Normally, I can get my photos uploaded from my Digital camera.
The model is a Vivicam 4345, 4.0 megapixel.

The computer cant reconise that the USB is plugged in, I have the lead plugged into the USB port, and into my camera, my camera is switched to settings and has been tuned on, yet when I go to 'My Computer' the 'removable hardwear' icon isnt there, so I cant transfer my files

Please help!!
Thanks (link)
It may be that your camera is trying to grab a drive letter that is not available.

Try this:

(1) Right-click on the "My Computer" icon and bring up the Manage console. You'll need to be an administrator to do this.

(2) Click on Disk Management.

(3) See if your camera is there. If it is, check the drive letter. If it's the same as another existing drive, you've found the problem - here's how to fix it:

(4) Right-click the camera drive, either in the top half of the window or the bottom half, and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

(5) Change the drive letter to one that is not in use.

(6) Close everything. Your camera should be available under the new drive letter.


If that doesn't work, then odds are it's a hardware problem. Try using a different USB cable or a different port on the computer. Make sure your camera battery is fully charged. If you can, try plugging someone else's camera into your computer and see if it works.
