Get pictures from camera or scanner option is missing from a pictures
folder.
First, make sure that your scanner or camera is connected to your
computer and turned on.
Second, make sure that the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service is
set to Manual or Automatic and that the service is running.
Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) |
Under Startup type set to Manual or Automatic | Click Apply |
Click the Start button to start the service | When started click OK |
Close Services.
To test a camera or scanner
1. Open My Computer.
2. Locate the scanner or camera, right click and select Properties.
3. On the General tab, click the Test Camera or Test Scanner button.
This will perform a diagnostic test to confirm that the device is
installed properly.
• You must have a camera or scanner installed and
connected to your computer to view properties.
• A message will tell you if the scanner or camera
completed the test successfully.
This is the message...
Your imaging device successfully completed the diagnostic test.

I recently purchased an HP zd8000 desktop with the XP Media Center
Operating system and the Scanner and Camera Wizard is not on the
computer. Browsing the installation CD I could not find the file
that installed the Wizard. Where can I find this program to
download? Would the file download from the XP Pro CD without
causing problems?
Thanks for the prompt reply, but the problem is that the "Scanner and
Camera Wizard" program is not on the computer. The printer/scanner
tests ok, but where is the Wizard that allows me to Scan a
document/picture/etc and then send it to a file? This Wizard allows
me to scan one line at a time on a bank statement, whereas the HP
Controller does not.
OK! That worked. Now I know it exists, now all I have to do is put the
shortcut on my desktop. Thanks.
