    Vista won't accept my camera software??

    I have tried to install the software that came with my camera
    "Nikon coolpix 8700" I know this is a fairly old software programe, but I still would like to use it with my camera??
    Nikon does not seem to have a solution to this problem - maybe someone else can help me to solve my situation.
    Thanks,
    Lucsno

    You didn't detail what the problem was exactly.

    There are number of free software out there for photo editing.

    Irfanview, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Live Gallery, Google Picasa, GIMP
    and probably more.

    Look around here and see if there is a solution.
    Current Versions of Nikon Software
    I can't believe that some one at nikon wouldn't help you, what is the matter with their support?

    Bummer! As Tae Song asked in post #2 what is it you are trying to do? Maybe someone can point you to another software program that can do what you want.

    I know you mean the software that came with the camera.

    What I mean is what does it not do? Does it not installed? Does it
    install, but not start? Does it pop up with an error message at some point?

    What makes you say you can not use the software?

    To all who have answered me - thank you
    It will not recognize the program & will not install the original software that came with my Nikon coolpix 8600 - the message is that it is not compatible with my Vista 64 bit computer.
    Thanks again to all - if I do get an answer to my problem - I will let you know
