1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    garr, it just won't detect that it exists. Sometimes it works, especially if I reboot with the camera reconnected, but not this time around. I've reinstalled the driver, replugged the camera (Canon A40) and the USB connector dozens of times and it still hates me. Any other suggestions?

    Sounds like your USB drivers. Most Chipset updates fix it. Try uninstalling your PnP drivers from Windows, then reinstall them. If all else fails, check your manufacturers website for updates.
