Software won't install coby photo viewer key chain
Couldn't get the software to install, error- ''Can't find any photoviewer, or another program owns it. The program will exit!''. The manual claimed this is due to a lack of admin access (but my account is the admin account).Coby recommended ''playing'' around with it, didn't work. You get what you pay for...don't expect a lot and you will probably be happy.
what did you end up doing about it? what did you end up doing about it?

same exact problem. my solution was to re-plug in the device, select the usb option, then forward to the pics on the device. At that point, the usb device was recognized by XP and the device was installed on XP. After that, starting the application worked.

Re: software won't install coby photo viewer key chain
You need to make sure the usb cable is in all the way to the viewer. You have to push it hard. No silver showing. Always need the viewer plugged in first before starting the viewer program. After that it is pretty simple.
Re: software won't install coby photo viewer key chain
This is from Amazon.com. I tried and it worked. 1. Plug the PhotoViewer into a USB port to fully charge the battery.
2. Install the software from the CD.
3. When the PhotoViewer is fully charged, disconnect it from the USB port
4. Re-start the computer.
5. Plug the PhotoView into a USB port. The screen on the
PhotoViewer prompts for either USB charge or USB update. Select USB
update.
6. Run the program installed in step 2. It should now work.
Re: software won't install coby photo viewer key chain
See if your PhotoViewer.exe file is the following: 8/22/2007 4:55PM 316KB. If not, then try getting it off the Coby website. You'll need to have the software WINZIP to extract the files after downloading it. Also make sure when you first plug in the digital photo viewer that you select "USB Update" ("USB Charge" and "USB Update" are first shown on the digital photo viewer screen... that one got me!).
I finally got mines working! Good luck to you guys!
Re: software won't install coby photo viewer key chain
I too got the same error. I pretty combined all solutions above n did something n was able to work with it. let me summarise.
1) first mistake i did was i dint fully plug in the wire to the device. Once i did that correctly my system identified the usb.
2) I dint extract the zip files into a folder!
3) After this finally i used USB update option while transferin pics!
4) Used the instructions in Coby website manual to transfer files!
N yes it really is good...

uninstall photo viewer,then reboot your computer,install the cd with photoviewer on it,(for windows,not mac),next reboot your computer,now,connect your coby to the computer,wait until it is recognized,double click on the photoviewer icon on the desktop screen,let it load,
The message "No Photo Viewer Found, program termined" will happen unless you have the keychain plugged into the USB port in syncronization mode not charging mode. It's just saying it can't find a Photo Viewer plugged in to sync with. That should solve your problems. You can't update you image library unless it is plugged in
The error you describe, is also mentioned in the Setup Guide for the DP151.
When you connect the Key Chain to the USB port of your computer, on the Key Chain will prompt the message to select: USB charge or USB update.
For proper function of the Chain Key:
0) Before connecting the Chain Key, have the Photo Viewer software installed:
You need adminstrator rights to perform installation of programs.
Install the photo viewer from the CD or download this program
from the Coby support site:
> enter cobyusa.com in the address bar of internet explorer
> enter DP151 in the Product Search bar
now all support for the Chain Key will show
> run the DP151_PhotoViewer zip file directly or save the zip file onto your computer, unzip and run the setup.exe file later
1) Connect the Chain Key and Select USB update on the Chain Key.
Again, to be able to update, you need adminstrator rights.
The program is corrupt. Uninstall it, delete all remaining files and folders, run a registry cleaner, defragment, download a new installer and install it again but in a different location.
Or you could just install a much better photo viewer http://www.irfanview.com/
chyeck for the program in control panel if it is installed then check the installed program in all programs n then configure it using the recommende setting
Start from scratch, uninstall everything and pretend your installing for first time:
1. have keychian unconnected from usb 2. install software 3. DONT RUN SOFTWARE YET 4. connect keychain to usb 5. on keychain select: USB update 6. Run software 7. well-ah, intelligence > poorly organized device - enjoy everyone

You have to push the USB cable into the keychain until it pops. Push it in hard! I thought mine was all the way in because the keychain lit up, but it wasn't.
ya not comp with vista photo viewer is in xp ed not vista have u tryed the website see if they offer u a driver for vista yet dont use cd is your best bet to sp1 for vista come sout in june then most will work
Your computer will certainly have its own program for viewing photos. For example, if you are using Windows XP, you just right click on a photo file and choose "preview".
It can be difficult to find the photos on your computer if you have been using one of the silly organizers that come with cameras. You can search for a photo if you know its filename or for *.jpg to find all the photos on your hard drive.
