Sony DSCW1 usb problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

Since the problem is more likely than not in the computer or software, how
about the details
Processor, support chipset, USB 1,1.1,2.0 etc.
What OPs system? WinXP? XPSP2? etc.

Did you ever resolve this problem? I'm, getting the same errors but
the happen 100% of the time when the transfer gets to a movie file. I
can get photographs off the camera but not movies.
Thnks,
