Ah Chucky....how would you know about short buses? Weren't they short wagons in your day??
Thanks Striker....originally I did reinstall the camera software. The puter still couldn't find the camera when it was attached via USB....so I was using the serial port.
Just recently I got another camera without any software....I downloaded the camera drivers from the net and the puter still can't find the camera.
That's what led me to believe it has something to do with USB driver since I've installed one camera's original software and the other camera's drivers.
Any new suggestions? Thanks.
