My computer sees my camera , try to launch scanner and
camera wizard it will now not launch. All was well last
time I used it. Tried system restore, it only goes bask
30 days. It's been longer than that since I've used it.
No luck with the system restore. I tried the camera and
wizard on my wife's PC. All's well there. It works just
like mine used too. Any answers?? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
 
This is a known problem and Microsoft is working
on a fix...actually, there's a download available now
that many users have reported having success with.

How to restore AutoPlay:

There are two ways you can try. Both
have been reported to work, but not
everyone has been successful.

Here's the latest fix:

I. Connect your camera to your computer,
power it on and make sure you have
pictures on your memory card.

II. Go to...Start / Run and type:

"REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL"
(without the quotes)(Yes, there's
a space between 2 and S)

Click...OK.
This will take a few seconds to run.

III. Go to the following site:

(Microsoft Autoplay Repair Wizard)

Download the autofix.exe file to your
desktop. Once done, double click on
this file. A window will open. Follow the
directions on the screen.

Once done, turn off the camera and
reboot.

IV. Power the camera on, wait 10-15
seconds for XP to recognize it, you
should hear some beeping sound and
the window should now open giving
you the option of downloading photos
from the camera.

V. You may have to set the options for
this window. Click on My Computer,
your camera should be listed there
under Devices with Removable Storage.
Right click on it and click on Properties.
In the opening window, click on the
Autoplay tab and under Select, scroll to
Pictures to select it. Select the button...

Here is the previous fix.

Fourth item from the top of the page. Two
fixes are presented. One is to edit the
registry, the second one is to download
Tweak UI and do the repair with it. If you
are comfortable editing the registry, go
ahead.

If not, download Tweak UI.

Once you download Tweak UI file in one
of your folders, double click on it to install
it.

Once this is done, click on Start and click
on All Programs. Look for Power Toys for
Windows XP. Click on it and Tweak UI
will be listed. Click on it to get it started.

A window will open. Click on the + sign
next to My Computer, then click on the +
sign next to Autoplay. Then, click on Types.
Check the boxes for Autoplay Drive Types
and click OK.

If all else fails...purchase a USB memory
card reader.

Good luck.
