Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital, others (more info?)

We have an old Win98se desktop that we still use to transfer files
and act as a main storage and print server
for all the other WiFi XP laptops in the house.

We have a new compact Canon SD1000 digital camera,
but it will not function/open on Win98se via USB.
We rarely install the "software bundle"
and merely want the USB driver, so the camera opens as a USB "drive".
This works fine for all the flash drives in the house,
along with our old Olympus digital cameras via their USB cables.

Anyone been able to access the Canon SD1000 using Win98se USB,
without resorting to using an external card reader ?

Looking at the Manual that came with my SD1000, it looks like
you need at least XP, or Windows 2000 plus a Pentium 500 or higher.

I would doubt any new camera comes with 98 drivers!!

Canon digicams usually don't work as USB drives under Win98SE;
typically, you must install the TWAIN or USB driver along with the
software bundle (ZoomBrowser). My year-old SD700IS works fine with
Win98SE with TWAIN+ZoomBrowser, so you may have to just install the
software that came with the camera.

I have not. But given how cheap external card readers
are, why not spend the few bucks and solve your problem
the easy way?

Try the generic Maximus Decim NUSB driver set:
