I am running on Windows Vista with 368GB of free space and a 2.20 GHZ processor! Please someone help me?

Hi, Thank you for your interest in Digital Blue. Please unplug the camera from your computer and follow the steps below.
Open the Start Menu > All Programs > Accessories. Right-click on 'Command Prompt' and select "Run As Administrator...".
This will bring up a window saying 'Windows needs your permission to continue', please click on the 'Continue' button.
When the DOS window opens, type in (without the quotes): 'cd c:\windows\system32'
The above should change the command prompt to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32:.
Now, type in (without the quotes): 'regsvr32 vbscript.dll' (dll = dynamic link library)
You should see a window pop up stating 'DllRegisterServer in vbscript.dll succeeded.'
Please insert the software CD with version 2.2.0 into your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
This will bring up the auto-play for the install, please follow the prompts to go through the installation.
The install consists of three different software packages, you should see the Pix 2.2, Pix Loader or Pix Micro Downloader, and the DB CIF Cam being installed.
If you receive an error after the Pix 2.2 install, you will need to download the drivers and Downloader program from our website at http://digiblue.com/customer-service/downloads/index.html You will need to select the 'Disney Pix Micro Downloader' and 'Disney Pix Micro Drivers for WIN Vista'.
Once you have installed the drivers and downloader program you will be asked to restart your computer. After the computer has been restarted, plug the camera into the USB port and look to see that the computer says the drivers have been installed.
Open the Pix Loader or Disney Pix Micro Downloader from your Desktop or from the All Programs list and click on the Download button. If you have a 'Pixel Up' window pop up, click OK, and wait for the download to finish. A 'Delete' button will come up on the Downloader program which will indicate the download has been completed.
You can view the photos by going to 'My Pictures' > 'My Snapshots' or using the Pix 2.2 editing software.

You'll have to find a driver for your camera thats compatible with Vista, although I doubt there is one right now. However, you can transfer pics using this method: Right click START, select Explore. Once your camera is plugged in, it should be recognized by PC as either the name of your camera or USB Mass Storage. Just scroll down the left panel until you see it. Now click the (+) next to it to expand the folders. Find the folder that contains the pics and copy them and paste them in a folder on your PC. You can also delete pics from your camera the same way. The other alternative, if you are using an MMC card, is to use a smart card reader and plug that into your PC and the MMC card into the reader.
Hope that helps!

I never said it was compatible with Vista! I told you that I doubt there is a driver for Vista.
I showed you a method to transfer files without having to install the software.
