Hello,

You have to install software to automatically get the pictures from the
camera... the other way is go to My Computer-Then you should have a
removable drive (This is the camera storage space that can be internal or SD
Card or Memory Stick ) and browse and copy the files you want to where you
want....

From XP's point of view, that camera IS removable storage, ie. a disk.

That is exactly what it should do. The camera is nothing more than an
expensive Disk Reader. If you want to use it as a webcam, it will show
up as the camera, but this may require software and/or drivers from your
camera manufacturer.

Make/model of Camera?
Does the camera come with software on CD?
Have you tried reinstalling Camera software?
Is it a USB camera?

A little more info would help!
