I have a Sony DSC-W80 digital camera, and I have great difficulty copying the files to my PC through the USB port on two of my four
PC's. Two other PC's work fine. The two that give me great trouble produce copious error events in the event log like that shown in
the subject line (about 100 per minute). The transfer runs very slow - and when there is a longish movie file on the camera the
transfer eventually will fail claiming there is an IO error. This was happening for some time on one PC, which has now been
recently rebuilt with a fresh copy of winxp pro. My other desktop has the same issue. Both are AMD Athlon systems with VIA Chipsets.
Asus A8V-VM SE motherboard on one and MSI K9VGM-V AM2 VIA K8M890 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard.
My two laptops, one by Compaq and one by Dell can read the files without incident in less than a minute - while the current estimate
on this PC is 168 minutes.
When I googled this issue I find many others with a similar issue, with memory keys and USB hard drives mostly. No one has reported
back that they found the cause of the issue and fixed it. There are a wide variety of systems represented - though all I found had
Athlon processors. Does anyone out there recognize this problem and know what the fix is?
Thanks,
Mike
