Plugged in the camera (USB) Can't find the driver...won't even let me select it. I know it's a cheapie, but, c'mon. I'm doing all the right things. (muffled expletives) Smile, Amy

It's possible there's a conflict, but my guess is whatever the problem is it's not easy to fix by poking around there. USB is a lot more problematic than it should be. You could try a different version of the driver. Google should help you find one. HTH a bit. Good luck. Cheers, Scott.
