Update on fays laptop..

Fu(&£d.

its got me stumped and thats saying something..

Open to offers.

1) Windows wont allow the device to be installed as the camera,
2) All drivers have been removed and reinstalled.
3) Forced the device to use the correct drivers & windows keeps changing the drivers back to different device.
4) Removed the drivers(latest ones and original), uninstalled the device, edited the registry to remove all traces of the device. Windows incorrectly installs the device as a USB hub!!!!!!!!!!!
5) tried again, and again, and again, (repeat until bored), still no joy, windows WONT allow the device to be installed as the camera, everything else but.....
6) Re-installing windows seems to be the only trick left.

any ideas.

I had virtually the same thing with an external hub and got so fed up with it I reinstalled XP from scratch.  Not a single hiccup since then.  It's a big step and takes several days to get the thing fully back to a fit state to use but it worked for me.

Fay, will you be writing a book on this when you've finished 

[Fay]

I will do, if I survive the stress & understand it all!!

[Mike]

Where you doing this with it plugged in or on battery?

[Fay]

plugged in

Mac there's a lookup ini file that matches device ID to the drivers. It sounds like that might have been screwed up. I don't have time now to google, but you should be able to find a good copy either on another machine or in the install CABs.

[Mac]

i'll have a look for that and see what we can do,

Although fays pc has never been reinstalled ever

I've said i'll do it for her and get it set up running nicely,
im also going to drop an 80G hard disk in as well.

Fay is £38 +P&p ok. 80G

Mac.

[Fay]

that is fine Mac, whatever you decide to do. Thanks a lot

[Mac]

ok, its ordered, and the cost of p&p was £72.
















Just kidding.
It was free.
Should be here wed or thursday,
I'll partition the drive and try and get most of it set up before we plug it in,
Dont for get to list your software you have. as well as driver disks ect ect.

[Fay]

Will take a couple of valium & sort it out Mac

[Rocket Pooch]

Seems like a lot of trouble for the camera, can I have a go , Fay do you have the origional DMK disk, is this what you used when you plugged it in.

[Mac]

Best of british.

Even the original disk wont install it as a camera, well actually it does, but windows then reinstalls it as something else.
