HEEELP please ?!!! (new digi.camera)
Can anyone please advise me on the the following problem.
We've just got a new Praktica-Pentacon DCZ 5.2 mega-pixel camera.
I've loaded the software disc, as per instructions, with no apparent
problems. It's loaded 2 "Ulead" progs (Ulead Photo Explorer 8.0 basic &
Ulead Video Studio 7.0 basic) ..... don't know if it has installed any
drivers
or software relating to the camera's operation.
I'm using Windows XP. When I connect the camera (as instructed) to the PC,
via the USB port lead, I get (on the camera screen) the message "connected
to
computer", once the camera is turned on. Everything looking good, 'TIL the
next step.
Here's where something is going wrong .......
A message appears on my desktop "Windows has detected a new USB hardware
storage device" ( my camera, obviously) .... but, when I click on the
message bubble
it turns-off & restarts the PC. Usually, when I click on similar message
bubbles, the
hardware device in question is then installed.
I've tried using other, different USB ports on my PC ... after UNinstalling
& re-installing
the software CD, to no avail. I really haven't got a clue what's going
wrong.
We have some pics. already now, on the camera, but cannot transfer them to
the PC ...
as the camera (once connected to the PC & turned on) keeps shutting down &
restarting
the PC.
Any advice / information GREATLY appreciated.
Many thanks in advance, for ANY positive feedback !
Cheers.
A.B.
