!!XP installs my USB camera as disk drive!!

Plugging in my camera (Nikon Coolpix 775) as per
instructions doesn't do as expected - and as my old cpu
did (also running XP).

For some reason it auto detects the hardwear incorrectly
and is then listed under removable drive in the device
manager.

Try to update driveer to the right camera version but it
won't let me as it says the driver isn;t the right one
for that device type! Arggggh! Please help,

Hmm, well this is a mass storage (MS) camera, so it should show up as a
drive in Explorer. (I'm not sure what your old cpu did.) Since MS is part of
the XP operating system, there is no driver to install. I believe the camera
comes with software, but am not sure if Nikon shipped a TWAIN driver with
this device or not. If your manual says the device ships with a TWAIN
driver, then I'm sure the firmware on the camera allows you to switch
between the two modes: mass storage or TWAIN.)

good luck!
