Usually, I just plug in the usb cord from my camera and a prompt will come up and ask me if i want to copy these files to a cd, or view them in the fujifilm viewer, or just through regular windows picture viewer what have you blah blah but now the only thing that happens is a noise to confirm it's connected and the icon to safely remove hardware. I went to the website and I downloaded their USB drivers but it hasn't changed anything.

Does anyone know or have any idea of what the glitch is?

It's not because I ate one of the kittens alive, is it? He was too adorable for me not to eat! It's not my fault!

Hmmm, actually we need more info.

Remember the last time it worked properly? And the first time it didn't?

Can you say what changed on your computer between those two times? Or
better yet, did you change any settings in the software that snarfs the
images from your camera? Or that presents you with those options when
you jack in?

Eating one of the kittens probably didn't have anything to do with it, that
usually only jams up the time-of-day clock.

It's highly debatable. Both possibilities are presented. I personally like to think that it was a mix of the two, and you can't be quite sure which one each situation was.

You could try setting up a personal ftp/http server on one of your machines, and then you could get one of those linksys routers and mod it and throttle the traffic on whatever port your server runs on so it won't eat all your bandwidth.

Smash your feet, God is obviously mad at you for your sins. You must sacrifice yourself for the greater good, or your digital camera pics.

I don't think it's a computer glitch. You should still be able to get to the camera's data if it's being recognized by the system.

Oh. So everyone was talking about the movie? I haven't seen that, I've only read the book. And I never liked the "strictly shallow" interpretation, it just seems so limiting and whiny and preachy. The other two possibilities (the cover-ups and the it-never-happened) are better.

Yes (but some people make it a PITA).

In the simplest case, you can just look at the source of the web page and find the url for the movie (look for something .swf (for flash), .wmv, .mov, .mpg, etc).

In that case, all you have to do is copy the url to your browser's address bar, hit enter and then File->Save.

If you're on a *nix box or you have something like Cygwin installed in Widows, you can use curl or wget (I'm guessing you don't so won't bother with the instructions; let me know if you need them).

If you're trying to download something with a url that's been obfuscated, it's a bit more of a hassle (sometimes you can still find the url in Javascript but, if not, I've found that it's usually easiest to use a packet sniffer to get it; let me know if you need instructions for that - it's not very hard).

SH - did you ever figure out your camera?

If not, there's a lot of stuff you could try but the first thing I'd do is roll back your USB and camera drivers (if you're in XP and didn't disable it, it's pretty easy; otherwise, I think you can just go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager and find your USB ports, remove the drivers and then reinstall them from the CD/DVD or from Microsoft over the internet).

I know you tried reinstalling the camera's software but (if you haven't yet) you might want to try uninstalling it then reinstall it from scratch.

Anyway, I suspect that if you completely remove everything then start over, you'll find it magically working again.

Unhhh, best if you're using a real browser like Firefox, right? Like, with tabs and all?

Hmmm, almost a topic for a new thread about browsers but i won't start one.

Somebody? The question would be: Does anybody here on TLC (except for junior college types) still use MS Internet
