Default Transferring Pictures to my computer--need help


I have just purchased a new computer and am having trouble
with automatically transferring pictures via an auto
launch of the Scanner and Camera Wizard. My camera is
relatively new (6 months old) and this feature works with
my old PC running Windows XP Professional. I simply
connect the USB turn on the camera and the Wizard launches
asking what to do next, as it should.
My new PC is running Windows XP Home edition. From what I
can see all settings are the same, however, when I connect
the USB and turn on the camera, XP immediately
recognizes "Removable Drive G", but does not launch the
Wizard.
I can manually retrieve the pictures with no problem, but
it is far easier with the Wizard.

Any Ideas?

Thanks
Ron

See my post from yesterday.BELOW.....
I found the fix from a message back in March. Just go to
Start, then to Run and type in, regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
click OK. Must have a space between the ....32 shi....
This really works. Mine is back like new. This resets the
registry. I don't know if this affects any other things
in windows.

Good Luck
