royco Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 On w2k3 the digital camera/device installed doesnt appear on the control panel as it would on windows XP.Any Ideas how to enable it?Thanks
gamehead200 Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Probably because w2k3 is supposed to be used as a SERVER and not a WORKSTATION!
Flash Posted July 26, 2003 Posted July 26, 2003 Gamehead does have a point there, lol...Maybe try contacting the manufactor's...
royco Posted July 29, 2003 Author Posted July 29, 2003 Yes I know its a server but it doesnt mean i cant connect a camera to it and try to view it from MY computer.Anybody else got ideas?
Drewdatrip Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 try using the add hardware feature, see if it detects on the usb bus.|Drew|
vcant Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 i think its something they did to win2k3, i have the same thing, all the imaging hardware installs and works fine, but does not appear on the 'Scanners and Cameras' tab in control panel.
XTRALONG Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Yes I know its a server but it doesnt mean i cant connect a camera to it and try to view it from MY computer.Anybody else got ideas?Did you do read the How to convert your Windows Server 2003... to a Workstation!?Read 1º!
voxtek Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Go to Start -> Run -> and type in Services.msc and scroll down until you find the "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) ", double click on Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) and select startup type Automatic -> Apply -> Start -> OK.Now install the drivers for your Camera, Webcam, or Scanner!

Yes Ive read the guide and turned on the required services alreadyJust like vcant said the devices installs and runs fine it just doesnt appear in the my computer window, its actually something minor, i just want to know why it doesnt show up like in XP
darkkavenger Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 It doesn't appears there because this is a Server operating system. It's like, you don't expect to get an MP3 Autoradio with 6-CD charger in a battle tank, or suspensions in a boat. That would be pointless.

It's like, you don't expect to get an MP3 Autoradio with 6-CD charger in a battle tank, or suspensions in a boat. That would be pointless.lolthats true, but why they kept the 'Scanners and cameras' tab in the control panel then?does that mean that there is a place to put the CD-changer in a tank, but it just doesn work properly??
darkkavenger Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 That means you can add one if you want, but it's not supposed to be there
vcant Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 but the whole problem is that i cannot add anything to the tab, the hardware works fine, but doesnt show up..anyway, i think the conversation is becoming quet pointless, and win2k3 user will just have to do without it...
darkkavenger Posted August 17, 2003 Posted August 17, 2003 I've to give it a check, but my scsi agfa scanner was recognized without too much troubles ...
