Hi,
I have a Pentax Digital Camera 330RS.I been trying to run it under Win XP Pro but at no luck.XP recognised the camera but can't install the driver.I point XP to install driver from cd that came with the camera under winxp folder but at no luck.I then downloaded the driver from the pentax.com and pentax.com.au and then point XP to those files but still no luck.Funny thing is,it work fine under win98SE installation was a breeze. I rung Pentax and explain the problem but they seem to be uninterested to the issue.Could someone please help. What am I doing wrong??????

Kind Regards

The drivers for XP are specific to XP and apparently Pentax has not bothered to write XP specific drivers. I do not , can not use XP as I have legacy programs that will not work with XP. 70% or more of the programs and games on the market do not correctly work with XP.
Wish you well.

I have heard so many simular instances like yours!
Goto the Microsoft Web site and find out if your Hardware is on the Windows XP compatibillity list. Many things are not compatible in XP, and that may be the root of your problem. I hope you still can return the cam. If you must run it in XP, and it is not compatible then you should consider returning/getting rid of it. Look into getting one that is compatible.
