Sorry this response is so delayed - I just got a P72 myself and found this
thread when Googling for newsgroup info about it.
Sounds to be like XP isn't behaving itself when it comes to either its PTP
driver or perhaps Windows Image Acquisition (WIA, which runs as a service).
You do have another option, though. On the camera, put it into Set-Up mode
and head down to the "Setup 2" page. Select the "USB Connect" item and
change it from "PTP" to "Normal".
Now reconnect the camera to the computer, and XP should detect a USB
storage device. After a bit of driver installation (only the first time
around) the camera's memory stick should show up in My Computer as a drive
called "Sony Memory Stick". You can then browse the stick as though it was
a drive. You don't get the hand-holding of the scanner and camera wizard,
but in return you'll find images copy faster and, of course, you have
complete control over where to put them :) On my machine, too, the PTP mode
won't allow me to delete images off the camera from the computer; in
"normal" mode I can do so just as though it was a normal hard disk.
By the way, this is with XP Service Pack 1, and an NEC USB 2.0 adapter.
