A reinstall of XP is a last resort....not ready for that yet
uploading them onto another PC would help now, but since I take pics all the time it will get very annoying with time

[saadie]

yeah .... but .. you only need one pic fer now .... and to goto sleep .. lol

so ... when are yea sendin the pic ??

[dingo]

well I don't have another PC here to do it on, the one I tested it on ealrier was at work.....so it'll have to wait unitl the morning, and by then someone might (hopefully) have come up with a solution

[saadie]

lol .... yeah ....... and u'll stay up all night ... ..

y dont ya download a new driver .. ?

what camera do you have .. ?

[dingo]

Ricoh Caplio R1.....had a look but couldn't find anything, but your welcome to do a search yourself
I am off to bed now, hope to wake up to an answer

[saadie]

Ricoh Caplio R1 ... hmm never heard of that before ... must be awsome .. lol ..

yer sleeping ... i cant believe my eyez .. :shock: ... so i'll have to wait a whole day just to see the pic .. damn .....

[dingo]

I'm up!!!! I still can't see an answer and I'm getting desperate I'll be off to work in about an hour so looks like I'll have to get it done there
BTW, saadie here is a pic of the camera:

[saadie]

lol .. awsome pic ... it says "" Hotlinking Is Prohibited ""

http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/came.../724/show.html
the camera is pritty nice .....
couldnt find any drivers though .....

btw ya tried the camera on anther PC .. did you try anything else on yer laptop ?

[dingo]

yeah I couldn't be bothered hosting the pic myself, so I just hoped they allowed hotlinking
I tried it at work and its fine, so its definately something to do with the software/drvier/settings on my laptop

BTW, here is the pic (nothing special) - please hlep me get the rest



you can just see my bosses HSV GTO too

[enigmatic]

sexy girlies!
if only you had system restore - i say you've got some unhappy registry entries. you could do an xp repair installation if you're feeling adventurous...
instructions are at http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

[dingo]

yes the girlies are very sexy....the skirts could be a bit shorter though They walk past most days so maybe one day I'll just happen to be out there the same time as them

But more importantly, I FIXED THE F*&KEN PROBLEM.....I was thinking what has changed since it last worked (Saturday) and the only thing I could think was I installed the software for my scanner (which I used to post a couple of scans here). So I uninstalled it and everything works again.....I can't really explain it but I'm happy for now
Anyone know what causes this 'clash'?

[saadie]

damn .. the pic isnt working fer me ... :cry:
