Please oh please with a cherry on the top, is there anyone who is a bit good with these damn machines??!!
get comfy and I'll tell you all about it :D
I am finally trying to load my fugipix 2600z(camera) software on the pc (yes I know I bought it eons ago, I been busy) and the **$$@#&$@## thing won't load properly, tells me it can't find 'USBNTMAP.SYS'
and 'USBSTOR.SYS' so being half intelligent I look in the troubleshooting bit and it tells me to insert my windows disk, so I do, still tells me it can't find them!!! (system running M.E BTW)
So now I'm right up the raging creek without a damn paddle and I can't swim!!!
Somebody please tell me what to do, apart from sticking pc in Bill Gates nether regions I don't have a clue!lol
I know I need these files but don't know where to find them( feel like little Bo Peep) or what to do with them when i do!!
This is getting desperate, as not only will Bill be feeling uncomfortable in the nether region, so will hubby as that is where I'll insert his stupid camera!!
Jue-tired and emotional and thoroughly p'd off in Wiltshire!!

Hiya julie
have you ran the fuji disc first?

hi Liz,
Yup!! loaded Fuji disk, error message flashes up so fast whilst it's loading the driver that you can't read it!!
The finepix Viewer and the VideoImpression progs load fine, but when i connect the camera and it tries to install it it can't find the 2 files.
I've ran a search on the win ME disk and they're not on there either :(
I want my Muuuuuuuummmmmmyyyyyyy :(
Jue- still p'd off and getting dangerously close to binning the whole lot!!!!!!

What edition of windows are you running?

Pam

Hi pam
it's Millenium Edition, it was pre loaded so I have what they call a recovery disk.

Have you tried system restore --its in accessories -restore the system to before you started and then try again from the beginning and don't plug anything in untill the programme is installed
Liz :)

Tried that one Lizzy :(
didn't work, have also tried going into System and Device Manager and updating the driver but that don't work either :(
have swore at it ,threatened to pull it's plug out and insert it in it's hard drive!! but it don't wanna know!!!!!!!!!!

Julie,

This is a silly question is the camera Mil edition compatible, I think it is bt best check.

I have the FP2300 and the FP2800Z digital cameras and had no probs once I put the disk in. I am running XP.

Pam

says it is compatible Pam, anything above win95 (allegedly)
I feel an upgrade coming on :D that will serve hubby right and line mr Robbin' b@##$*d Gates pocket a bit more.
jue, -still and ever so slight lol

You Don't want to hear this Julie :-0 but it is probably something simple LOL.

Pam

Lol Pam, the only simple thing is me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just sent hubster across to Office world(that'll teach him to work opposite) to check on XP upgrade!!!!
Jue :D

Julie,

Try looking for missing files here C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS
Right click on start and open explore then have a look around.

Karen

thanks Karen,
tried that, found lots of other USB...Sys file but not the 2 I want :(
Hubby has just phoned to say he's bought XP upgrade :D but is only bringing it home if I promise not to blame him if it don't solve the problem ;) poor hubby, well he is now ,bloody £90 poorer!!!
fingers crossed that it works
Jue

Hi Jue
Melodys hubby is a whizz on computers, but you might have to bribe him with chocolate cake :D

Julie, you can download the 2 drtvers you need from http://www.usbman.com/WinME%20USB%20Guide.htm
Sorry haven't worked out the link thing yet. Ingrid

Ingrid, :D
You are an absolute angel :D hubby might not agree as he's just gone and bought me the XP upgrade, but Hey, it's Christmas, can't be a scrooge all year can he?!
Will let you know in about 15 mins whether it's worked or whether I've blown the pc up!!!!!!! lol
Jue

lets just say........... small boom.......... not fatal but very slightly wounded,
Jue

Sis

Wouls love to help.....NOT !!!! :D

I have the same trouble with my digital camera, I haven't a clue how to connect it up and what to do :(

So when you get yours sorted, I think you will need a nice holiday in Jersey, and then you can come and do mine !!!:D

Nat

Yep, hubby would love a digi camera. It mystifies me, though, since he doesn't like dealing with the easy/nice one we've had. I do all of the photos :rolleyes: But this has been one of his greatest 'wants' for several years....not with our dinasaur, though :rolleyes: I'd be the one trying to make it work on here, not him. :P
That's why in the Spring, we hope to get a completely new system with everything in a complete package at once!!!!! It would also be on warranty where I could call everyone one up to walk me through any problems!!!!! :D :D

Lol Nat :D
well I got it working at about 10 last night, and by then was too fed up to really try it all and see what it can do!!
Sent Steve back with the XP upgrade!! don't want to risk completely killing the pc trying to load that on as well I like computers....... they just don't seem to like me!! I'm one of those poeple that get electric shocks off the car if I'm wearing the wrong shoes!! I'm pretty good at giving them to other people as well, imagine what I do to the pc!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Jue

I'm lucky, my digi camera came with a choice of connecters & we chose not to use a USB port so it worked straight away, but I have heard of loads of people having the same problems Julie so you are not alone.
I spoke to someone about the XP upgrade too and they would not recommend it, said you need to go for the full programme otherwise it can cause a multitude of problems.
Ingrid

Your too emotionally charged sis !!! :D lol

I dont even want to think about sorting out my digi camera, my dad reckons its easy :rolleyes:

Nat
xx

I am very lucky ...quite by chance I found a wonderful solution to my many problems with my old digital camera and the uploading the pics etc ....when I upgraded my PC I bought a Sony Vaio ...and hubby also bought me a Sony digital camera. The camera has a *memory stick* ..I take the piccies ...remove the memory stick ..pop the memory stick into the PC (theres a special little place at the front) and BINGO! The piccies get downloaded in about 10 seconds :D

Melody

Show off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Touch wood..... all seems to be working ok at the moment, of course now I've said that it will explode in spectacular style later and I'll be a smoking heap in the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

If that happens ...take piccy and send it to me LOL

:D :D

Melody

oooo this sounds all to much for my tiny brain!!!! I know who I will call on if I get stuck Ingrid!!!!! :D Julieann

I used to work for TINY.... so the best thing to do is go to the fuji website and download the drivers for your camera that are compatible with M.E.... If memory serves me there is a glitch with the software that came with some of the cameras and they only loaded on 98 and XP.... (dont quote me on that)

the fuji site is quite good it explains what to do and how to do it quite well you should be OK
:-)

Digital cameras - "Photography Made Easy"

LOLOLOLOLOLOL:D

Sticking to my Pentax P50, methinks. OK, I have to send the films off, but I get them back on CD as well as on paper. As the photo CD has an autoinstall program on it, no problem at all.

I have a favourite saying, which fits here:
"Not all progress is good progress!"

Twilight Zone happy dinosaur
:D

OI!

Read all the posts you ! Mine is an easy one :D

I do agree with the saying though ;) Hubby still mourns the fact that women were given the vote :D

Melody

Geeess!!!! Melody, I didn't know that. When did they give women the vote? How do they unchain themselves from the kitchen sink? to get to the polling booth.
:(
