How do you download pictures from a Sony digital camera with just the usb data cable and not the software using Compaq Presario V2000 Unsure what the op system is Unable to install Sony camera drivers?

Answer:
Normally, even without the driver, your computer should recognise the camera as an external storage drive and assign it a drive letter, just like a hard disk or CD drive.

If you are usng windows XP, try this:

  1. Go to control panel and double click the System icon.
  2. On the Sytem applet, click Hardware tab.
  3. Click on the Device Manager button.
  4. In the Device Manager window, look for any yellow icons with exclamation marks.
  5. If you find such an icon, right click and select Uninstall to remove the offending driver.
  6. Then re-install the original driver that came with your Camera. Remember to connect the camera to the PC only AFTER installing the drivers, or when prompted by the software.

I do hope this solves your problem...:)
