installing camedia software

[Oneoldman]

HAve installed camera software on my two older pcs..successfully..have not been able to install on my E Machine...3rd pc...

I should say, it does install, but there is no recognition of "drive E" in the camera itself.

It has a USB connection cord from the camera... A second USB input has my keyboard installed... Is there any conflict in using this setup?

1) what Operating system on the problem system.

2) what make/model camera

3) have you tried updating the drivers from your manufactures website(especially if your running xp)?

4) when you plug in the camera does windows see it (i.e new hardware installed message?)

EDIT:

should be no conflict with the USB ports

You might also try plugging your keyboard into the USB slot you are using for the camera to make sure it is working.

HAve win 98 on the pc with the camedia problem....have a pent 2 with win 98 that the installation has been working fine since installing the software.
The camera is an Olympus 550..cables are fine...the usb cable as wella s the 110vac adapter.

HAve not tried to update drivers from manufacturer..that sounds like a good next step..

In my attempts to install the software disc, the installation goes along and is completed. but when camera is pliugged into USB outlet and Camedia progarm is seleced there is no indication that an "E" drive exists...both of the other pcs, one with win 98 and one with win xp work perfectly...

does win98 see the camera (give you the new hardware message) when you plug it in?

how about when you try the other usb port as suggested above?

Oneoldman, I solved this problem, when I had it, this way.
Open Camedia, select Edit > Options then click the Download tab.
Under Communications Settings select USB if you are connecting using USB. Auto is for serial port connecting.
Then you will be able to install the driver. On pages 122-125 in the manual on the Camedia CD.

Good luck.

That sounded like a likely solution..did as suggested...... but has not had any effect..however..it still sounds good to me..I'll delete the entire camedia program and re install it..again....and will try it again......I'm learning...but very slowly...thanx for your help.

I've given up on the installation temporarily..This E Machine has been a minor probnlem for months...It comes with an installation disk that allows complete deletion and re installation of operating system and win 98...I was about to delete evrything on the hard drive since this pc has nothing on it that I need to keep...but, on installing the installation disk I see where it gives the three options..partial, or complete..or start up...and it's locked on # 3 option..which doesn'te experiment with starting over from scratch, and, ultimately, I had hoped, the succcessul installation of Camedia.

Since everything else seems to be working well on this pc, I'll leave well enough alone...for now anyway.....Thanks to the several suggestions ...I'll not give up on this entirely but for now we'll call it off.
