I just install the software included in the CD. After that I just pluged the camera and thats it. I use windows 7. I don't know why but the first time i had a problem with the driver of the camera or the installation of the software. I tried again and worked.

There is a small disc came with the package. I do not remember if I had to put it into CD drive and load onto my computer initially. I have window 8. At this time, I just plug it into one of the USB ports. Click "micro-measure camera", then go to drop down "Device", choose USB 2.0 camera. You will be able to see the images.

Hi K!I am plugging it into the USB port directly, I don't have a card reader. iPhoto didn't recognize it... its own software that came on the cd (ancient) didn't see it... I got out the instructional booklet and did all the dumb stuff... you know. The spec's for the product don't advertise that they cover 10.5.5, which is the sad part. I'm hoping that's something they will fix soon? Or I'll figure out a workaround soon. Let me know if you have any luck!

Don't know what you wanna know....but I've been using PICTURE IT for many years and completely satisfied compared to the newer "photo" programs. If you can find a copy and load it into a system that will accept it....good freakin' luck.

You need to connect 2 usb. I have Windows 7 and just plug in to start working. If you want to switch colors, made macros, etc... you need to download and install the software.

What have you tried for transfering the photos? I've never had a problem loading pictures with my USB, as well as by simply loading my memory stick into an sd converter. I'm really not sure I'll be able to answer if those two options do not work.

I recently buy it, I have Win8 and Win 8.1, I connect it via DVI to HDMI, but the touch does not work in any of the two operating systems, Did I miss something ? Please Hep !!!!

Not on my PC w/ Windows 7. I've tried to find drivers and so far no luck on that, or on getting the camera to function. Still trying to get it to operate, however.

When you plug in the camera Win 7 loaded the driver for me. It came up with a Microsoft Driver from 6/21/2006 ver. 6.1.7601.17514. The file it uses is usbvideo.sys buried in the drivers directory. I copied the app to a dir and opened it went to preview and the picture came up in the window. Hopefully this helps.

Regarding plugging in to the USB on the back of the computer, etc. etc., I don't understand why it has to be so much trouble. My Vivitar pocket camera just...works.However, I'm going to try it...I've plugged the camera into a back USB port. We'll see what happens.

The one that I have is specifically for MAC so it does not work with windows. If I am not mistaken there is one that will work with PC computers though. I cannot find any specific version information, I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hey, nobody answered the part about 'Windows 8.1' ...did this camera work for you using windows 8.1? (or has it worked for anyone using windows 10?

I use it for Photoshop, and it seems to work very well. Photoshop itself has issues with Windows 8, but that's another issue.

As Kevin said it will connect like a flash drive when plugged in.While you asked I might as well add: if anyone else is wondering about OLDER software,I have used it on an older computer running Win XP that doesn't support the camera's share software and used the camera with the USB cord as a flash drive no problem.The only *issue* I had is the camera has to be turned on, (on my computer at least) it will it shut off and disconnect if it sits idle too long. Not a big deal, but just figured I would tell you.. if you connected it, then went to go do something and come back and your directory is gone.. just turn the camera back on. :) As Kevin said it will connect like a flash drive when plugged in.While you asked I might as well add: if anyone else is wondering about OLDER software,I have used it on an older computer running Win XP that doesn't support the camera's share software and used the camera with the USB cord as a flash drive no problem.The only *issue* I had is the camera has to be turned on, (on my computer at least) it will it shut off and disconnect if it sits idle too long.

I think it needs to be connected to your PC and you need the included software to view pics. If you have a MAC, then run it thru Photo Booth.
