My computer is completely custom. When I plug in my camera, nothing happens. Zilch.
I've had this same problem with my iPod also (via USB) but it reads my iPod now no problem.
I have all the correct software installed, too. And I tried all of my USB ports, not just this one. Why the heck won't it recognize my camera?
I use this portable USB port thing where it will light up blue if the thing is recognized, but it's not doing that for my camera.
and believe me, its NOT my USB cable I'm using, and it's NOT my camera. The camera is turned on and everything when I'm doing this, but my computer won't even say "unknown device" or ANYTHING at all
You have the latest version of Easyshare software right?
I'ts best to plug the camera directly into a USB port on your computer to debug things.
You can try Start > control panel > Performance and Maintenance > system > Hardware tab > Device Manager > click on your computer icon, then right click and "scan for hardware changes"
It may show up as another disk drive or as a yellow question mark. If the latter, then right click and select "uninstall", then scan for hardware changes again.
Best bet is to simply buy a USB 2.0 SDHC Memory card reader/writer. You will never have to worry about drivers/connections again. They are $10 at places like Walmart/Target/Best Buy or $5 shipped or less from overseas internet dealers.
