Hi, Try first disconnecting (unplug completely) computer from power outlet and usb from computer, wait ten minutes, then connect back power, and when Windows is started usb camera.
This will get rid of eventual problems with electrostatic charges on USB.
If the above did not work you may need to reinstall drivers, I will need details on your camera make and model in this case.

- Unfortunately Vivitar does not distribute anymore the
drivers/software for its old models. Alternative driver download sites do not have the download for your model.
Contact Vivitar here to get instructions on how to proceed.

- Try also removing batteries from camera for two minutes, in case camera just need a reset. If the camera is plug and play (does not need drivers) it may turn out it is a problem with Windows on this specific computer, in this case you will need to reinstall Windows.
