226896 2004-04-03 09:56:00 Sorry, but Godfather's crystal ball is out on loan elsewhere so I have to ask: what version of Windows do you have?

Wouldn't hurt to tell us what camera and model it is too.

And he didnt give me the battreys either :)

Just a quick note here when installing "most" usb devices you install the software, power off the pc plug in device then power up (then if the microsoft gods are on your side) the os will detect the device.
I did say MOST

Are you setting the camera to the correct display/connect mode?

226900 2004-04-04 03:52:00 Many cameras have a mode setting which must be selected
for computer connection. Some don't. :D

Has it ever worked? Did you ever have the software installed before you lost the CD?
