk on to your desktop....make a new folder to put it all in, if you need to.
then once it's copied across, right click on the install/application icon.
from the top of the menu click "check compatibility" if you dont see it,click off it & then try right clicking on it again untill you see it.
windows will scan & set itself to the right settings for that program.
then click try recommended settings.....followed by START PROGRAM.
if it all installs ok click next then click YES KEEP THESE SETTING FOR THIS PROGRAM NEXT TIME.
then go to the printers web site & update it with the latest software,thats if windows doesn't do it for you.....TIP:(white flag @ bottom right of screen)
do this with all older software.....windows 7 is **** hot when it comes to running older programs, im using a windows 98 program call photo express on mine...no problem.

GOOD LOOK MATE.

If you have broadband, go to the Olympus website and download the latest version of the software and drivers.

If you still have the problem, there are other possibilities.
1 - You need to install while logged in as an administrator.
2 - You need to install in compatibility mode. To do compatibility mode, go to the setup or install file on the disk. Right click on it, and select Properties. Under Compatibility, set compatibility to an older version of Windows.

If none of that works, let me know and I'll dig further.
