Need Help

[Paul Gerrard]

Just purchased a D2000 great camera if a little dated. Im now trying to connect firewire to my laptop and windows is not playing ball Running windows XP. i think i might need a driver or perhaps the cable is wrong (6pin - 4pin) i think the original was 6-6 but my laptop firewire port is 4 pin any help on configuration greatly appreciated......

The cable's unlikely to be the problem 6-4 and 4-6 FireWire are fairly standard. The problem's most likely that the camera pre-dates WXP and finding a WIA driver for it will be next to impossible. It doesn't show up on the Windows Hardware Compatibility List for either W2K or XP.

why not just get a card reader. It makes life SO much easier.

Thanks but just when things were getting difficult i went to the Kodak website and my life was saved, Drivers for XP available there

It was the WIA rout i followed which led me there thanks again
