Can you explain in details how it does not communicate for download of photos?

[toddy]

usually when you plug your cam in, it will auto detect and you can start downloading into the folder. i usually don install the bundle software that come with the cam. but for the uz, i don seems to be able to do it.

Did you install the Camedia master s/w that comes with the camera???? You have to if not you can't d/l anything; and you'll have to launch the program manually...it won't auto-d/l when you plug in.

By the way. who's the previous owner of the C-2100UZ...I might need to delete his name from the Olympian list.

well guess i need to install the bundle software. BTW i got it from Kam Weng

either install the s/w or use a card reader
