MS scanner and camera wizard problem

[~ FreeSpirit ~]

It appears to be saying drive H, I assume this is your card reader isnt
working/has an unidentifiable fault.
As I said before, I have seen reports of problems with the card reader
supplied on your sys.

Personnally I simply use usb from my camera, and use rechargable batteries
for that. But maybe I dont use it as much as you?
Considered buying an external usb reader, or do you have one you could
borrow, to test on your sys?
I dont know about your side of the pond, but here a retailer would refund
me
if it did'nt work

## H drive is the flash-card reader. I guess I'll just have to download
them manually from now on. What a king size pain in the (_|_) that is.
:-( The flash drive does work because I can go to WE and click on H
drive - and unload the card that way. So it does work and does see the jpg
files on the flash card.

"Before this I downloaded and installed the fix for C:\ ="
I have no idea what your refering to - sorry

## There was a "fix" at that website. I hoped it may help - it didn't.
Thanks for all your help. You and Sharon have the patience of saints.

There have been posts in other groups of problems with the HP supplied
card
reader.
If your Epsom scanner isnt listed, then it would appear not to have
been
installed correctly

$$ What makes you say that since it's worked on this PC as long as
the
camera has? I have the parser from Epson for it to work with XP. *I
just
checked it to make sure it's working - it is!!! )) I don't use the
scanner as much now that I have the digital camera.

Presumably your HP camera was supplied with a cable to directly connect
to
a
usb port?

$$ Yes. That was used before I got the PC with XP-Home. We don't
like
using the cable because it really drains the batteries down.

With the camera switched on - card in, connect this.
If your HP Camera software was correctly installed a seperate
window/app
should start. This will be a HP Camera specific app - not any winxp
wizard -

$$ Yes, that window comes up (as long as I don't check the box saying to
remember to do this action each time - now) but if I select the "MS
scanner
and camera wizard" as I've done for the past 2 years, it does not come up
anymore. I have to download and delete all the pics manually, then name
the
group, etc. It takes forever compared to the speed of the MS wizard.

If nothing happens, either your camera software isnt installed
correctly,
or
with the camera switched on go back to Control Panel/Camera Scanner,
highlight the entry for the Camera, right click properties.
In the resulting
window 'test'
What does it say?

$$ I can't test it that way. I can't click on *properties* because
as
soon
as I click on Control Panel/Camera Scanner a window opens where I can
download the pics manually. Nothing there to click on that says
properties.
No window asking me what I want to do, and no MS wizard. If I insert the
*flash stick* that window comes up - but then no MS wizard!!! IOWs, to
get
the window to come up asking about the MS wizard I must use the
flash-stick.
If I use the cable no window comes up at all - a WExp-like window
opens
where I can manually download the pics and delete them from the
camera.
If
I click on *properties* with the camera NOT connected and turned on,
it
says
that the properties are not available. So how you get to see properties
with this camera is a mystery to me!

The wizard is'nt working because it does'nt see any device, which
could
be
for a number of reasons.
ie software/driver/bios/firmware/hw issues

delete all these, then reboot

## Not there! I looked twice to make sure - no "KYE card readers"
with
everything expanded - only USB readers. They are listed as CF
reader,
MS
reader, SD reader and SM reader. Which should I delete? This
is
right
from
the Device Manager window.


Then in Start/Control Panel look for Camera/Scanner double
click,
what
does
it list?

## It lists my HP Photosmart 350 and my Logitech QuickCam Messenger
Camera.
I don't see my Epson scanner listed.
