Answer» I've taken some photographs on my digital camera and want to download them to my pc. When I first attached the camera to the USB lead XP detected the new hardware, but it doesn't bring up the box asking if you WOULD like to either copy the images, view as a slideshow, explore the contents etc. I use a similar camera at work on another pc using XP and it does it first time. Is my pc using the wrong driver? Or do I have to do SOMETHING ELSE before it will work? I have used the CD that came with the camera but it still won't download automatically. I have to navigate through My Computer to the cameras drive and do it all manually.If the camera came with a cd , then install the software.xp won't always have all the drivers.mrip.......Is the camera you use at work exactly the same as yours and is that system using exactly the same software as you have installed on your home pc ? The fact that you are able to download your images suggests to me that things are working as they should unless you have missed a setting when you setup your camera software on your home machine .
