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:
First, ensure that you have at least a Pentium II 300 MHz, AMD Athlon 300 MHz, or a Celeron 400
MHz or higher as well as at least 64 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 PhoTags Express. 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 ME: Click on Device Manager.

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 ME: Right click on the non functioning device and select Remove.
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?
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. Photos and videos stored on an SD memory card will not be lost regardless of any change in
battery power.
