Question Recovering from CWS, now I need to redo...my pictures folder
Flrmn1 did a terrific job helping me remove some CWS virus that attacked my computer.


The problem is, I have a Olympus Camedia D-390 and for months I had my computer set up to where when I plugged in my camera to a USB port, I would instantly have a brower window pop up for my pictures folder to send me down the steps I needed to upload to that file folder.


Now, none of this happens, and I cannot transfer the images.


Olympus software will allow me to transfer images into that software program, but when I try to move the pictures over to my pictures folder, I cannot open them nor can I view them, and it changes the name of the Jpeg formats.



I have a business that includes a website that has over a hundred pictures and I cannot add to them now that this happened.


I couldn't find anything in My Pictures folder in Options or Tools to rectify the situation.




Is there any chance that a button was pushed on the camera that has caused this problem, or do you think it is affiliated with the computer itself?


Thanks to all who respond.

Was it the Windows XP wizard that opened or the Camedia software?

Do you show a “Removable Drive” in Windows Explorer with the camera connected to the computer and switched on? It would have a drive letter like your CD-ROM drive.

Yes. It was a Windows XP wizard that opens up.......The Camedia software I don't like or use.


It usually opens as Drive E or D ......cannot remember which one.


If I could just get that wizard to open back up.........I would be okay.

I had the same thing happen to me last week but I didn't have a virus. I have an Olympus Camedia C3000 and use XP. Out of the blue when I put the card in my sandisk card reader the XP wizard would not come up for uploading the pictures. The light on the sandisk would come on for a sec and the hour glass would flash a sec but no wizard. My problem turned out to be that autoplay in XP was not working at all so even when I loaded a CD it wouldn't auto play. I could access the pictures from the removable drive fine and copy them to a folder and same with accessing a CD of photos. I don't know if this will help but check and see if autoplay is not working on your CD drive also. For me I had to use a restore point and go back and that solved it but I never figured out what caused it in the first place.
