Pentax option 430 camera problem

Hi. I have a problem with my computer recognising my pentax optio 430. it worked fine, but no longer. I've deleted and reinstalled the correct driver for the camera and the Device Manager trouble shooter says that everything is fine. I've tried the camera on a different computer and it's OK except that for both computers, in Windows Explorer the camera is recognised wrongly (labelled) as a Toshiba 256M which is my hard drive back-up that I use through the same USB. Any ideas? It's driving me nuts. thanks

I have had problems with my Pentax as well, it worked fine but when I tired to down load the pictures suddenly after reading justfine it indicated that the info could not be read....and I have not been able to use it well since. I did see the pictures, as did my husband on a computer at work. We are able to take pictures and have even had them printed to a disc which appeared fine at the photo lab but at home the pix are half gray. Photos appear to be fine on the camera but when trying to print or view nothing comes out.

Bassie - did you resolve this? My computer recognizes the camera just fine. I have photos on my card but when I try to download to my computer, I don't see any photos. I've emailed Pentax several times w/ no help to this problem. Do you have automatic MS updates set on your machine? What Virus protection do you have? I've run into problems w/ another program conflicting w/ virus protection software.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

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.

Pentax Optio 50 Digital Camara

Are you just plugging the camera straight into the computer? Does it come with software to install? Try plugging the camera in while the computer is off and then turn the computer on with the camera plugged in. Otherwise get a SD memory card reader that the SD card can plug directly  into and this connects straight to the computer.

Connecting OPtio S4i to PC

After formatting my PC to upgrade it I've been unable to install the USB driver software to save pictures from my Tentax OPtio S4i to my PC.

My computer isn't recognising my camera when I plug it into the USB port.

When I've tried to install the Driver using the disk I got with my camera, at the stage where it asks me to MODIFY REPAIR or REMOVE, the software I get the following showing up on display boxes:
