Scanner and Camera Wizard gremlins!

[Guest]

Have one PC with 3 users running XP Home. Under user "A" the S&C wizard works great when a compact flash card is inserted into the USB reader. However, signing on as user "B" or user "C" the S&C wizard will not start! User A and user B are both "Admin" users with full rights. I put a shortcut to the Win Scanner & Camera wizard on user B's desktop and tried to start it that way. Doesn't work ... Win says that there is no device and I should install one. That doesn't work

How can I get user B's Scanner & Camera wizard to start when a CF card is inserted? Thanks much, this is driving me crazy

Are you able to view the contents of the CF card at all with user "B" or
"C"? If not, have you tried logging in as user "B" or "C" and reinstalling
the CF card reader?

No I can't see the card with user "B" or "C", only with user "A". The reader is a USB plug and play and it does not come with any drivers or installation disk for Win XP. You just plug it in to the USB port. I've tried unplugging and re-plugging while logged on as "B", to no avail. Thanks.

That is your problem then. As user "B", can you try the following:

0. Plug in the USB card reader
1. Hit Start > hit run > type "devmgmt.msc" > hit Enter
2. In the Device Manager, select your computer name from the list
3. Hit Action > Scan for hardware changes
4. Insert a CF card into the reader

I found a fix!
1) Download the MS Powertool "Tweak UI
2) Install Tweak UI on each user's deskto
3) In Tweak UI select My Computer, Autoplay, Type, then check "Enable Autoplay for removable drives
This fixes the problem
Note: this must be run for each user.

Can you please tell me what the executable is for the scanner and camera wizard because I would also like to put an icon for it on
my desktop.

Thanks!
