What about trying the software that came with the camera?

161378 2003-07-20 03:47:00 The camera has a USB connection, and after loading the supplied software, the PC will recognise it and you will be able to download images.

Here's what I mean.

Photo Editing Software Included

The photo editing software included lets you turn your home computer into a virtual photo studio:

ArcSoft PhotoBase: Transfer images from an SD Memory Card to a PC and display them in a list.

ArcSoft PhotoImpression: Adjust colors and process images to create calendars, cards, etc.

ArcSoft Panorama Maker: Merge separate photos to create a single image.

ArcSoft PhotoPrinter Pro: Select numerous photos to print together as one group.

SD Viewer for DSC: Makes it easy to check image data on an SD Memory Card. Use it to create slide shows and save them on an SD Memory Card

161379 2003-07-20 04:26:00 Hi Billy T,

I have a Panasonic Lumix Digital Still Camera (model no. DCM-LC20A) using Win XP home. It didn't come with any editing software I didn't install the drivers that came with it as Windows just recognised it as a usb drive and away I went. No problems so far?

161380 2003-07-20 05:29:00 That's odd Promethius, as the camera is supposed to come with a software package and every digital I have bought has come with a set of software tools . However, I think the key thing here is that your camera still came with software .

I don't think the camera needs drivers as such, but the computer may need something to help it recognise the camera . Alternatively, perhaps Al should look for the camera in explorer as I agree that it should show as another drive .

Cheers
