"old" software won't load

I have Nikon camera software that won't load onto my brand new Gateway loaded
with Vista. Is it possible that Vista wont read old software??

Have you looked for a vista patch for your camerasoftware?

You'll need to get an update from Nikon

Chances are that you will need to contact Nikon for an updated version of
the software.

Having said that, what does the software do? If it's just for downloading
images from the camera, then Vista should be able to handle that itself. You
may need to change the USB communications mode (I did on my Canon EOS 350D),
and then Vista will see it as a camera, and offer to download the images.

I haven't tried this with Vista yet (I have RC1) but when you plug in your
camera using a USB cable, it should appear as a USB 'drive', and you can
copy and paste the images from your camera to your hard drive.

Where I worked we had a Sony digital movie cam, and the software that came
with it was HORRIBLE. So, I would just copy and paste the files and work
on them with other programs.

I really like the Nikon software. In the short term, my laptop has a card
reader. I tried it and Vista worked fine. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm new here and to Vista. I will look for
the patch and updates and hopefully get a better result.
