Consider NOT using the USB connection.

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.

The white balance is set to something other than "auto WB".

You'll need to go into the review mode, hit menu, and then in the first category (top menu), scroll down to protect, and then hit "function set" to turn it off.

No updates for Vista available for DSC-S30
You can see details on Sony Support, please check bottom of page.

As suggestion, You can use "memory card reader" to transfer pictures in PC.

I am sorry ..but no there gone!

Most Compact cameras come with a software disk that has the photo software pre-loaded. My experience is that once you have loaded the software and uploaded your pictures, you can then convert the file to XP, or better still, to Photoshop.

Hope this helps

I too have the same problem. But I have been able to use a MAC to download the photos which recognizes the camera. This is very frustrating for me!

According to Sony's own site (see link), the DSC-S30 is non-compatible. Operation with the Microsoft® Windows Vista operating system is not guaranteed.
It's up to you if you still want to try.

Couldn't find a driver for you, sorry.
Good Luck
