my XP SP2 doesn't recognize my Olympus FE-100. It installs it as "Unknown device". I have no problems this kind with my printer, mp3 player, but i had the same problem when trying to connect my friends watch which has usb memory in it (it works fine on his computer- XP). I tried to connect my camera on Win ME and it works properly. I know this has to do something with my XP, i just don't know what. I tried to uninstall- reinstall the camera, stop-restart the WIA but nothing helped. There is no driver for it because xp should recognize it at least as a storage device.
Suddenly, windows XP will not recognize my evision 123 digital camera. I tried another port but no luck. A message came up that refered to the cameria not having a signed logo?
I'm struggling to connect my Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 to my Compaq Laptop, Windows XP.It works on other computers without a problem that's why I think it must be some setting in XP. I plug it in when prompted by installation software and the camera goes to :'preparing' Then immediately the windows found new hardware creen pops up. On the other computers that screen didn't come up and the camera would go straight into connecting' mode.I tried switching the 'found new hardware' off by disabling the plug and play in'services' with no luck.When I connect the camera while I'm starting up the laptop, it goes straight into 'connecting' mode but unfortunately that stops as soon as windows is started.I would like windows to detect my camera as a drive and not 'other devices
After I uninstalled some Dell printer software from my computer, my Cannon camera and Samsung scanner do not work. I have deleted the devices and connected them again but when XP tries to install the drivers I get this error: "Windows cannot load the device drivers for the new hardware. The Driver may be corrupt or missing. (Code 39)".I have reinstalled SP2 then SP3 but that did not help.

I have just purchased a Fuji Fine pix camera and cannot get the device manager to see it. It has a yellow triangle against the digital camera entry and under properties has" Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38) If I install new hardware it sees tha camera and I get new hardware found but then give the message not installed properly, any ideas out there?
My camera worked just fine for a couple of months, using UBS cable. Then suddenly my computer couldn't detect the camera, although it's listed in the hardware device list, and say it's working fine. Checked connections: fine. I've downloaded the drive from the vivicam website; I've used the disk that came with the camera, and nothing seems to work. Reinstalled it. I have the latest windows XP updates.
This is not really a tweak as such, just a very simple thing you could do with your digital camera that most people don't think about.Do you have a digital camera that shows up as a removable storage device in explorer? Well, start using it as one!You can use the memory cards on your camera for storing documents mp3's or whatever you choose to store there. Perfect if you need to bring some files to a friend, but the files won't fit on a diskette and you don't have a CD burner - just save it on the camera!
All of a sudden my PC isn't finding a removable drive when i plug my camera into the USB port. I'm trying to copy pics from my digital camera and have always used the removable drive function in My Computer...now it's not working. other USB hardware (keyboard, mouse etc) are working fine. I've changed the cable, installed the camera driver disk, tried finding new hardware, and tried different USB ports to no avail.Camera is an Episilom 1.3 digital dreams and is working fine. Running Win XP SP2 on AMD Semprom 2800+ 2 GHz processor. Mobo is ASRock K7Upgrade-600
I recently (two weeks ago) upgraded my system from W98 to W2k. The first time I installed, the program , I did it keeping my w98 folders etc. Ther were some errors and I tried to re-install, choosing the overwrite option. (also downloaded service pack one! I tried to download service pack 4 but it told me there was not enough memory) I have been left with two W2k directories. I have been using the most recent one (the preferred one) and have slowly been copying my important files using my flash disk from the other W2k directory. The only problem I have had is that althought the drivers and soft ware are installed, everytime I connect and switch my digital camera on, the sytem reboots. Iwanted to "defrag " the preferred W2k directory but was told there was not enough disk space. I thought then to uninstall programs on the other W2k diectory that I was not using. ie. mainly software etc for which I have disk and have reinstalled on the preferred W2k directory. Well after I had finished I rebooted, and then the trouble began! I cannot get into the "preferred" W2k directory. I swear I did not change or remove any settings or programs.
While transferring video clips from my digital camera to my computer, the media players show images upside down. There is no problem when transferring to other computers.
- Doesn't recognize the printer that's been installed for over a year
- Won't let me install another one
- System restore gives the error "System restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run System Restore again." and restarting does nothing.
I have an old Compaq Presario 5360 with Sis 7001 PCI to USB controller. This machine was working GOOD, I could work with my USB web cam, USB drive, USB digicam and others MP3 players.I have reinstalled my WinXP with Service Pack 2.0 and now I CAN'T use any USB device, when I connect my USB drive this device is not powered, XP doesn't notify me for anything. simply this PC looks not to have any USB controller.I have an DELL Notebook, I can use my USB devices on it.I just reinstalled the OS in the same way how I did it before. I think is something about drivers, the control panel (System devices) tells me everything is good and my USB controllers are working correctly.
My operating system, Windows XP, comes up with several error messages when I try to open up system files or programs that concern the "Computer Administrator". I then checked in the Control Panel to make sure that my name is in fact the admininstrator, and it is, to no suprise. But whenever I try to open these programs it either says this has been disabled by the administrator. The administrator has turned off this feature.
I don't know why this happens. I find out a way to fix it and then when I close it, it won't let me reopen it without fixing it again. Some programs that I have tried that don't work and give me this or a similar error message are, System Restore, Task Manager, Regedit, and Windows Update.
