Thanks Optimist

Having random Pc problems - I've jus noticed the Hard disc light is just about visible - I take it this is not good? Could this indicate a internal power supply problem or hard drive problems?

It could be a dodgy LED or something more serious but I wouldn't worry about it unless there are other problems.

Optimist thanks - and there are :-( I'll try and post later.

I'm being urged to install IE7. Has anyone any experience of it and/or any issues with it before I proceed?

Thanks. G.

been using it without problems for over a week now - just a matter of re learning where everything is and adjusting to the multi tab window format but I've not had any difficulties. Bon Nadal

I'm using Windows XP Pro. When I switch on it has against my ID the number of programs running and the number of unread EMail messages, which is usually wrong. How do I stop the EMail count appearing.

Greystone. I've been running IE7 in Beta for a few months and now with 'pukka' version. Only problems have been with other sites that couldn't use it. Bt/Yahoo mail and RBS come to mind, but they've both said that they are now compatible.

Finding my way around Explorer 7 but cannot find way of saving or filing a page into my documents. Grateful for help

You may need to get to the file menu. Hit the Alt key or F10.

It was like "Looking for a needle" Haystacks - but both of your suggestions work - I am most grateful - thank you - Merry Christmas and a profitable New Year to you

Hi,

I have just encountered a problem opening my camera transfer software, which will not open anymore. I cannot transfer photos from the camera to the PC.

I get an error message Error 0x80040707.
I have googled this and not knowing much about computer I am not sure how to tackle this problem.

I run Registry Mechanic, but that wont fix the problem.
Any basic help would be appreciated.

Cheers Ron

Are you running XP? It will usually recognise most cameras that have USB connections and treat them as a storage device. You may have to reinstall the driver for the camera which probably came on a CD.

To be honest I never use the transfer software. I just plug the camera in and use the file manager and copy from the camera's file system.

I agree with Haystack, Using XP there is no need to run camera software - it's a simple file transfer. If that doesn't work, you could always get one of those card readers and slot the card into that - that would give you the same file transfer options.

I am running XP.
I have tried and cannot re-install the driver or anything from the CD, it just gives the error message 0x80040707.
The camera does not have a USB connection.

The problem didnt exist until a few days ago, all was well, but something has gone wrong, and now it wont work at all.

Have you tried downloading the latest version of the software from the internet?

Cheers, I will give it a go SC.

Can you use other USB devices on the PC? Check System, Hardware, Device manager and look at USB ports and see if they are working alright.

All my other USB devices work.

I cannot find the appropriate software to download, from the Olympus site. Its not listed.

The strange thing is that I have 2 CD's for 2 Olympus cameras, both have slightly different software, and not one of them will install. I have even removed the existing software, using Control Panel/ remove/add software.

I dont understand the error message 0x80040707.
