Hello,

I'm having trouble connecting my Lumix camera to my laptop.
The PC doesn't recognize it when I plug it in.
My friend has the exact same camera, and his computer recognized it right away without even using the provided CD.

WHY???

Thank you for replying if anyone has an idea.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hi,
I have a Lumix and I have no recognition problems, I've had it for long enough and I don't remember the steps I took; I must have installed the CD.
Have you tried doing a "device addition"? (control panel).
As for me, I don't use the USB cable, I simply insert the Lumix memory card into my laptop, go to the explorer, and click on "removable disk." Then I "select all," cut, and paste it wherever I want.
Keep me posted.

Thank you for your response ;-)

So I installed the installation CD: LUMIX Simple Viewer. However, it does not start automatically when I connect the device. And when I go to "Acquire on PC," a small message appears: "No images to acquire."

The problem really comes from the fact that my PC does not recognize my device. The same thing happened last time I tried to connect an external hard drive.

So my PC is really not cool. Should I go to the store where I bought it? Or are there some settings to change?

I tried "adding hardware," but... NOTHING!

Thank you

See you!

I will think about the question.
In the meantime, I won't insult you by asking if you've thought about turning your device on (it's like a car that's out of gas... we don't always think about it)
I'll keep you updated on my thoughts.
See you soon.

I don't know where I put my USB cable.
But why don't you use the memory card on your computer?
What equipment do you have? What system?
