Camera and Scanner Does not Load for Camera

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I had same problem with my camera not opening up the wizard when plugged in.
I got the sound and an icon showing I had plugged in, but it just showed as a
USB mass storage device. I was told that "real Player" causes the problem.
I removed real player and my camera works like it should. I plug it in to
USB and XP opens up the camera wizard asking me what to do with photos.
