Running XP sp2 on an IBM Thinkpad A31p, and having problems connecting a
digital camera to the USB ports.
The machine has two USB 1.1 ports both of which seem to work fine as I can
run a USB mouse off either.
A couple of days ago I bought a digital still camera. The camera uses
CompactFlash memory cards, and has a USB port and cable for transferring
photos to the computer.
I can copy photos from the CompactFlash card to the computer, but I can't
copy anything from the computer to the CF card (I need to do that as there's
a firmware upgrade for the camera). The device shows as a digital camera in
Windows Explorer, but I'm not able to copy to it.
I was advised to buy a USB CF card reader which I did today. The device is
recognized by Windows, but Explorer doesn't give it a drive letter, so I
can't copy to or from it.
I'm stumped. The USB ports word, but two separate devices which should have
been recognized by Windows and given drive letters were not recognized.
Help!?!
