I have just fitted a new hard drive in my PC, and installed microscam 2000. Everything has installed itself properly with the exception of my digital camera, which strangely was the only piece of kit I DIDN'T have trouble installing on the old ME hard drive.

Every time I connect the camera to the USB port, the 'found new hardware' wizard pops up to tell me that it has detected the device, then doesn't even give me the option of telling it where to look for the drivers, it goes straight to telling me that 'The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance'.

1. WTF does that mean in english?

2. How do I tell the f**kwitted PC where to look for the drivers?

The camera is a Fuji Finepix 2400Z

Mr.Cookie

Click start right mouse on my computer choose properties, then hardware tab, device manager, something should have an exclamation icon on it click this and choose update driver.

Cheers Mr Cookie, I have just tried that, the wizard appears to believe that the software that came with the camera isn't correct.

Funnily enough I have the same probs at the mo. Camera is a Fuji A303.

Can download some images then it just jams up. Uninstalled and installed numerous times.Any advice?

I have a Fuji as well, but no problems whatsoever running iton xp.

Silly question, have you been through the installation on the cd BEFORE plugging the camera in?

If that fails, I would uninstall it and try again.

Mr.Cookie

Hi

Go download this http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epa...cucatid=664260

then run the exe when it's downloaded, if that doesn't work Click start right mouse on my computer choose properties, then hardware tab, device manager, right click on the exclamation icon and choose delete, then remove usb lead from back of pc and try to run the exe again after thats done plug usb back in

Hope that helps

CrisPDuk are you still using Windows ME? Theres your problem ME and USB does not mix at all

Mr.Cookie

I took that to mean windows 2000, hope i wasn't wrong else those drivers i'll suck

CrisPDuk

Been offline for a couple of days thanks to BT works bonfire getting out of control in Manchester but that download sorted it, cheers Mr C


BTW yes I did mean Windows 2000

CrisPDuk

Have come across another problem now though, when I disconnect the camera, an ico comes up 'unplug/eject hardware' clicking this icon appears to shut down all my USB gear, not just the camera

Thats normal, right click on the USB icon in the taskbar tray beforehand n stop the service for the camera only b4 unplugging it. Its just a win2k failsafe incase something goes t1ts up wiv other USB services.

I know this i'll be a pain in the **** to do all the time but if you disable it in device manager before you unplug it that should work, and plug it in then enable in device manager to reconnect, alternatively down by the clock on task bar is there a safely remover hardware option (it's on win xp not sure bout 2k)
