Appendix B: Troubleshooting  
Q: I have taken photos, but my computer says "No photos in camera." What do I do?  
First, ensure that you have taken photos with your camera. Press the shutter button a few times to  
take some sample photos and try again. If you still get a no photos error, this indicates that the  
software was not installed correctly or you may not meet the minimum system requirements.  
System Requirements:  
At least a Pentium II 300 MHz, AMD Athlon 300 MHz, or a Celeron 400 MHz or higher, at least 128  
MB of RAM. Please note that the older AMD K6 processors will not work. More information about  
determining your computer's specifications can be found in the General Computer Information  
section. If you have determined that you have pictures in your camera and you meet the system  
requirements, follow the steps below to reinstall the software.  
Software Re-installation:  
1. First install the software. Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel and Add/Remove programs.  
You will need to remove Kids Cam Show and Share Creativity Center. After removing it, restart  
your computer. If your camera is connected, disconnect it.

2. Now reinstall the software. Insert the CD that came with your camera. It should automatically  
run the installation.  
3. Restart the computer.  
4. Once your computer is back up, plug the camera into your computer's USB port.  
5. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon. Select Properties.  
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP: Click on hardware and then Device Manager.  
If the camera is installed correctly, there will be a category listed for "Imaging Devices" and clicking  
on the "+" next to it should reveal your camera. If not, you will likely see "Digital Still Camera" under  
"Other Devices" with a brightly colored marking next to it indicating it is not functioning correctly.  
If you are running Windows 2000 or XP: Right click on the non functioning device and select uninstall. If a  
warning pops up, press OK.  
6. Restart your computer again. Your camera is now successfully installed.  
Q: How do I make sure I don't lose important pictures?  
- 25 -  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Your camera uses flash memory which requires a constant electric current to store your photos. Should your  
camera lose power (for instance if the battery dies or is removed) all stored pictures will be lost. We  
recommend always downloading your photos to your computer as soon as possible to prevent unintentional  
data loss.
