If the 10 most hated cameras in the world were listed, this camera would be on the list. My advice is don't even try to turn it on. If you turn it on and use it and then look at the result you will be sorry you turned it on. It was made in 2005 and was an instant failure.

Try these two things and provide additional information and perhaps we can get closer to a possible answer. Semper Fi, Z

The driver is the software that lets Windows 10 recognize external equipment and connect to it. You plug it in by connecting the camera with the USB lead.

I think the USB card is locked. You can slide the card out and flip the little notch up then replace and try.
