My computer won't upload pictures from any digital camera!

Dec 16, 2003 11:43AM PST

I have Win ME. I can upload via card reader but not thru serial cable or USB! I do not want to spend the money to go out and buy a new card reader for my new camera. Please help! Both of my other cameras were Polaroid and this new one....I can't remember the name of it. I know my USB ports are ok because my printer is connected to one (I have tried both and both work). Its strange my computer can "see" my printer but cannot "see" my digital cameras. Thank you for any help!

You need to give more info. What kind of camera is it, exactly? How are you trying to upload? With WinME, you can't just plug in the camera and go. Are you following the manufacturers directions exactly for installing the software and hooking the camera up to the pc.

why do you want to connect the camera to the computer directly? it both drains the batteries and wears out the connector.
