Hi. When you installed the camera for the first time was the software for it already installed? If not then a generic driver would have been loaded. I would go to "Start> Control panel> System> Hardware> Device manager> ". Find the listing for your camera and uninstall it. Reboot. Install the CD and load the programs which will include the proper driver. THEN hook up the camera. Good luck!

First thing is to uninstall the driver. Then try to reinstall it and follow the instructions given by the install program exactly. If the CD doesn't automatically start up, go to my computer, locate the hard drive and look for a file called setup.
Alternately, uninstall the driver, then plug in the camera and follow the instructions from Windows to install drivers for new hardware.
