samsung camera driver installation problems help please??

scooper

hi

i have bought a d860 samsung digital camera and went to install cd on to my pc,went through all the installation then it says this:


Cannot install this hardware

error

The driver installation file is missing a entry.
this may be because the INF file was written for windows 95 or later.

Antone have any ideas of how to get this problem sorted??

i have windows ex if that is any help with info??

thanks in advance

Do you actually need a driver? Most modern cameras work fine without IME.

They simply pop-up as a removable drive in the file manager/explorer & you ship-out the files from there.

ooo lost me a bit there sorry!

i put cd in that came with camera,first time i have done this as last camera i had i couldnt connect to pc either so maybe its me! went to ''my compute and found disk on there.
then the wizard came on to find place to put it etc,then connected camera to pc,pc came up found new hardware but when i tries to move photos over that message came up.

what other way could i do it then please?

According to the Samsung website, the driver is for Windows 98, so unless you're running that, you shouldn't need one:

Just buy a card reader if your computer doesn't have one fitted, no software required.

Pop your camera card in to card reader, sorted.

Your camera uses an SD card, You need an sd card reader, similar to- http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_2&products_id=102820 insert into usb slot with the card from the camera inserted, and there you go. Alan

Yes, your pictures are on your card, not your camera.
