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:
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.
Q: How do I restart my camera if the camera freezes up?
Open the battery door and remove the batteries for a few minutes then re-install the batteries with the correct
polarity facing up. Press the power button to start your camera.
