Just purchased a Polaroid x800 digital waterproof camera and the software disk loads on my laptop with XP, but the users manual, photo/video editing software and the read me file won't load, though the links to the Internet work. Any help?

You don't need any software.

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, despite what I said first, you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads andsupport for Digital Cameras.

Hi, I'd suggest getting a card reader and using that to get photos off as then you don't need any specific software.

Click on read me first and read it. Then, click(sometimes you need to double-click) on user guide. If it does nothing, drag and drop it into your desktop. Do the same with polaroid studio and the video editing software. Decide for yourself if you want the facebook, twitter, and you tube.

4GB High Speed SD Memory Card

Just did this with my daughter and it worked:

1. Turn PC on.
2. Plug camera cable into Camera.
3. Plug camera cable USB end into computer USB port.
4. Turn on Camera... wait until camera show message 'USB, PC, Pictbridge'.
5. PC should be selected if not select by highlighting and press shutter button.
6. Press 'Shutter' button.
7. Window 'Autoplay' appears on PC. Select 'import' in Autoplay window.
8. Another window will ask you to name your picture folder. Give it a name.
9. The pictures download to the picture folder automatically.
10. Turn the camera off and disconnect cable from camera and from the PC
11. ENJOY!!

Do you have the usb cable to connect the camera to the computer?
Are you using internal memory or an SD card?
