My panasonic lumix camera won't connect to my PC anymore since installing windows 7 RC, it used to work fine on XP via usb cable

Any ideas? Its so annoying I can't get photos off my great camera

Install the Drivers for the camera? Have you istalled the chipset drivers for your motherboard since upgrading to Win7?

Have you tried just using the card via a card reader?

I've tried my card reader yeh, no joy

As for camera software, you usually don't even need it in usb mode to offload pics.

Chipset drivers I haven't touched, I got a new mobo and just whacked Win7 on, do I need to install something additionally?

Yes, The chipset drivers for the mother boards controlls the USB interfaces.

When you go to control panel>Hardware>Devices. Do you have any with a yellow warning sign next to them?

Or are your USB ports name been named strangely?

yeh there are two with a yellow exclamation mark next to them, under

Other devices\ Unknown device

USB ports, well there are many of them, but naming seems reasonable enough...

Should I go to Asus's site and install drivers then lol

Have you tried ejecting the card/device and reinserting it after Windows has booted?

I've noticed SDHC cards in my Eee show the same symptoms if I leave them in permanently.

i've not been leaving it in the card reader anyway, has been in camera whole time.

Cam says 'connecting to PC' yet never does

Just installed some intel chipset drivers off Asus' site...
Dunno what they did lol
