At this point, since this is a "refurbished" camera, it sounds like you got a lemon...Try a new USB cable or maybe the software isn't correct for the camera. Windows 98 isn't always the most reliable when using USB devices and software is critical.
Hope this helps.

Even with the installation disc loaded. My computer cant find a driver for, "USB Mass Storage" Whatever that means. It's for my Fuji Finepix S7000 camera. I still cannot transfer pictures from camera to p.c. I think the Mass Storage thing is the problem. Win98se IE6.1 256mb ram. New 80gig hard drive. Any thoughts? Thanks John
