Computer cant find USB drivers for Nikon d40

When I attach my Nikon D40 camera to the comnputer it says it is installing software for the camera. Then it says it cant find the software. I am at a loss as to how to fix this. It is looking for the USB driver for the D40.

    What type of computer and operating system? Windows XP should detect this without any additional drivers needed.

    Did you plug the camera in before using mfr CD to install software and drivers? if so, disable the device (device manager) and then remove it (add/remove hardware - control panel). Follow all the instructions (either install manual or on the instal CD) in sequence before plugging the camera in again.

I had the same problem with my D40x - I changed my USB cable to a much more robust one and all my problems went away.
You shouldn't need a driver, most OS's will recognise it as an imaging device.

It might have just happend due to recent update of your system

but before that go to the device manager , locate other devices and right click on it and click on update drivers, restart the system, if that works its fine else go on to the following link and download the latest version of the Nikon Software

I am unable to upload my pictures to my computer. We recently had several viruses on our computer so a lot of things got cleared off in the process of fixing it. Now I cant upload my pics from my camera.

Reinstall the Nikon software and drivers. If those were removed in the de-virusing of your computer that will fix the problem. If not make sure the USB ports are installed and configured.
