Digital camera not showing up

[Nancy]

I'm having some problems with a Sony FD Mavica 100 digital camera. I've
never had a problem before today, but for some reason it won't show up in
Explorer when I plug the USB cable into the computer.

Any ideas what the problem might be? I've tried it on another desk top, and
it didn't work, but on a laptop, it did. All three machines are using XP w
SP2. I've tried everything I can think of, but the darn thing just remains
invisible. I don't get a wizard or anything. I can plug other things into
the USB port, and they work. But the camera won't show up!

It's very frustrating. I contacted Sony support, and they were no help.

Never mind. I figured it out. I had another (network) drive assigned to F:
and sony wanted to use that drive designation. I moved the network drive to
another letter, and left F open. Turned the camera back on, and voila! it
worked!

Do you plug the cable into the comp first then into the camera ?
