Hardware problem
20 Dec 2004 12:39 amJust on a whim I tested if my laptop would recognise my D70 and strangely, despite the New Hardware found and "device is ready for use" messages, it doesn't show up in Explorer. It immediately did that on my PC which is also running XP.
It does show up in Device Manager, so the laptop knows it's there.
Update: Now it works but I don't know why. I switched the camera on and off and dis-/reconnected it and now the drive is there. I tried the powercycle/disconnect before, though.
I remember that something similar happened with my other camera...
Any ideas?
