USB drivers?

Kendall Frederick · 07-26-2001, 08:05 AM

OK, I've got a computer question...I bought a digital camera recently (Fujitsu). It came with a USB interface cable; it's supposed to look like a drive when plugged in so you can download the pictures.

However, my computer won't recognize the camera or do much of anything. Following the camera software's manual, I've removed and reinstalled the USB drivers; no dice.

I have used the camera and USB cable on a laptop at work to download pictures, so I know they're functional.

Now what? I'd like to be able to do more than look at the stupid pictures on the camera's display!

What version of Windows? Are you sure USB is enabled in the Bios of the computer?

Kendall, you don't have a Hewlett Packard computer do you? The USB port on my "Easy Access Front Panel" has never worked. Plugged it into the rear USB and worked fine.

Win 98. I have not checked the BIOS settings; I'll do that. Jack, the computer is some generic POS that I picked up from the lowest priced retailer on pricewatch.com.

Thanks guys, any more?

Update: Mike wins the prize. The USB was turned off in the chipset options in the BIOS. I have no idea why they'd put the USB in and turn it off by default, but..

I have pics now...just need to upload some and post.

possible reasons the USB would be turned off ...

I know before win98...when win95C had USB support the computer company I worked for kept USB turned off because devices were not out there and 95C's USB support was sketchy...

Also it might have been conflicting with something...

or maybe they were just bein dumb

..it's problably the third one since it sounds like a newer computer and how you bought it and all
