I have a problem which many others seem to share, which is that the Scanner
and Camera Wizard has suddenly ceased to appear automatically when
downloading from a camera. Until a few days ago, I could plug my Olympus
into my computer with a USB lead, and a box would crop up offering several
courses of action. I would choose the one which permitted downloading the
camera files to a folder. Next the Scanner and Camera Wizard would pop up,
and after a few clicks, the camera files would be downloaded to my hard
drive, and any unwanted shots would be deleted. I mention all this because
some people appear to think that the Scanner and Camera Install Wizard is
the same thing, but it isn't.
Various cures have been put forward, like uninstalling Real Player 10,
finding wiaacmgr.exe and renaming it to Scanner and Camera Wizard, and
reinstalling the camera. I have tried these without success, and the
wiaacmgr file is not present on either of my XP computers (one Pro, the
other Home). I have also downloaded Autofix.exe, which found nothing wrong,
and tried to persuade Autoplay to do the business. I have also restored to
several different dates, to before the Wizard stopped appearing. (I think.)
And I've done sfc /scannow.
I can download the camera files by other means, but I want the Wizard back!
Does anyone know where it may have gone, or which of the latest critical
updates etc. may have clobbered it? Has Windows Image stuff deleted it?
