lacelady Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Having problems downloading pictures from my Nikon 4300 camera since a major XP update last week.Usually. the Scanner & Camera Wizard pops up once I've connected the camera to the USB port - but since the update, nothing.BUT have just found that I can get my pictures transferred via "My Computer" through the removeable drive icon - but I want the Scanner & Camera Wizard back!I've also uninstalled Picasa and Webshots as they seemed to over-ride the XP Wizard in the past.Also, can I have a desktop icon for the Scanner & Camera wizard?Any ideas, anyone?Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I had the same problem with a Canon camera.I uninstalled the driver, rebooted, and reinstalled everything, and it worked.But if you have system restore, you should restore your system at the state it was last week... who wants an update that mess it all ???

Jeremy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The culprit - REALPLAYER - downloaded a few days ago to listen to BBC Radio online. Now uninstalled and the Scanner & Camera Wizard is back That makes absolutely no sense. I can't see how those two are related. I think maybe you just killed two birds with one stone.

Lazy8 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I haven't installed Realplayer for years, primarily for this reason. Their software is notorious for taking a broad selection of audio and image file associations. This used to happen only upon installation, and it was possible to reassign them manually. Looks like they're grabbed anew each time the program runs. Real is simply too annoying to live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
