jrok72 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I'm at my wits end on this one!!! Every time I try to connect my my Canon S50 camera I have to reinstall it. I'm using XP and the canon utilities for this. Is there and words of wisdom for this novice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Is this a brand new camera? If it is an older one, theoretically XP should have the necessary drivers for it and there should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrok72 Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 It's a newer one. According to the official website should be no problem. After doing everything they suggest. Still no glory, sent off a trouble report so will see what they have to say. I hate all this combatibilty stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that with my Printer after I installed XP and thankfully it was a simple endeavor to fix it. But that is not always the case. The most recent Ex BF had huge compatibility issues with his computer after he tried installing a SCSI drive and upgrading to XP. After a week of messing around with it he gave up and sent it off to the professionals at the computer repair shop. His computer happens to be older than mine, which is something I consider a real feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaon Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 Are you connecting it via USB or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrok72 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Thanks for the replies!! I am connecting via USB and according to Canon there is an issue with XP reconizing both USB Cameras and Scanners at the same time. One lesson learned for the masses The Canon rep was quick to respond once I gave a system description and also gave this message from windows http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;en-us;Q324756 <keeping my thoughts about paying for beta testing quiet> Hopefully this info will help others in the future and one day my scanner and camera can meet happily in the OS.

Archaon Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I don't use the drivers I got with my camera, since it works with XP just by plug and play using USB (one of the rarities of Windows working...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
