- PC: Lenova T41 OS: XP Pro laptop has no SD port so my only options are to use a USB cable. the pics do show up on the camera There is no software. The cd that came with the camera mentioend that on MS 2000 or new a driver is not needed. The driver is only for windows 98 and ME (I think). The camera does have a slot for a memory card but he isn't using one - yet.

What operating system on the laptop? Did the camera come with any software? Does it have a removable memory card and have you tried plugging directly into the laptop(if it has a sd port)? Do the pics show as being in the camera?

Please install required software from the CD which you must have got with the camera package.

Software and drivers are very important on a computer to recognize a hardware.

All the best.

- You are right, it must not need drivers for XP, but drivers might help your computer recognize the camera.

Install the software and then try connecting the camera to laptop.
