I lost my polaroid i533 about two days before I started using it. I can't upload my pics off my camera without the cd and I even download the driver. Can I download the software of a website or where can I buy the cd at?

I assume you lost the disk? and did not lose the camera?-is that correct?
Buy a card reader for SD memory stick to download the photos (about $15 at Walmart).
Get free software to alter the pictures as you desire (the first entry in this forum lists many freeware programs.)

For Windows ME, 2000, XP and Vista there is no driver. You need only plug the camera into the USB port. It will show as a drive in My Computer or Windows Explorer and you can download the pictures directly, use the wizard or use any program with an acquire function.

For Windows 98SE you need the driver. http://www.polaroid.com/service/soft...bmLocale=en_US

Hi, when I do this with the INTERNAL photo-storage (no SD-card), the display shows "connecting...", and the explorer shows: "searching for elements..."

After a few minutes (!) the explorer shows: "G:/"
And every next path needs minutes...
after 20 minutes, I get: "G:/DCIM/100Media/DSCI0001.JPG"

But it is NOT possible to COPY the picture.
Every thing in explorer needs minutes (right-click, load next path)
Without the photo and USB, or with SD-Card, all is ok.

What can I do?

Thanks, Markus

Are you sure there are photo's on the INTERNAL memory? Have you taken any pictures with the memory stick removed? (the internal memory stick does not store photo's when a memory stick is installed.)
With the memory stick removed can you view any pictures from the screen on the back of the camera?
Most opinions I have seen on this site (and several others) indicate that software included with all digital cameras is almost useless and can be replaced with freeware programs (see the first item in this forum for a list.)
I think there might be some confusion about your cameras internal memory, and probably there are no photo's stored on it.

Yes, the photo is visible on the display, it was made without memorycard.
It is also visible in explorer - after 20 minutes...

But I need to work with it. It is not loadable in Irfanview or equal or copy.

Hm - nobody has a solution for reading internal memory with Vista via USB?
