Is the connection USB, what size connectors? Does the
camera have fresh batteries installed? Did you turn it to
the correct setting for downloading pictures? Did you look
at MY COMPUTER to see if the camera shows up as a drive?
| Hello and HELP!
| I am trying to connect my digital camera to my computer (XP Pro). The computer can find the new hardware, but on my
camera it shows "MSDC" on the display, and I cant see the
camera anywhere on my computer. I downloaded a MSDC driver
(I guess) but still nothing is working. I tried the same on
my notebook, and everything works fine. Any ideas anyone?
| Tnx in advance.

It would be nice to know what camera it is too. I have heard that Kodak
can be awkward. My oldish Olympus showed up first go...
Moonchild, did you look in 'my computer'? My camera shows as an extra
drive in there.

That answers my question... and also shows I am still half asleep.
If you have no joy here try rec.photo.digital but make sure you tell them which camera it is too.
