My digital camera won't let me transfer files to the memory card from the computer unless I update the drivers for the camera which is fine with me but my wife likes the default windows drivers which are easier for her. My question is this. Can I set up each user account to load a different driver for the camera? If so, how? I have Windows XP Pro and the camera is a Kodak CX6330.

Now you making sense to me & quick answer is no, even though there will be 2+ accounts on 1 PC, the system files will be the same throughout all the accounts so changing the drivers on one account changes them on all. There should be a way though to have the camera as a removable storage device & still get that picture transfer wizard, I just cant remember how at the moment cause it's how I have it on my pc with my dv-cam.

Yeah that'd work great but when I try and use the scanner and camera wizard with the new drivers it shows up as a removable drive and does not show up in the wizard. All I see is the scanner. I guess I'll just keep trying different things until I figure it out.

win xp? hmm, thats not the drivers thats just how windows recagnises it, if you have win xp you should get a pop up that gives you the optinos of how to act when that device is installed. your anser is yes and no, wile you can only really use one driver (per say) you can have it react differantly for each user.

This is not making much sence, I think the propble is not the drver but something else, why wont it let you trans the files, can you even view them? It should always let you view it as if it was a storage device, just open it in the my computers folder. if it does not recognise it then update the drivers and change the settings to what you want.

might help if i know what camera, if its usb or if you have a card reader, etc.

Yes it is drivers. Windows XP still uses them. Yes I can view them and transfer them from the camera but not from the computer to the camera.

What settings are you talking about changing?

Camera is Kodak CX6330 USB. No I don't have a card reader.


I think I'm just going to have to tinker with it to get it to work the way I want.
