Devices not showing in My Computer.

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

Posted this in Hardware a while ago, but with no responses so thought I'd try
here.


I purchased a new digital camera and plugged it in a USB port.
While I get the "New hardware detected" sound, it does not show up in My
Computer as a device with removable storage. I have drives A thru I showing
but no Drive J. (But it does show in Control Panel /Portable Media devices.)

Info:
I am the Computer Administrator. I have 4 other Limited Accounts for the
rest of the family. When I plug the camera in on any of these Limited
Accounts it is recognised and shows up as Drive J.


My question is, why does it not show in My Computer as Drive J when I am
logged on with an Admin account, but shows in the 4 Limited accounts?

I've been through Help & Support, but to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Incidentally, this also applies to any USB storage device.
