Installed PDR-M60 PDR-M60-01 .Hook up camera to usb port. Computerseems to recognise camera. can't download pics. get window saying doesn' see camera.

Most of the time, Windows update is at fault. Pros avoid this problem by using a card reader for downloading their pics.

Windows updates changes the registry and sometimes causes our "toys" to stop working. You can contact Microsoft and get instructions to re-write your registry(very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing) or, you can do what the pros do to avoid this very common problem....get a card reader!

You need a USB port on your computer. You don't say what computer you have, but most recent Windows PCs have USB ports. Some Macs may not have this port.

The USB lead for you camera should have come with the camera. The socket on the camera is a miniature version, and wont take a standard size USB plug. If you don't have this cable you can find one on Amazon by searching for "Olympus 8000 USB".

Using a USB lead, you shouldn't need a driver or other software. The computer can recognise the camera memory as a removable drive without actually recognising the camera as a camera. Try looking in "My Computer" for an extra drive (Under "Devices with Removable Storage") and opening that. There should be directories with picture files in them that you can drag to your desktop.

Many people find it more convenient to just take the memory card out of the camera and put it in a card reader, especially now that these readers are built into computers and printers. You can't get the pics from the camera's internal memory that way though.

Windows XP or later normally finds devices plugged into the usb port, cameras are often recognised as a
USB Mass Storage Device or sometimes as an extra hard drive.

Try connecting you camera to your PC, click on "My Computer" and see if a new drive has popped up. This is probably it, just click on the drive.

If that doesn't work, go the camera manufacturers website, look for and click on the "Support" option then Downloads. With luck you should be able to navigate your way the to drivers you require and then download and install them.

Vista is your problem. Solution...buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can send the pics to your photo editing software.

You may need to download drivers for your camera. If the camera included a CD, install the software on it.

If it did not come with a CD or you don't have one, you can download Canon's software via their website.

You may also need to use a different USB port, maybe one located on the back instead of on the front like you may be using.

If that does not work, please let me know.

Both the Canon XT 350D and the XTi 400D are recognized by any PC with XP windows operative system. It seems you have to check your USB port or USB cable used to connect your cameras to the PC. Sometimes, the PC does not recognize a specific device connected to an USB port. Yopu can get into the System -device manager screen, and uninstall the USB port, and run the utility to recognize changes in the device manager. This will install the USB port driver again, and if it is a software issue the reason of the problem, then it will be fixed.

Also, you can check your cameras and USB cable in a different PC so you can confirm if they both work has should be.

Regards,

Normal 0 Try disconnecting the Camera from the USB port and reinstall the CD or Downloaded software program. When the program asks you to connect the camera to the USB port, do so and it should work. Hope this helps. Bud

go to the link below for the driver, you dont need software as you can explore the camera in my computer and copy then paste the photos, but windows may come up with picture viewer when you connect the cam up to the pc
