View Full Version : Re: Camera not detected

I am having the same problem! The card shows up fine but will not detect my
Sony TVR340. I saw this problem in the knowledgebase
here:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329256

is this fix free?, Are the updated drivers in SP1? SP1 didn't fix my problem.

I had the same exact problem. I finally called Microsoft
for $35 and got it fixed. I had to install Windows Media
player version 9. I only had version 8 on my machine.
Now it works fine! My camera is a Sony TVR 340 or 350.

Good luck to you.

Kent,
thanks for the info.
I have Windows Media Player V9.0 installed, but it still does not work!!!
I also have every patch/update/SR etc known to man, but it still DOESN'T
WORK!!!
I have also tried a rebuild from scratch testing the camera at every step
along the way to see if I could identify what is causing the problem. The
camera didn't work after a basic, raw with nothing added, WinXP install!
AAHHHHH.....
Linux is so much easier!!!!.
Ian..
