Simple solution - buy a Mac or better yet, do we have someone volunteering to write all the drivers and design the hardware for our system? (in case someone thinks I am serious, I am not)
By the way, I don't work for Apple anymore before anyone says anything.
But I do have too much experience helping others trying to get their cameras hooked up and working reliably on the PC side. And no, this is not an offer to help. I don't do Windows anymore :) Just QL and Macs.
Cheers, jim

Hmm sorry to add to your woes, but I have a totally different story... I took
my digicam & digi camcorder to my recent vacations. I took picures & "films"
of my children skiing, brought them home, plugged both in: the digicam (USB)
was recognized as a removable disk and I just pulled all of the pictures off
it into the laptop and was able to display them there.
The camcorder was plugged in via firewire, I again just pulled everything off
it with some (free) MS software called movie something.
Both worked first time.
I do admit that this was the first time I was impressed by anything windows
related (and the family was suitably impressed).
I'm probably just lucky. I didn't install any kind of driver or anything, not
even the software that came with the devices - but it was XP SP2..Absolutely identical situation with my Canon Powershot G5.
Incidentally, Dilwyn, you should be able to plug in the camera's storage
card into, say, a 6x1 reader and copy the photos from there.
My Canon's PCMCIA card is added automatically as a drive under XP. This
should be the same for any standard card, needing no added drivers.
Multi input cards readers are very cheap, if your PC/laptop doesn't come
with any.
