Vista - How do I get my laptop to recognise my camera?

I have just got a Zennox DV5210 but I cannot get my laptop to recognise it because the disc that they have provided is only compatible with XP and Windows 98. Is there anyway I can get the laptop to recognise this digital camera?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried just taking the card out of the camera and putting into a card reader? That's all I do. It saves having yet more useless software and drivers cluttering up the HDD.

Hi Niknaid,

Assume the camera comes with a USB lead what happens if you just plug the lead in without trying to load drivers

you could also try something like CAM2PC Free


Cam2pc Free Edition - digital camera downloader software, Graphics software

Hi,

Don't know if this will apply, but may be of use to someone.

When I attached my vivicam to Vista via USB, it wasn't recognised as even being attached.

There is a SET button on the back of my camera for changing modes. I pressed it - it must have sent a signal to the pc, as Vista immediately recognised it and installed it's native drivers. Works fine.

Hope it helps

Thank you very much for all the reponses I have downloaded the link and this seems to have worked.

Unfortunately my laptop does not have a memory card slot - the machine is about 18 months old.

Thanks again