I don't really understand it.I initially used G-parted to partition my 250gb drive into a 100, 75, and 55.Then I tried installing Windows XP SP3 and it says it doesn't recognize them, so I deleted those partitions and made new ones (the same size though) and it asked me to reboot. After I rebooted it prompted me again with Press Enter to install Windows, so I do and it says some crap about how it doesn't recognize any hard drive plugged in.BIOS recognizes the drive and its size.
I just replaced my old DVD ROM with a new DVD-RW drive. The system writes to the new drive fine (I have burned a couple of Video DVDs) but when I boot the system the Bios says it doesn't see the D: (CD) or E: (DVD) drive. Once I am into Windows XP I can also play CDs from the CR-RW drive but I can't use it to copy new software onto the system.
I have a multi-boot system set up and it Includes 3 OS's, Windows 7, XP, and a flavor of Linux. My XP installation does not recognize hardly any of the drivers for the hardware on my HP pavilion dv2941se laptop. Beings it doesn't have the driver for my network card i cant get online to search for other drivers.
I have a Windows XP home SP2 computer that has a Sony DVD RW DW-D22A that supposedly supports both -R and +R. Well I bought a stack of 100 Blank DVD-R and less than 1/2 way through the stack they turned into lousy DVD's. Both for DVD movies and data storage they wouldn't work. I would get this CRC check sum error message. I contacted the manufacturer and sent in a few samples and they replaced them - sent me two stacks of 50 - nice company. Well I just burned a data disc and my computer doesn't recognize anything being on the disc - I even get the "You have inserted a blank cd/dvd window" thing on my screen. I then tried to burn a dvd movie using a different program and that program doesn't even recognize a disc being in the drive (yes I did put in a fresh dvd before I started the program).
My brother went to My Computer one day and saw that there was no disc drive there, it was working in the past, but now it doesn't show up, I don't think he did anything unusual. But it shows up under Safely Remove Hardware Wizard with "Samsung CD Drive" or something like that.
Just upgraded a old pc running win 98 to xp.Before I reformatted and installed the new os I made a backup of my 98 os and files using ms backup on a DVD. The file was about 3 gb and was verified by the backup program. It has the file extension .qic.The XP ms backup doesn't recognize the .qic format.Anyone know if I can install the 98 backup on XP or a freeware backup program to read my file?
I'm running XP SP2 home addition 32 running on AMD64 processor with 1G ram. Most times XP doesn't recognize my Canon i350 printer even though the PC beeps to acknowledge that the printer is on-line through a USB connector. I've reinstalled drivers more than once and even used Plug&Play. Also I don't have any other printer drivers installed. Canon i350 is set as my default printer. Each time the problem occures I can get XP to recognize the printer by either turning the printer off and on again (to easy) and if that fails re-booting sometimes more than once.
I have a USB MICR Reader (It is used for reading checks and credit cards) and i use the accessibilitiy option in control panel to enable serial key devices since the program has to go thru a virtual keyboard in order for the MICR Reader to communicate with the program and in the accessibility options you can only use com 1-4 since MS doesn't reconize anything above 4 for use as a serial device. Nedless to say i need to know how to change com ports in XP the device will take up to com port 18 but the serial devices above 4
I am running XP Pro on my computer. On another drive I have windows 7. My computer stopped booting to my XP drive all of a sudden, but it would let me boot to my Windows 7 drive. That lasted for about 3 days. Now I can't boot to either drive. When I start the computer it says there is no HDD. I tried to use the XP disk to repair, that didn't work., so I thought I'd do an XP install. But my hard drive doesn't show up all the time. Or it will show the HDD but upon trying to pick a partition to set up XP in, it then tell me there is no HDD. I get the blue screen of death, and have to manually force a shut down. Other times it tell me that the HDD is RAW, and it needs to be formatted. How can I get the HDD to format? Is there a way to do it through DOS. Sometimes I can't even get to the DOS prompt. The bootup section is corrupt. I need to repair it, but can't if the system doesn't see my HDD.
I had my wedding pics placed on a CD by the photographer. When I place the CD in a pc running Vista, it pulls up all the pics just fine. When I place it in my home pc though, running XP, my pc acts like there isnt even a CD in the drive, like it doesnt recognize the CD is there at all
Previously, my laptop did recognize the drive but for some reason it is now not finding it. I have plugged the drive into another computer and it is recognized. The laptop will recognize other devices which I plug into it. I have checked for viruses and have also tried restoring to an earlier time but no luck recognizing it
Tried opening a video file that was changed from MSWMM in Movie Make towmv.Previous files opened when I changed them to WMV. This iswhat I get when I try to open file: "Unrecognized format for 'D:Documents and Settings(name of file).wmv'".
I recently was forced to do a re-install of XP to clean up a few bugs.The system has 3 hard drives, but since the reinstall, only the C: drive appears. The other two are nowhere to be found.I've tried mapping to them, but they just don't show up there as a mapping option.Anyone have any advice? When I added the extra hard drives I didn't have an available slot and did have to create a partition. I no longer have the software I had originally used though. Do I need it to make the 2 other drives visable?
I keep getting this error "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". And if I leave my PC on to long the keyboard, mouse, and sometimes even the monitor stop working. I've tried unplugging the keyboard and mouse (which are not USB) and plugging them back in, but to no avail.
Every music folder in My Music after C (cameo!) has disapeared although I know they are still there - i can still play them in itunes and even open the song folder but if I copy it and drop it back into My Music it vanishes. Windows doesn't even recognise the memory that the missing files use and thinks the folder holds 3 gigs when its more like 30. Just wondering if there is anything I can try before going through the hassle of reformating.
