windows can not detect camera
I tried to get picture from my digital camera Olympus C4000.
I had done that before without any problem but now, my computer can not detect the camera at USB connection. The difference between now and then is I have reinstalled Window and I have two CD drive now at D and E. I was going to manually letting computer know there is camera connected. I went to control panel and opened scanners and camera file then tried to add device. Then I got an error message like this. Set up could not finish opening a file on the source disk. Source file: D:autorun\Windows\fnfilter.dll Destination file: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\fnfilter.dll=DRIVER5.CAB It asked me to put Windows ME CD but CD does not have such file. Olympus manual says no driver needed for Windows Me. Is it just because CD drive is taking up space? Do I have to remove older CD drive in order to use camera? Any advice please? |

Thank you for your advice I followed and now Olympus digital camera showed
up on My computer. Even though, I can not make them communicate. I wanted to view the picture. But can not fiend the camera. I clicked on the camera icon on "my computer" the error message I got was "Device failed to initialize, make sure it is properly connected" I tried all 4 USB connections; my mouse which uses one of USB does not have a problem. Connection is good. Could you think of anything? Back to my original post, so it does not make any difference I have CD drives taking up drive D and E? Just because I remember when I had only one CD drive, the camera showed up as drive E. |

Sorry but I can't help with the problem as to why you are seeing "Device
failed to initialize, make sure it is properly connected" however turning to your drive letter query, that shouldn't be part of the problem. When you add a storage device to a sub port it will be automatically allocated the next available drive letter which in your case with one hard disk partition as C and having two optical drives using D & E will mean the camera should be assigned F. If you were to allocate say X and Y to your optical drives (I'm not suggesting that you do) then the camera would be allocated D as its drive letter. Returning to your main problem. With the camera removed try booting to Safe Mode, open the Device Manager and delete all USB related entries including any that appear for the camera. Reboot back into Normal Mode and let Win Me redetect your hardware. Reconnect the camera and see if Win Me now detects its presence and corrects the problem. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Arcury wrote: Thank you for your advice I followed and now Olympus digital camera showed up on My computer.

However, you can use a card reader in lieu of the Camedia software - at least, I can. |
