Hi I am running an old ibm 380 which has replaced another ibm machine i had. I use a Samsung Digimax 230 to take pictures for work. Previously on the other ibm I would plug my camera into the USB and a window would pop up asking me where i want to store my jpegs. I would write in 'sort' and push enter and it would download. I would then go to my pictures/ sort file and organise the photos i had taken into job files. It was great but the old ibm crashed. When I plugged in the camera the first time it did nothing so I loaded Digimax 230 software and now get the pictures coming up in a tree within the Digimax viewer, which is fine but i have to cut and paste and it is not user friendly. What i want is to find the software or command i had before but i have no disk and cant find it on the net. The only reference to it is 'getimgs.exe' which comes up when i click on an icon "MSDOS" ( with get pictures written underneath ) that i copied from my old desktop. Can you help me find the software or similar to launch and ask where in my pictures i want jpegs to go?? Or was this a win98 command of some kind i can enter again? Any help would be amazing.

Go to My Computer. With the camera plugged in and ready to download, right click on the drive that is the camera – usually “removable disk”. Select Properties > Autoplay > Pictures. Check “select an action to perform” and choose what you want to open. You probably want “copy pictures to a folder on my computer”. Apply and OK. It should work like it did with the old computer.

You could try Picasa for 98, ME and 2000 (http://picasa.google.com/support/bin...n&answer=26902). It might not have the little utility that recognizes when a media device is plugged in like it does for the XP and up version though.

I don’t remember how to set up the autoplay on 98SE. Look up autoplay in help.
