RE: Importing Pictures from Canon g9

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I tried the Canon website, but there's no driver for this generation of
camera as it's meant to "plug and play" in Windows XP. The good news is that
I bought a card reader (it was on sale!) and had it working in about 60 secs.
So maybe that's the way you should go, too.

Best Wishes!

Think it has something to do with Christmas!! I'm having the same problem
with a camera my wife has just bought, a Fujifilm. The computer accepts our
Pentax but not this new one. I have tried everything and everywhere for
remedies. I couldn't find any updates/software to fix it on any websites.
Have you tried the manufacturers website??

Hope you get a solution, seems like the best idea is the card reader.

Good luck!

I cannot import pictures directly to my pc from my canon g9 camera, which
uses a sd memory card. The camera is not recognised by windows XP. I have
tried updating the driver, using install hardware wizard, etc with no joy.
it appears that the ptp driver in windows xp for this camera is either
missing or corrupted (error 39 is listed), the camera does not appear in the
list of hardware in the install hardware wizard. I have tried installing a
different camera driver from the list in the wizard, but none of them will
actually load and appear in the cameras and scanners folder, and have a
little exclamation point icon next to them.

i am using windows XP with sp2 and all the necessary windows updates from
the update site. Having read some other threads here, I will be buying a
card reader to see if that works, but i'm half expecting that the pc will not
recognise or read that either. I also have a small sony camera which the pc
has no trouble recognising.

i think i need to re-install the missing or corrupted plug-and-play drivers
for XP but so far i haven't been able to identify where they can be found on
microsoft's huge site.

Sorry for such a long winded question -- any suggestions would be appreciated.
