Software wont work

get the manual and drivers at http://manualfox.com/link/vivitar.htm

I wish you people that have no clue would refrain from answering questions. After several failed recommendation from tech support - I finally pieced together a working combo. You need both a camera driver and their software to get to your pictures. Go to www.Sakar.com and then pull up the catalogue of digital cameras. Load the driver for model 25290. Then go to http://downloads.sakarhelp.com/camerafrontend/Photags_Express.zip and load the software. Install everything first - then plug in your camera. Of course this info is too late for anybody who did not just buy the camera - because once the batteries go dead or you change them - your pictures are gone - what a stupid concept. Remember kindly...

This is not free, but they can get you every Vivitar driver

Ask at manualfox.com for the needed Vivitar Vivicam driver.

Never buy vivitar - you are wasting your money!!

Remove all Camera Software.
Assuming you have a Windows Computer when the camera is plugged in and in the upload mode
The computer will recognise it as a new device in My Computer.

i can`t down the sofewear as the cd brocken

I have the same problem. And now it doesn't appear compatible with Windows XP.
I think they are a rip off

my vivitar 5199 is indicating busy, how can i rectify it.

The software you have should be fine.

The device driver still works with Windows XP. The only reason this comes up is because Vivitar didn't send the driver to Windows to be "signed off". Vivitar still did their tests and made sure it works. So you can pretty well ignore the warning.

If you say Yes, to continue, you can still use the camera, or can't you? Or, I guess you really don't have the drivers.

Visit this link and do the free registration and you can get the drivers. Enjoy your picture taking.
