Canon PowerShot A80 USB Win98SE error

Hi,

a bit of a bizzare one this, that i'm hoping someone may be able to
shed some light on it, or point me in the right direction...

we have 2 Canon PowerShot A80 cameras, and have tried to connect them
both to 2 different windows 98SE PCs (HP/Compaqs). At first we were
getting system errors on docking them, so we updated the bios's on
them and the chipsets to the latest versions. since doing this we
don't get the errors any more, simply nothing happens when we dock the
cameras.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

thanks!

Did you read your manuals? Are you supposed to install any drivers? Is
Windows 98SE Supported by the camera?

Go to Add/Remove programs, and uninstall the software. Now take out the
manual, and follow the instructions about how to re-install the software.

Also take care to read about the necessary specifications of the machine
necessary to run the software and camera. If the machine is too old, this
software may not run correctly.

A shortcut to get the files from the camera is to invest a few dollars, and
buy the USB card reader for the memory card in the camera. Follow the
booklet on how to install the reader.

Turn the power off on the camera, remove the Compact Flash memory card, and
put it in to your reader. You can now look at the reader with Windows
Explorer just as any disk drive. You can copy and past the picture files
from the Compact Flash memory card to a folder on your hard disk. You can
then simply run most any photo editor on your computer to do what you want,
just like any other photo file.

I found that this method was very good for extracting the files from the
Compact Flash memory card.
