I want to down load and view my G2 photos in Microsoft Windows NT via USB. I don't see any mention of the OE Software being compatible. Any alternative methods?

I don't think NT supports USB...

Nope. NT does not have USB support.

Hi,

I have responded to this via the G2 forum but I believe that the WIA driver should be used for USB connection in NT.

Here is Canon's info on the WIA driver:

WIA stands for Windows Imaging Acquisition. The Windows Imaging Acquisition package is an integral part of Windows Me and Windows XP (the WIA features are not available in Windows 98 or Windows 2000). Using a WIA Driver (similar in function to the Twain Driver) with Windows Me or Windows XP provides two advantages: (1) when you connect your camera to the computer, it will give you the option of download pictures using the Windows Scanners and Cameras Wizard, which will start automatically in Windows Me, and (2) your camera will show up in Windows Explorer as another storage device on the "tree" on the left side of the screen. It will show a camera icon and will be displayed below your hard drive and CDROM drive. As such, you will be able to see a list of the image files stored in your camera, and you may transfer them out as you would from any drive.
