Scanner and camera wizard

[Rose Timmons]

Help if you can. I have a Sony card reader and for some
reason the card reader will no longer activate the
Scanner and Camera Wizard to help transfer the photos to
the computer. Why would this stop recently?

This computer frustrates me.

Have you made any changes to your system (such as
installing new programs or operating system updates)? Try
going to the manufacturer's website to see if there is an
updated driver or software patch for your card reader. If
you have made no changes to your system and can find no
software updates, it is of course possible that the card
reader has gone bad. You may want to test it on a
friend's computer.

Have you tried accessing the card from Windows Explorer?

To those of you who have lost the use of the Camera Wizard I have confirmed
that there is a conflict between Real Player 10 and the Wizard preventing the
Wizard from running. However, I have found the cause and have a solution.

There is an incompatability between the Wizard and the file REALSCHED.EXE,
which runs on startup. Disable it with the Task Manager and the functionality
of the Wizard is restored. You can permanently disable REALSCHED from running
on startup using MSCONFIG. However, it will become active again any time Real
Player is started. But it is definitely NOT necessary to uninstall Real
Player to mitigate the conflict and get the Wizard working again.

I have confirmed that this file is the cause of the problem, but have no
idea just what purpose it serves other than taking up memory. It schedules
something or other. Perhaps it is the source of those %$#@@#$$# Real Player
pop-up messages!
