I upgraded to WIndows XP PRO with SP2 (no re-format). Everything is OK except
that when I connect my camera or my MP3 player to a USB port, they don’t show
on “my computer”. Prior to the upgrade they showed all right.
The camera is OK (checked in another computer)
USB Port is OK (I connected a printer and it showed all right).
Now here is the fun part:
When I turn on the camera, its red light flashes on and off for several
seconds. then, I get a “new device” message but nothing on “My computer”.
I checked Control panel –>system –>hardware –>Device manager –> USB
Controllers –>USB mass storage –> properties (right click) and got:
status: the device is working properly
location: 0 (C7070WZ)
C7070WZ is my camera model number. (this camera doesn’t need a special
driver. It is classified as: autoconnect USB)
WHen I turn the camera OFF the USB mass storage driver disappears and when I
turn the camera ON, it comes back.
Right click on “My computer” and then “manage” and then “Disk Management” and I see the camera but no drive letter allocated to it. I assigned a letter and was able to communicate with the camera but after power off the drive letter is not maintained.
There is also a small problem with the “All in one” printer (also a USB device). In order to print I have to turn it OFF and then back On and only then will it respond.
MAybe a problem with the USB driver? How can I erase it from the hard drive and re-install it from the Windows CD?
Maybe other good advices?
I’ll appreciate any help.
Thanks
