Question about 'Troubleshooting Driver Problems'
Tuesday, April 2, 2002 at 2:30 am
Posted by mick bollands (2 messages posted)

I have a question about Troubleshooting Driver Problems:

I am trying to install a digital camera I have installed the software for it and when I come to install the driver the add new hardware wizard stops responding at the point where it searches for the windows driver. It finds the driver from the disc that came with the camera I click on it and click next and thats when the windows driver folder appears and it stops responding. I've tried re installing windows me and ive gone through the device manager and it shows the device to be there but with a yellow exclamation mark on it ,Ive clicked on properties and update driver and I just get back to the wizard and my origonal problem....please help

So plug the camera in, re-boot and allow the plug and play to pick up on your camera. That is all that I can think of, if the driver is already shown in the driver management window. Once the driver is in, PlugNplay needs to know it is actually there. Ian. chattan@worldonline.be (You have done? Sorry!;- )

In these types of situations it is almost always necessary to go to the manufacturer's website and look for troubleshooting information. Most likely, the driver you are trying to install is outdated or written for a different OS. C.J.

I have solved the problem with this fix.
I have also taken advice to update to directX 8.1 and installed this before I installed 
my camera.
It all works now !!!!!!! yipeeee
