mike13 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I am running Windows 10. I "USED" to attach a cable from my Olympus SZ-31mr digital camera to my computer (USB) connection. File Explorer would recognize the camera and call it Drive F. Under that I would see, DB, under that I would see DCIM, under that I would see 100OLYMP. if I then left clicked on 100OLYMP, I would open all the pictures that were on the memory card in the camera. A while back I had to format the computer and reinstall everything. Now when I attach that cable, File Explorer recognizes the camera as Drive F, as before. Then I see DB, as before, then I see DCIM as before. But that is the end. I do not see 100OLYMP like I did before. If I click on the last folder DCIM, it tells me that folder is empty. NOW...I do have an adapter, that if I take the memory card out of the camera, and then put the card into this adapter, and then plug the adapter (USB) connection to the camera, I see everything like I did before. But that is extra work and I do want to keep removing the card etc. It was so nice to just attach the cable and then see all the pictures. I have two other computer also running Windows 10, and they both work like before. It is just the computer that I formatted that does not work like it did. Any suggestions ?

jaclaz Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 What you report is really strange. I could understand if you could not see any folder in drive F: (which could be some misconfiguration related to the card format) or if you couldn't have F: at all, but you can access the top level folder and then inside it you cannot find the actual photos (files) is perplexing. Try the following as a test. 1) on one of the Windows machines that "sees" files inside \db\dcim\100OLYMP copy to the F: drive two files (any small sized .txt file will do), one in \db\dcim\ and one in db\dc\100OLYMP\ folders 2) move the camera to the non-working machine and verify you can (or cannot) see those two files Another thing that you can try is to clean the system from all USB devices (see here): but it applies to different symptoms. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
