Olympus Digital Camera

[Alfredo Magall?n Arbizu]

Hello,

I can't use the camera with Windows Vista.

When installing, the system finds the driver for the device but it fails in
the installation displaying the message "The .Inf file is missing a
section... It seems that the .INF file was designed for Windows 95....."
Is there any workaround for that?

Model is C-70 (C-7000)

Regards,
Alfredo

I got that same exact error when Vista tried to install my Motorola E398B
cellular phone. The response on the report, you need check the manufacturers
website for an updated driver or wait until after Vista is released.

The problem is that there was not specific driver for Windows XP, so I don't
think they are releasing it for Windows Vista.

And I don't understand why supposly there is a driver in windows for this
device but it does not work.

At least in previous betas, the camera worked as a usb storage device... Now
I can't even access the files in it.

Regards,
Alfredo

Contact Olympus about Vista support and file a report using the appropriate
links available in the Feedback link on your desktop, at least make them
aware of it.

I looked for your camera on the Internet, and if I got the right one you
should be using xD Cards to store your photo. So there's no motivation
to get mad about camera drivers, when you can buy for few dollars/euros
a universal or xD-card reader. Just plug it in any USB port, and you'll
be fine.

When the final release of XP came out Olympus and Microsoft could not come to
an agreement so Microsoft took out a couple of "%" in the INF files that made
XP recognize the Olympus Camera. In the beta versions of XP the Olympus
worked fine and was recognized by the software, but in the final release no
go. One could go into the srusbud inf file and add the "%'s" and the camera
would work. You cannot do this in Vista unfortunately. I have tried for
hours to get my camera to work and it just will not recognize the edited
files. This is a real bummner but hopefully Olympus will come up with the
correct files soon, but I wouldn't hold my breath too long!

I wonder what they changed? I just tried my old olympus c-3020, plugged into
the usb port, and had no trouble accessing/editing the photos.
