Hi there!
I have a digital camera (olympus C-3000zoom) and used to download pictures over USB using olympus' software camedia 2.5.
Now I have WinXPpro and experience all kind of probs w/ that software, including closing when I want to download pics. :eek:

Have noticed that Camedia 3.0 is available on olympus' website, so I installed it. Now, the program says it can't communicate with my camera (check your connection cables, blablabla...).

I use a Kodak digicam at home and can see the pics from windows explorer when connecting the camera to the USB port, allowing me to copy them to the hard drive (just like if the camera was a memory stick). That'd be perfect (don't necessarily need the picture processing stuff from the software).

Anyone knows a solution for me?

Tks a lot
Fred

you should be able to simply view the images in Explorer (ala Kodak) ? does your camera not show up as a drive in 'My Computer' ?

no, my camera is too old for that.

solved the pb though: the software i installed was not the right one. installing camedia 4.0 (not available on olympus homepage) fixed it.
