"..connected USB device had malfunctioned.."
My brother, (who had a new MSI Kt6v mobo a few weeks ago), 'phoned to say
that he plugged his little Olympus C150 into a USB port - XP Pro detected it - several little balloons popped out from his system tray in quick succession, (i guess xp was detecting and setting up a "mass storage device" and assigning a drive letter to it etc.), and the last balloon said that the attached device had malfunctioned. I think he's tried all the obvious things, fresh batteries in camera - camera still works and takes photos etc. ....I suppose he could buy a card reader but they're not cheap. I suspect it's the KT600 chipset not happy with USB signal from camera (powered by 2 AA's) ...and he uses rechargeables - so 2 x 1.2volts instead of what you'd get from alkaline disposables .... His old PC Chips / Elite...I think it was .....didn't give trouble. regards, RIchard |

I just bought one that fits in a 3.5 bay for under $30 from Newegg. Make sure you get one that read xD cards. |

Thanx Clark, I just checked my favourite online store, they've got a 13 way
reader, (external USB2.0), for 8.99, I thought they were all much more expensive than that. Will try to pin it down on his PC first tho, when I get around to it. regards, Rchard "Clark Griswold" wrote in message ... "RJK" wrote in message ...

Some cameras have two settings for file transfer: point to point (PTP) and normal (or something other than PTP) and if one mode fails, try the other. Q |
