| 187152 | 2003-10-28 03:55:00 | I bought a Canon IXUS 400 recently and am having troubles hooking it up to my PC. I have installed the software off the CD following the instructions but when I plug the camera in it is detected by Windows (I have XP) as an unidentified USB device. The PC is oldish (three years old) and didn't have a USB port but I bought and installed a USB card from Dick Smith. I have tested the USB port with other devices and they work OK and the camera is detected fine by my work PC but obviously I want it to work with my home PC. Any suggestions that don't involve a new PC?? |

| 187155 | 2003-10-28 22:52:00 | The card is USB 1. The camera is detected sweet as by two other PCs running Win XP Pro with built in USB but not my home one with the add-on card... | fallout_boy (4788) | ||
| 187156 | 2003-10-29 03:04:00 | I wonder if it's the card. Neither the 2 port or 4 port USB 1 cards DSE list (XH6646 and XH6667) have Windows XP support mentioned. :-( They have a $20 off special on the XH 6738 (USB 2) 4 port card ... which does mention XP support. I'd suggest seeing if you can change your card ... it doesn't work for what you want ... and even if you pay the $20 difference if you got an XH6646 it would be a solution. I don't know if they'd give you the $20 difference with an XH6667. :D |

| 187157 | 2003-10-29 03:42:00 | Give it a long time to detect. I bought one of their 2 port cards for a system running W98se & MMX 233, only 32mb of mem - this was for a USB printer, and you could make, and drink a few cups of coffee before it was found. Bye |
