Cant get programe disc to load

What happens if you just bring up Nikon Transfer or whatever program you want to use to download your photos?

You might want to consider NOT connecting the camera to the 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 Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.

You have to open the scanning place the picture face down, and plress SCAN. This will bring on the Dell All-In-One Center. Click Preview Now and adjust the dotted line aroung your picture. On send scanned image to drop down menu select the program you want to use for the picture. If the program you want to use is not listed, select Search for more... in the drop-down menu. On the next screen, click Add to locate and add your program to the list. Hit Scan Now and you're done.

I just got one as a gift. Unfortunatey it is junk. A very poor camera attached to an OK bincular.

When the device plugged into the computer a TWAIN driver should load. Mine loads the driver about one out every of 5 or 6 tries. Any program capable of importing pictures from a TWAIN device should thenbe able to import the pictures. I have used Corel Paint Shop Pro.

maybe hard drive has just come loose, look underneath near drive, you will see hard drive "Bay" take screw out, or maybe a slid lock anyway, do whatever and slide out drive, now carefully, push back in, maybe that will fix. Else maybe the fall killed the drive, that happens in situations like you describe.

Press "C" while cd is loading.

by screen saver, Im assuming you mean the desktop wallpaper. (screen saver is the program that comes up and shows pictures moving around, or stars flying by, or pictures of pipes building some over-rebuilt plumbing in outer space). Whats going on is, your Windows shell (Explorer.exe) is not loading. that is almost ALWAYS caused by a virus. If you cannot load in safe mode, you may not be able to recover that system without a professional. If there is nothing of major importance on that drive, I suggest you gather your OS discs and your drivers and application discs and reformat and reload.Based on what you describe, your explorer cannot load and cannot process because of an infected file being loaded during startup.

It's probably because Picasa 3 is not your default import program for photos. You can fix this by:

In Windows XP, your default import setting must be adjusted on a device by device basis:
* Connect the import device (your camera or card reader) to your computer.
* Double-click My Computer on your computer desktop.
* Right-click the listing of your import device.
* Select Properties.
* Click the Autoplay tab.
* Select 'Pictures' from the content drop-down menu.
* Choose from two possible actions:
* Select an action to perform: Select an application to handle import by default each time photos are detected on the specific piece of hardware.
* Prompt me each time to choose an action: Choose an import application each time you attach your hardware.
* Click Apply.
* Click OK.

Windows Vista

Windows Vista allows you to set a global import preference for all photo or videos files.
* Click Start > Control Panel.
* Select Autoplay.
* Under 'Picture' or 'Video,' select your default import program.
* Click Save.

If your computer is operating with WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS 98, or WINDOWS NT 4.0 Systems, this CD contains software that automatically launches when you insert the CD. Getting Started:
Insert your Picture CD disc and wait for the software to load (it could take as long as 5 minutes, depending on your machine configuration, CD drive speed, and the number of images on the Picture CD).
Note: This loading process installs some Picture CD program files onto your hard drive. The KODAK Picture CD installer walks you through the steps. The final step may be to restart your computer. If so, be sure to restart to complete the installation.
After your computer has rebooted:

1. Eject the Picture CD and re-insert it into the CD drive.
   The program should launch automatically.
   
2. Click the magazine cover to turn to the Contents Page.
   
3. Follow the links to read and do more with your digital photos.
   

If nothing happens after waiting for the Auto Play, you may need to manually start the Auto Play program. (Auto Play is a program that starts up the CD installation process the first time you use the CD.)
To manually start Auto Play:

1. Right-click the My Computer icon.
   
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
   
3. Click the Device Manager tab.
   
4. Click the CD-ROM drive icon; click the "+" to view the CD-ROM drive information.
   
5. Double-click the CD-ROM driver icon.
   
6. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
   
7. Click Settings.
   
8. Check Auto insert notification and click OK.
   

Note: This enables all CDs to automatically run any Auto Play software.

is there a import menu in software to open first to import? try to uninstall software and hook camera up generic to usb and power on camera in playback and see if you can import into my pictures first-then import them into fuji program after reinstalling

Most likely a computer problem, requiring a computer person to investigate. Good idea to bring camera to someone else's computer to try a USB plug-in to read pictures/video. That would identify if problem is Camera or computer. I have no problems with mine on several computers tried. Camers appears like a memory key in 'My_Computer' called 'E:' .
all luck, G-M
