The software came with my camera, received as a Christmas gift (no doubt a "regift"). The drivers and software work fine on XP but as soon as you finally get to see a picture taken with that camera you will likely toss it out or "regift" it yourself.

It supersucks.

Yes, it's probably broken. Take it back.

You might want to consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as the free Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Your problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may need to be replaced, or the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.

The only advice I have is to tray and "assist" the lens out when you turn the camera on. Use your fingers to gently attempt to help the lens to come out.
Digital cameras just are meant to be turned into repair shops. So, sending it in for repair really isn't an option.

Here are some other tricks I've learned but have a good chance of not applying to your problem:

• Ensure battery is fully charged. Maybe let it charge overnight. Or, use fresh AA's if that is what it takes.
• Remove battery(ies) from camera and let sit overnight. Retest.
• Attempt a full reset of the camera if available within the MENU.
• Try to turn on without a memory card. Try with a different memory card.

BONUS TIP (WARNING: Last ditch effort)

• As a last resort, when you are prepared to throw it away... wrap it in a towel and and hit it really hard on a hard surface (preferably one that won't be damaged). I actually got a Canon powershot to work again after getting a lens error by doing just this. I could not believe it. I haven't used it much sense, but it still works 4 months later.

Lastly, in the future, consider alternate camera brands. Vivitar is not known for their quality digital cameras. I'm not saying they don't take good photos. I'm just saying you may have a better experience with a Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic or Kodak. (Yes, there are probably others)

http://www.fix-all-dll-errors.com/iml32.dll/

I also registered few dll's from this site...worked in my case :)

Any camera with even low resolution can have pictures printed out as large as one wants, up to a full page. If you are using Windows 7, Vista, or XP you can print out pictures larger than what the software that came with the camera can print out, using the sizing feature of windows print for pictures.

The software that came with the camera may also have this resizing feature, but any picture in the my pictures folder can be printed out to any popular size.

you are 3d so you are crazy

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Another way with our software data cable.
Remove the memory card and fit it on the card reader and connect it on the PC. then go in my computer and open the driver. You can found there folder's. Just copy them and paste on your computer. All the image will transfered on your PC then. Thanks.
i hope it will gives you success.

The power on error is due to failure of the main control system. It will be good to have it checked at the service as you do not have to run around for spares.
You can remove battery and card replace battery and while switching on tap the lens hood on your palms so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck, causing the lens and shutter mechanism to reset .
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
get estimate before you decide.

Hello and welcome to FixYa

Please go to a electronics store and buy a USB card reader. I bought one last week and it cost $0.5 so its cheap as dirt. Then simply remove the card from your camera , pop it into the reader and the pictures will appear on a drive like a flashdrive in your my computer folder.

This is a much better option than using the camera's cable as it is faster , safer , saves on your camera battery and you don't need to install any software or drivers.

The card reader will most likely also still be compatible with any new camera you buy in future.

Once you insert the card into the reader , a storage disk will be created in "my computer". It will look like a flash drive and when you open it , there will be a few folders.

One of these folders will be something like DCMC and inside will be all the pictures on your card. Now just select the pictures you want to copy and copy them to the computer like you would any other file.

Kind Regards
Andrea
