What is the purpose of the software that comes with the purchase of a digital camera? I purchased a SonyDSC-S650 and ran the disk that came with it. It appears to me that now I have photos in two places. Should I delete the Sony program or is it better to store my photos using their software.
View 7 RepliesI just uploaded pictures from my digital camera to the computer and now it wont let me modify them. I am panicing! It deleted them off my camera and now I can't upload them anywhere or even modify them. I'm losing my son's memories. This is the only time I didn't "Name" them when uploading because it said it was optional. Any other Windows I have had would just automaticly name them for me and no problem. Now I can't modify and save. It tells me: Changes to this picture have not been saved. The file may be read-only or you might not have permission to save to the pictures location. They are not read only. I went into the properties and checked. This is so horrible. I have never had to deal with this. I even took a mock picture and named it when I imported it and I can do what ever I want to that picture including save modifications.

Last night I installed SP1 and guess what/ Yup, can't use camera, Windows search for driver failed and Cannon website has no support for this camera for Vista says it's too old. What!!! nor would the driver from the original disk work. I've got a Epson Colour printer that's older than the camera. Epson can manage it, why not Cannon? However this is strange considering that Vista 64 bit had a driver before I installed SP1 Now I've got to fork out for a card reader.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Canon S3IS digital camera which can take movies. The movies show an .AVI extension and (I think) use an MJPEG codec. After transferring the movie files to my (Vista) hard drive, their behavior is erratic:
- The movie files *will not* play in Windows Media Player. The WMP error message is: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file". Clicking on Web Help reveals: "You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player."
- The movie files *will not* play in Windows Media Center; WMC says "Cannot Play Video - Windows Media Center cannot open the file".
- If I import the files into Windows Movie Maker, WMM appears to play them, but the preview screen is black............
Does anyone know if there is a way to convert pixels to inches using a digital camera? What I am trying to say is, i have as an example a photo that is 286 KB with a 300 dpi resolution and 2921x2100 pixels. Some one E-maild a picture as an attachment that was 2.01mb, 180 dpi resolution and 3264x2448 pixels. I am trying to understand why their picture 2.01 mb and when I take pictures I never get over 600kb.

Apon browsing RealTekHD audio properites I discovered that the only options for Digital Output(RCA) were all 2-Channel under "Default Format" tab. However my front pannel Audio Output Jack(HD Audio 2nd Output) has an extra third tab labeled "Speaker Configuration" and has options for up to 7.1 surround but these settings do not impact my Digital Output(RCA) channel. Now my reciever does have a multi-channel input that could take advantage of the Analog Outputs in the rear but the distance is to great and multiple wires are expensive.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently I adopted a strange problem in Vista x64. I have a home network, which works fine. Just recently, something strange started happening. Now when I click on "network" from the start bar(or anywhere for that matter) the window goes blank, as if its not even going to the "network places". Its hard to describe, so I will paste a screen shot. Sometimes it works fine. When I just boot the computer it works fine, then a little while later it just magically stops(yet anything connected through the network still technically works, like media streaming etc... I just no longer can see anything in "network"). It just seems as if the explorer is not working correctly, but I have no idea what could possibly cause this. I've tried deleting my network and adapters and re-doing everything(including clearing all network info from the registry) and it did nothing. I thought maybe it was a firewall update, so I uninstalled firewall, no effect.
It doesn't even come up with the green bar along top or the sidebar on the left. My shared folders on this PC don't even show. Nothing is even displayed in the location bar. Its just as if explorer stops displaying the network after the computer has been on for so long. If I end task on explorer in task manager and open explorer back up, it works again(like a reboot). Then not after long, it goes back to not working. Very frustrating cause I often transfer files between systems/network locations. I've searched all over the net to no avail...
I have a desktop with XP Pro, and laptop with Vista Home. I can see the computers in "my network places" and I can log into Vista-laptop from my XP-desktop after giving user name and password, but I can't log in from Vista-laptop into my XP-desktop. It keeps telling me that the user name/password is incorrect.
I have only one account on XP computer, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I checked the spelling, CAPS, but it still keeps telling me that the log in information is not correct.
I have windows vista home premium. And i tried setting up a home network, which worked fine, i can see all shared folders on my network and i can access the said computer from another computer with no problem.
However, whenever i try to open any folder on the network , even if its my own (from said computer) i get blue screen, windows reboots, windows says it found a problem it cant fix, and everything else seems to be working fine. It happens with ANY folder on the network location, regardless if it has anything in it. I scanned the computer for viruses, according to my kaspersky its clean. It used to work in the past, i used to be able to access network folders with no problem.
How do I fix it? D:
We have two Sony Vaio laptops in my house and this has happened with both of them. When I type the little flashing line moves to random places and the typing continues from there. Not only that, sometimes when I type passages get highlighted or deleted, or the page simply changes for no reason. Why did this happen and how can i fix it? D:
I posted this on Yahoo Answers and the response was
"
this is common and one of the reasons people hate vista, however its easy to fix.
go to control panel >mouse and other (or printers and other) >Mouse > Touchpad Tab >move the slider back a bit so its not so sensitive.
When the Touchpad is super sensitive weird things happen when your hands are nearby.

