MS Camera Wizard

[Kim]

I have always been able to plug in my Fujifilm finepix
2650 camera and go to the Copy pictures to a folder on my
computer using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard. Now
when I click on this option nothing happens. The only
change that has happened to my computer is that my cable
company has used Ad aware and spy bot type programs to
clean my computer recently. There isn't anything listed
in my computer in the scanners and camera file. Where is
this wizard located and how do I get it to work again?

Different ways to try to repair the Autoplay window for downloading from
either a camera or card reader. Also the same procedure can be used for a CD
drive Autoplay.



Go from steps I to V, although step V may not be needed.

I. Connect your camera to your computer, power it on and make sure you have
pictures on your memory card. Make sure your batteries are good or better
yet, use your AC adapter if your camera came with one. If you are trying
with a card reader, just connect it with a memory card inserted and with
pictures on the memory card.

Click on My Computer and look under Device with Removable storage. Your
camera will be listed there and a drive letter will be assigned to it
(something like H, G, etc.) You will use this drive letter in a step below.
If you do not see your camera listed there you will need to repair your USB
connection or you are on a network and the network drive is Z and XP cannot
assign a drive letter to your camera so you will need to take care of this
first. The steps below will not work if XP cannot assign a drive letter for
your camera.

II. Click on Start, click on Run and type the following in the textbox:
REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL
and press Enter
Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI...
This will take a few seconds to run.

III. Go to the following site:
http://www.bigblackglasses.com/staff/downloads/autofix.exe

and download the autofix.exe file in one of your folder. Once done, double
click on this file. A window will open. Follow the directions on the screen.

Once done, turn off the camera and reboot.

IV. Power the camera on, wait 10-15 seconds for XP to recognize it, you
should hear some beeping sound and the window should now open giving you the
option of downloading photos from the camera.

V. You may have to set the options for this window.
Click on My Computer, your camera should be listed there under Devices with
Removable Storage. Right click on it and click on Properties. In the opening
window, click on the Autoplay tab and under Select, scroll to Pictures to
select it. Select the button Prompt me... Do the same thing for a CD drive.



You can also download the autofix.exe file from the site below if the above
site is not available. At this Microsoft site, you have the option of
downloading the autofix.exe file and proceed as above, or, let Microsoft
scan your computer and try to repair everything. If you decide to use this
site, run the REGS...command given above before going to this site.

I did exactly as you wrote, but still was unable to solve the problem. The .dll part seemed to proceed fine, but when I ran the autoplay autofix it didn't do anything. You know how you have to press 'begin' and then replicate the problem? Well when I do that the autofixer doesn't recognize the problem, which hasn't anything to do with the autoplay anyhow. You see, the autoplay is working fine. The problem is that once the autoplay brings up the options diaglogue box and I click on "Copy Pictures to a Folder on My Computer using MS Camera and Scanner Wizard" that the problem begins: nothing happens! Consequently I've been having to use the Sony Image Transfer program to copy my pictures to my computer, which isn't as good a program--I'd rather be using MS Camera wizard

I appreciate your help. Is there anything else I can do

Thanks for the fix. Windows XP wouldn't recognize my Fujifilm Finepix S3000 even though the installation of the software went through with no problems. I could use "My Computer" to download the pics but I wanted it to work right. I followed steps I through IV and now the program works fine. Thanks.
