Yeah, I know it's old, but it suits my purpose. I just upgraded to XP from
W2K (see, I like old stuff) and I can't get the camera installed. Not only
from the installation CD, but from drivers downloaded from the Internet.
The driver is A40WI410EN.exe, and is described as a driver for Windows
ME/XP. I also have a driver that is described as for Windows 98/2000.
Neither works.

What happens is that the driver installation finishes up, and I am told the
installation will continue when I plug the camera in. But, it doesn't.
Nothing happens.

I tried using the wizard and pointing it to the .inf files in the
installation folders, but that doesn't work, either.

I had a time getting it installed in W2K as well - same problem. I can't
remember what I did to solve it - too long ago.

Ideas?

Yes

Buy a card reader, they are cheap and faster than copying from the camera, and there is never any danger of the battery going flat during download.

Absolutely right, Roy G. I believe that I paid $5 for mine several years ago, but a dollar was worth a dollar back then. You can still get decent ones for $10, though. The OP won't need one that accepts 10,000 types of cards or one that operates at blinding speed. I use only CF and SD cards, and download speed has never been an issue for me. The slowest readers ever made are still faster than one-hour photo shops.
