308507 2004-12-29 06:14:00 Do u unplug the cam when its not in use? Or does it stay plugged into the USB port all the time?? It'll say unknown maybe if it isnt plugged in. Until u plug it back in then the drivers should reinstall again from the hdd. And it should bring up image/imaging device. Speedy Gonzales (78)
