How can I download pictures?
Two ways - either attach the camera to a spare USB port on the computer with the supplied lead, and treat the camera as a satellite drive, or else remove media device and use a separate card reader to copy the images to the computer.
Device not ready
CNET's review states that this camera connects to USB, but no mention is made of it being compatible with USB2. Theoretically it should be compatible since USB2 ports are supposed to be backwards compatible with USB 1.1. Yet I have other USB 1.1 devices which will cause "device not ready" error messages when I try to connect them to a USB2 port. Interestingly, the CNET article doesn't list Windows XP as a compatible OS. Another person posted that he received the same error message when trying to connect his camera to his 64-bit XP computer.
In any event, Largan's web site doesn't make any mention of them producing complete cameras -- only camera components. Perhaps their foray into the digital camera market was less than successful.
So, while this isn't truly a solution post, perhaps it may point you in the right direction as to possible causes of the device not ready error message.
My driver.
Reload the drivers. I had the same problem. I had to keep reloading because windows sucks now that everything is automatic and you have to SPECIALIZE in windows. I have the original CD and the drivers.

How to delete the pictures on my chameleon xp
Like an external hard-drive, when you either plug in your camera or insert the memory card into your computer, it will show up as a hard-drive or external device. if you go to 'my computer' in windows, or on the desktop in mac, you will be able to see the icon that represents said device. open the folder representing the device and navigate through the file until you find the directory where your photos are stored. usually it says 'dcim' or something like that. once you locate your photos, simply delete the ones you want to get rid of and copy/or cut and paste the ones you want to keep. from there you can free up some room or completely wipe out your storage for your camera. Bam, spagettios.
Why won't the camera download
Try NOT using a driver.
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, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).
