    Go to the camera mftr.'s website and download the latest drivers for Vista.
    Install those. The drivers on the old CD aren't going to work.

    Also, sometimes I see this but if you just say "no, don't format" you
    can then go to explorer and access the CD's files directly. Strange
    but true.
