I'm also a newbie, but 
The pencil with the ghostbusters logo over it sounds like it is indicating
that you can't write to the disk. No biggie.
You won't be able to run setup.exe because it is a windows program, not a
linux one. The good news is that most cameras can be set up to act as a disk
instead of a camera, so every time you plug in, you'd just browse over to
wherever you mounted the camera.
If you posted some details about your camera, I'm sure someone would be able
to give you directions on how to mount it and how to change the setting on
the camera. 
I know for most HP cameras you can change how the camera acts under the
"setup" menu (of the camera, press ok and scroll down if needed), it is
usually called "USB mode" or something.

Subject: [PDXLUG] Help!

This request comes from a linux user who is not really informed. I can
function well as long as I do not need something out of the ordinary.

I have several CDs with info on them that I cannot get. Most recently, the
CD that came with my new digital camera that I must load to view the
pictures on my computer.

My system will open the CD. However, there is a pencil with a red circle
with a diagonal slash (indicating, I assume, it cannot be downloaded) ---
which, of course, it can't. This is the message I get:

        Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying 
        "/mnt/cdrom/SETUP.EXE".

Can anyone tell me in plain English :-) how to get this resolved?

Thanks much!
Alice
