Guest Mike M Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: Scanner cant detect my camera What scanner wizard? It would appear that Win Me does detect your camera as it appears from your post to add it as a removable drive in Windows Explorer (My Computer). It would help me at least if you were to explain the difference and also which of Kelly's patches in XP you are using since several of these can be used with Win Me although some need editing first where the registry key or path involved differs in Win Me from that in XP. -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com Cynanthis <nospam@nospam.com> wrote: > WHen the scanner wizard cant detect my camera automatically"I know > with XP there is a fix on Kellys corner for this, but what about for > ME.

Guest Mart Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: Scanner cant detect my camera The fact that WinMe detects your camera as a "Removable Drive" and as you imply, that if you search deep enough into the "DCIM" folder and sub folders you can find the actual pictures, suggests that WinMe is working quite correctly. However, what you really may be wanting is a utility which recognises and interprets the "Removable Drive" as your specific Camera and acts accordingly to your expectations. Although not part of the WinMe operating system, this utility would *normally* be written by the Camera manufacturer and possibly provided on a CD supplied with the Camera. BUT, whether it has been written for WinMe is another issue!! Check your User Manual/Camera CD or with the manufacturer, if necessary.

Guest Bob Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Re: Scanner cant detect my camera Also very possible that even though the camera maker might provide software that your device needs, it is common for them not to mention WinME in the "System Requirements". I have seen this most often with devices that list win9X or win2000. There is a website that has saved me several times that has "pci" in the url but few outside of PC designers/repairers seem to know about it. What is is especially good for is finding the stuff you need to sucessfully register your device. Often an older version of your device did work with winME and if you borrow part or all of its registration attributes, your device will start doing what you want. http://www.pcidatabase.com might do the trick. Hopefully your vendor / device manufacturer has a support web forum. If so, they are good sources of information if you ask the right question. Keep us posted & consider putting some polish on ye olde karma...

If its possible to have it like XP, please > let me know. thnks Olympus cameras have an application called, "Camedia", which will do that. Older cameras had a Windows Me version on the install disk. If your camera is a different brand, check the install disk; it may contain a Windows Me version of the software. There are also some printer applications with that feature; and there was a Windows Me version of the Adobe Photoshop Stater Edition which ran on Windows Me (but not the current version 3.2, which requires Windows XP at a minimum). -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys.
