Default My Fujifilm Digital Camera and my PC don't want to talk

I've installed the software, downloaded the Win 98 drivers from fujifilm,
installed them, etc yet when I plug my camera into the usb port & turn it on
I get a communications error. The port works on my other usb devices and the
camera/usb cable works on other computers. I'm banging my head .... Any Help
out there?

It's usually a lot easier to just get a card reader

Is a card reader similar to a usb hub?

The card reader would plug into your USB2...
get a card reader that's for the memory card inside the camera...

Should have said that USB1 will work too...
just quite a bit slower

I just got back from vacation, during which I bought a Fujifilm
camera. A guy I met had a messed up memory card, and his camera --
brand I don't remmeber -- and I took it to the camera store which said
he had a virus in the card, and that he must have gotten it from the
computer he used, and that this problem would be avoided by using a
card reader instead of plugging into the camera. But two guys on the
photography newsgroup said that was likely a bunch of hooey, that a
card reader wouldn't protect the camera or the card because the
computer couldn't transfer a virus to either of them. Who is right?

BTW, he didn't use a computer between the time the camera worked and
the time it didn't. He didn't even have his computer with him. He
just took pictures one day and it worked and the next day it wouldn't
work. He tried his memory card in another camera and it didn't work
there either (and he may have tried another card in his camera and it
did work.)(

The camera store said it got 150 pictures off the card and that he
could reformat it and it would be good again.

Who is telling the truth?



If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)

It is a pretty sure bet that your installation of Win98 does not have or
support USB. If it does it is probably 1.1.
I would suggest downloading USB drivers from MS and making sure your
computer is capable of handling USB input.

What version of Windows 98 do you have? Original or Second Edition? Are you
completely up to date at Windows Updates? If you have the Original edition,
are the drivers possibly only for Win98SE?

What is the exact model of the camera?

me.
