Howdy
Have bought a 2nd hand PC and have plugged in both a Sony
P10 and a Canon a200 but doesn't come up as removable
disk in Explorer?
I thought XP needed no Drivers?
How do I remedy this? Thanks
 
It is not true as a blanket statement that "XP needs no drivers", however it
can recognize many different camera's by default. Are other USB devices
recognized by default? Do you see any 'unknown hardware' listed in Device
Manager? I would look on the cannon site for drivers for your camera,
install those, and then try to see if this works.
 
Yes, Windows XP should be able to automatically detect most of the
Scanner/Camera Devices.
By the way, just asking, do you have Windows Image Acquisition service
disabled by any chance?
