Question about Creative Labs PC-Cam 300 Digital Camera

PC-Cam 300 no longer functions as a digital camera

Recently, I tried to take pictures with my PC-Cam 300, but it doesn't function as a digital camera anymore; it only seems to work when connected to the computer. I've checked the batteries, and they're fine. What else could possibly be wrong?

Let's do a hardware reset on the player: Press Snapshot button and Operational mode button simultaneously for more than two seconds this will delete all the files from the camera. A beep sound is heard when the memory is cleared and LCD displays zero. This may get the camera working again.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your 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 any photo cataloging program.

Camera will not stay charged ican take a few pictures before camera shuts down

Hard to say without more information, however, what first comes to mind is battery age. Rechargeable (assuming this is what you have) have a finite life (anywhere from months to 1+ years). The battery may no longer be holding much of a charge, also, the charger may no longer be functioning properly.
