It seems that many posts in here have to do with the
camera wizard not showing up. I my case the wizard worked
2 weeks ago. I did a full hard drive format and fresh
install of windows. This week when I went to download
some photos it took me straight into Photoshop without
giving me any options to select another program. I
Finally uninstalled photoshop to force WindowsXP to ask
me what I wanted to do thinking maybe photoshop was
overriding the Camera Wizard. Now the camera and windoes
XP does nothing. It is recognised, it is in device
manager, but it does not have anywhere to put pictures.
If I go into control panel for the camera and scanners
icon and check the property of my camera it has field for
you to slecet what program I want to use with the camera
and there is nothing to choose from. If I install
photoshop, then photoshop shows up as a selection and
nothing else.
What is goin on? Everything worked just fine and now it
doesn't.
 
Go to start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Scanner and Camera Wizard ... this happened on one of my old machines as well.
 
I don't have Scanner and Camera Wizard.
I did what you said. But found nothing.

Try going to Start>Run>wiaacmgr.exe. If no file is found you might have
deleted the wizard it by accident. If you got an error that the camera or
scanner cannot be detected then you might try removing and reinstalling the
device. Most likely autoplay just got messed up. Try re-registering it:

AutoPlay Intermittently Does Not Detect Removable Media or Digital Cameras:

If none of that works, make sure the Windows Image Aquistion services is
running:
1) Go to Start>Run>cmd
2) At command prompt, type net start stisvc

You should either get a message that the service is already started, or a
message that it's starting. Then try using your camera.

Just wondering if this happened after you updated something on your
computer? I uploaded real player and I think there was also a Microsoft
upgrade too.
