Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50

When I try to put pictures on my computer a message pops up saying "An error has occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly." I have been using the Cyber-shot Viewer program for a few years, this just recently happened, I tried uninstalling and re-installing the program but it didn't do anything, still have the same problem...What Do I Do??? :(

I actually htink the problem is with your camera.

There might be a problem with the communication between the camera and your computer`s usb port.

Check if the camera connects to a friend`s PC. If it does, you need to take the camera in for service.

9 times out of 10 I have found a shorted fuse on the main baord to the usb port. This should be a inexpensive repair, unless you need to replace the main baord. In which case first determine the value of the old camera versus a new model.

Good luck.

Sony dsc-w50

If you have a recent operating system, there's a possibility it will recognise the camera if youjust plug it in. If it does recognise it, it will install the correct driver and run a wizard to help you get the pictures on your computer.
