I don't know where else to turn.
I've got a Canon SD630 that was working tickety-boo until my XP-reinstall. It used to downlaod my pix right to a date-named folder as soon as I turned my camera on. It was a b eautiful thing to behold.
Now, after my reinstall, I can't my pictures at all. Any 'get picture' mpthod I use tells me 'The scanner or camera is in use by another progam. Try again later.'
I've tried
- rebooting XP in safe mode to defeat any conflicting drivers (when I do this, my camera doesn't come up as a drive at all.)
- the 'transfer' button on the camera (nothing)
- looking for drivers online, starting with Canon. They don't even list an XP driver. Though they do list ME and 98 drivers (which didn't work).
- Driver Detective, which reports that my Distigal Still Camera driver is, in fact, up-to-date.
- forums to see if other people have had the same problem. So far, I've found lots of people who've had the same problem, but none whose method worked for me.
Help?
