Vista 64 wont recignize flash drive or camera

[Guest Turtlescout]

Vista 64 didn't recignize my Panasonic camera, so I removed the sd card and

used a card reader which vista64 couldnt find a driver for either. How do I

make this work? Is microsoft putting any real effort into their 64bit os or

am I waisting my time?

Microsoft doesn't do product specific drivers. If you need drivers you are

going to have to contact the manufacturer. Many do not provide 64-bit

drivers, and on the other hand many are designed to use the default drivers

for usb devices.

RE: Vista 64 wont recignize flash drive or camera

 

I am running a very powerful 64 bit system that I built and I have no issues

with My Canon or Olympus or any other cameras I attach to the system through

USB 2.0.

Now, the Olympus and others show as their own drive and named so.

The Canon just hooked right up and is a drive on it's own not like the others.

Taking the cards out of each instead of hooking them up through USB as I

stated before, I plug the cards into a universal reader OR my printer gives

me no issues at all.

I have to assume that you have a driver issue although most cameras install

the drivers when they are connected.

I suggest you go to the site of your camera and check for new updated

drivers and/or 64bit drivers.

It is possible that the camera you have will not work on a 64bit system.

With that said, I want to say that even though I have a fast and powerful

system, it STILL should not make a difference. There are a lot of programs

(More each week) that are updating to 64bit and even the ones that are not

seem to run in a lot of cases along side of 64bit....

Hi, Turtlescout.

 

My Vista Ultimate x64 sees both my Nikon camera and my SD card reader just

fine.

 

Tell us more about your card reader: Is it built into your computer? If

not, what is the make and model? Is it plugged directly into a USB port, or

into a hub? If it plugs directly into the computer, then Vista's built-in

drivers should work, but if it uses a hub, you may need drivers for that

hub. Does this reader work with another computer?

 

You should be able to see this card reader in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)

and assign it a "drive" letter to use (semi-)permanently, each time you

remove and re-insert it into the USB port.

Re: Vista 64 wont recignize flash drive or camera

 

I don't know if this is related or not, but I had a lot of problem with USB

and 1394 devices after installing Vista64.

 

I am new to Vista so I am not sure which drivers I should be installing or

what the differences are, but I was able to fix both my USB and 1394 issues

by installing drivers from the Winsxs folder.

 

There are drivers in three different folders (drivers, driverstore, and

winsxs); perhaps someone here can explain their differences.

RE: Vista 64 wont recignize flash drive or camera

 

What I ended up doing, is pluging in my devivce. My Panasonic camera and my

genaric card reader, and restart my computer with the Vista disk in the

drive. I then canceled the "locate Driver" window and it see it as a mass

storage device. Its a little messy to do it this way, but its better than

ditching everything and going back to 32bit (maybe)

Thanks

RE: Vista 64 wont recignize flash drive or camera

 

You can try installing new drivers in /windows/system32/driverstore or winsxy.

 

Don't let Vista search though because it won't find it. What you need to do

is install them manually (i.e., type in the location path)....

 

c:/windows/system32/driverstore

 

or

 

c:/windows/system32/winsxs

 

 

I worked for me....
