Ixus V, WinXP and installation

[magnoz]

Hi,

found a few threads about this but I cannot solve my problem so I make another post about this....

I'm running Windows XP and have a Canon Digital IXUS V.

I tried to install the whole package of software from the CD (ZB, USB-driver etc) and I also tried to use the "k1a9_ukx"-package, which I downloaded from Canon.

I'm pulling my hair and crying oceans!!!

It seems to me that my stuff just decided to not cooperate.

Hm.

My XP version is swedish so I want to use the english drivers for my IXUS, that is connected to my USB port.

I tried so many things now...
but I can't get closer than this:

1) XP says that camera is installed and ready to use.
2) When trying to use it I get the error message telling me that my camera isn't connected.

So very annoying!

Maybe is my computer a bit messy now.... tried to find some uninstall info but failed.
Is there a way to check that everything is gone?
(I uninstalled all software and also the camera in device manager)....?

Am I right when I am trying to use the TW_USB-drivers and not the WIA_USB-drivers?

Uh, don't know what to do...

Please please please help....?

One thing off the top of my head, Is your camera on? Your camera must be turned on and in play mode. At least that is the way it is with my a40.

Yep, it's on and in play mode.

It worked well with my old computer, also an XP running one..... but whit this, my new computer... neh.

Annoying.

My only other USB device is an Wacom tablet, which I'll remove and then give my camera another try.
