I've recently bought a Time base unit (AMD 2400+, etc.,
etc.) running XP SP1. Has USB Hub and mass storage ports.
XP comes up "device not recognised" when I power on Camera
to transfer pictures when it's plugged in to any of the
USB ports. NikonView 6 software has loaded OK with no
errors from XP so all drivers should be there (i.e. the
Nikon PTP Driver off the camera CD). XP is supposed to
auto-recognise this camera and start up Nikon Transfer
window to transfer pictures (i.e. it should be "plug and
play"???).
Device Manager has "Unknown Device" in USB list when I
plug in camera to USB and power it on. Device Tab says no
drivers are installed? but supposedly XP has successfully
installed them from the Nikon CD.
I've tried all sorts of things recommended by Nikon, Time,
Microsoft KB but it hasn't worked (e.g. uninstall /
reinstall Nikon Software, try to update driver with XP
wizard, etc.).
Can anyone suggest anything or help if you have seen a
similar problem.
I definitely think it's to do with the Device Drivers /
USB ports and is a computer problem. Camera's OK. My mate
has exact same camera and plugged it in to his machine
which is running Windows ME and it came up no problem and
tranferred the pictures.
I bought this camera as it was the newest addition to the
Coolpix series from Nikon and supposed to be XP
compatible, plug'n'play, etc?!
Cheers.
