We have pictures on our digital camera.. but the problem is our CD Rom is not working.. what am i going to do now? is there a program that i can download so i can upload my pictures? thanks

Most brands of cameras deliver a CD with the camera, containing software, needed to backup, transfer and work with the pictures shot, on a computer.
If you lost the CD, or just don't know where it is right now, you can go to the site of your camera brand and try to download the software you need. For that look under support.
If your camera is old, and the brand does not exist anymore, try a freeware picture transfer / editing software pack. Like Gimp or Adobe Photoshop elements.

try the following
Turn ON the camera
1.- Go to Control panel -- Systems --
In device manager , see if they are a Yellow mark near the device (your camera)

select the yellow mark and rigth click --Uninstall
restart your PC

Your PC must recognized automatically your camera.
If you show the camera
Connect to another USB Port

1. Open a program called"Camera Assistant." This is a Toshiba-supported computr program designed specifically for people with cameras built into their laptops.You can find this by clicking on the "Start" menu and then navigatingto the "Programs" sub-menu. 2. Press the"Picture" button in the "Camera Assistant" program windowto take a picture using your built-in camera. This will take one stillphotograph for every time you click the button. The image you are taking willappear on the right side of the main program window. 3. Press the"Video" button in the "Camera Asst" program window tobegin recording video using your built-in camera. This will record video untilyou press the "Stop" button. The video you are recording will appearon the right side of the main program window. 4. If you can't open"Camera Assistant," reinstall your drivers. Though the camera on aToshiba laptop is designed to work right out of the box, if it doesn't you mayneed to reinstall the driver that makes it work. Look for the CD labeled"Drivers and Software" that came packaged into the box with yourToshiba laptop. Pop it in your laptop's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and install the"Digital Camera" driver contained on the disc.

I do not believe that cd-rom has anything to do with reading an SD card at all. I think if I remember correctly it is a photo album type program and I thought it stinks. Your best bet is getting an SD card reader which some are very cheap on e-bay and fit into a usb slot. You place the card into the reader and it will download your picture files taken with the 80. Your windows program picture viewer or similar should be able to show your pictures on your computer. I personally took out the cd-rom panasonic program and use windows picture viewer or similar

Buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pictures to a folder you create on your desktop.

The USB cable can be gotten at any camera store. There is nothing on the CDROM that you need to operate your camera. Most software supplied by manufactures are imaging programs you can use to modify your pictures. Better programs like Google Picaso are free to download.

camera should work with the computer without any extra programs aslong as you have windows 2000, xp or vista. it should show up in my computer as a removeable storage device and disappear if unplugged and reappear when replugged, pictures should be in side that folder.

If your computer is operating with WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS 98, or WINDOWS NT 4.0 Systems, this CD contains software that automatically launches when you insert the CD. Getting Started:
Insert your Picture CD disc and wait for the software to load (it could take as long as 5 minutes, depending on your machine configuration, CD drive speed, and the number of images on the Picture CD).
Note: This loading process installs some Picture CD program files onto your hard drive. The KODAK Picture CD installer walks you through the steps. The final step may be to restart your computer. If so, be sure to restart to complete the installation.
After your computer has rebooted:

1. Eject the Picture CD and re-insert it into the CD drive.
   The program should launch automatically.
   
2. Click the magazine cover to turn to the Contents Page.
   
3. Follow the links to read and do more with your digital photos.
   

If nothing happens after waiting for the Auto Play, you may need to manually start the Auto Play program. (Auto Play is a program that starts up the CD installation process the first time you use the CD.)
To manually start Auto Play:

1. Right-click the My Computer icon.
   
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
   
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
   
4. Click the CD-ROM drive icon; click the "+" to view the CD-ROM drive information.
   
5. Double-click the CD-ROM driver icon.
   
6. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
   
7. Click Settings.
   
8. Check Auto insert notification and click OK.
   

Note: This enables all CDs to automatically run any Auto Play software.
