Me again with another problem.
I’ve tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers. I’ve tried several usb ports, but if by chance it recognizes the camera (by asking which program to import pictures to), it crashes. “The program isn’t responding” error comes up.
If I try to import directly from a program (ie. photoshop), it gives an error of “no camera found.”
Any ideas?
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
assuming its a problem only on that one comp - reinstall windows. or spend $15 or so and buy a CF card reader that plugs into the USB slot. you can download your pics faster and easier that way.
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
Reboot the computer.
Ditto on the card reader. On eCost you may be able to pick on up for cheaper than $15.
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
TofiBaba, I tried rebooting the computer already. Several times, that is.
Card reader, eh? I'll look into that, but that doesn't tell me why it stopped working in the first place. :(
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
hmmm ... try this ... unistall the program, remove registry entries if you can [as might contain some settings] and then restart the PC. Once you've restarted, reinstall the program. Still if it gives a problem, install it on another PC and verify if it works. If it doesn't then if could be a faulty hardware.
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
have you tried using another USB device (printer e.g) on those USB ports? and do they work fine? changed the USB cable?
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
nos, I tried that too. It can't be a faulty hardware. It connected fine to my mac at work.
5abi, yep, I plugged in my usb wireless adapter in that very same port and it worked.
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC
if the problem is intermittent then it could be either a faulty port or faulty cable. Try using another cable and yes do test other devices to see if the port is ok.
Uninstall the TWAIN drivers and reinstall the latest V6.0.0 drivers from canon canada's website.. try and try again...

^^ …and then stop. There’s no use being a damn fool about it 
Re: Stupid Digital camera won’t connect to PC
Windows 2000 heh.. not so USB friendly OS.
Have you no XP? :halo:
The USB port you said, did you try connecting some other USB device on it? Check if that works.
Re: Stupid Digital camera won’t connect to PC
PA, I was able to connect to another computer using the same cable. And I was able to connect another usb device in the very same port in my own computer. Dumb computers. 
Gizzy, no xp, please. 
My sis has xp on her’s, but I just don’t like it.
ps. TofiBaba, PA is no fool. 
Re: Stupid Digital camera won't connect to PC

you disable the luna and stuff on it, make it look like 2000...
Re: Stupid Digital camera won’t connect to PC

Re: Stupid Digital camera won’t connect to PC
Cheap cameras and cheap PCs … spend some money lady. 
Re: Stupid Digital camera won’t connect to PC
hmm then it’s definitely the drivers messing it up.. uninstall them.. balkay ‘scratch’ them off the hard drive..

P.S. i think TofiBaba made a joke ..or tried.. nerd humor only goes that far.. all we’ll (beat that ahmadjee u ex-southerner you) should know
