Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom with Windows ME I just purchased the Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom. I run Windows ME. I can't get Windows to recognize my camera. It does see the camera, but not the exact model. I applied the Camedia 2.01 upgrade which promises to fix this... No luck. Any ideas?

Same problems in my C-2100 too David. I was just searching any information about this problem. I think the drivers on the utility CD is nor compatible with ME. I've just upgraded my computer and can't make it see my camera. If you can find a way to fix your camera, let me know.

No help from Olympus either. I purchased a Lexar Digital Film Reader from CompUSA. Just turn off your camera and pop out your SmartMedia card. The drive connects via USB. $50 - it supports "all digital film" and does not kill the batteries on the camera. Make sure you download the upgrade from their Web site. It is not really a solution, but...

Had the very same problem with my Olympus C2040 Zoom. I got no help at all from Olympus. In fact, they tried to convince me that my six week old camera may need repair. Really think the problem is in the software. Solved my problem by purchasing a FlashPath SmartCard Floppy disk adapter for $50.00. You just install their software and then insert your Smart Card into the adapter and then pop it into the floppy drive. It is marvelous! Works like a charm and actually makes the photos much easier to work with and your don't have to worry about cables and wires either.

Two of my friends and I have had the same problems. It seems to be the Camedia software. My solution was to buy a Zio Smartmedia USB card reader off Ebay for under $20.00. This item is so small you can carry it in your camera bag. I've also been able to plug into other Windows 2K machines and have the OS recoginize it as an additional drive, without having to install drivers etc. There is also a Zio Compact Flash Reader... You can read-up on this item and see if it will work for you... hth

Hi David, I had this problem and I can't remeber all the details to fix this, but this is the start this is for ME - on your desktop right click on MY Computer icon...scroll to bottom to properites...left click properties and then left click Device Manager tab...if you have any -'s that is where the problem lies. It seems that I highlighted the problem and the refreshed and/or removed and then reloaded it. Nikon digital hotline talked me through it. If this is your problem also it should be an easy fix with the right steps, but that should at least give you an idea.