But I don't have a touchpad tab option that allows me to do that.
This has probably been brought up here before, but iv just spent the last 5 hours trawling throught the net looking for fixes for this problem, I cant remember half of thiings iv tried now, the problem is this. I cant transfer my Sony handy cam DCR-HC44E mini DV tape over the usb cable to the computer, The picture package that comes with the camera has compatability problems with windows vista. Sombody tell me this issue has been resolved as surely its been noticed a long time now, surely its a simple thing for Microsoft to fix, are they just trying to get more money out of me

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Canon PowerShot SD750 camera. This is what used to happen when I connected it to my computer - a window would pop up, it would ask me if where I want to download the picture, how they should be named, if the pictures should be deleted from my camera etc. It also gave me an option to set defaults to some of these settings and there was a checkbox "Don't ask me again" (or something like that). Silly me, I clicked on it.
From that point the window would no show up and all my pictures are transferred to my desktop once I connect the camera, no questions asked. That worked for a while but I want the pictures to go to a different folder now and I just can't change the default folder that I once set. How do I get the option window to reappear ? Where are these settings stored, on my camera or my desktop ? I cannot find them. I am running Vista 64 bits.
With old computer, running Windows XP, if I wanted to transfer pictures from my camera to my computer I could just plug the USB cord into the camera & into the computer and the picture wizzard would automatically come up and walk me right through it. With my new computer, running Windows Vista, when I plug the USB cable in, I get the sound that I usually get when I plug the cable in but nothing more happens. I don't know how to get to the wizzard so I can download (or upload or whatever the correct term is) my pics to my computer. I do have the capability to take out my XD picture card and insert it into my computer but I also want to be able to use the USB cable. Is this a Vista thing?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I plug in a digital camera, I no longer see the autoplay dialog. This is not a driver issue because (a) autoplay doesn't work for any camera I connect, and (b) it was working fine a few days ago. The system does recognize the cameras because they're listed in Explorer and I have no problem getting pictures from them. When a camera is connected, the cursor changes briefly to a wait cursor, but then nothing else happens.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI did have my operating system set up on "Classic" setting to resemble Windows XP and when it was set that way anytime I slid the memory card from my camera in it would pop up the pictures in a new folder in my already existing software I store pictures in. All I needed to do from there were to highlight and drag them into another folder and delete the pictures out of the folder they popped up in...thus emptying the memory card from my camera. Since I have switched the look back to Vista appearance (Vista Home Premium) now I have to go thru Start, Computer, and then click on the drive to open the pictures on the memory card. I also have to manually open my picture editing software manually and drag the pics from the temp folder to my regularly used software to move the pictures. What changed just by changing the appearance of the operating system and how do I get it back without changing the whole appearance back to the "classic" look?
